Amazon Echo Buds (2nd Gen) Review

 

A good, if unadventurous pair of wireless earbuds

Warm audio presentation ; Decent noise-cancellation ; Good call quality ; Alexa integration

Anonymous looks ; Overall battery life is low ; Not the most adventurous sound ; Best suited to Alexa users

A solid pair of true wireless buds with enjoyable sound, decent noise-cancellation, and good quality for the price. The Amazon Echo Buds(2nd Gen) lack pizzazz and excitement, and they’re best suited for those in the Alexa ecosystem, but they are a good...

Amazon Echo Buds (2nd Gen) review: true wireless earbuds for fans of Alexa

 

The Amazon Echo Buds (2nd Gen) are great value for money as well

Alexa built-in ; Four sizes of ear tips included ; Good sound for this price

Short battery life ; Noise-cancelling is just ok ; They stick out from your ears

The Amazon Echo Buds (2nd Gen) have good sound and hands-free access to everything Alexa has to offer. You'll even be able to use your voice to control the music. On the flip side, the battery life leaves a lot to be desired and the ANC isn't that...

Amazon Echo Buds (2nd gen) review

 

Amazon has redesigned its true wireless earbuds, making them smaller and better sounding. Plus, there's active noise cancellation this time.

Alexa works well ; Comfortable fit

Battery life isn’t the longest ; ANC could be better

The 2021 Echo Buds are good true wireless earbuds for the money, but they don't offer best-in-class sound or noise cancelling. If you want hands-free Alexa, though, they're a great buy.

Amazon Echo Buds With Active Noise Cancellation (2021 Release, 2nd Gen) Review

 

Solid, balanced audio quality ; Active noise cancellation ; Hands-free Alexa voice control

Doesn't offer particularly deep bass or crisp highs ; Overly sensitive touch controls

The second-generation Echo Buds improve upon Amazon's original true wireless earphones with a smaller, lighter design and active noise cancellation.

Amazon Echo Buds review: very hard to beat for the price

 

Improved in almost every way, and still for a low price.

Price, price, price ; Improved comfort and more effective noise cancellation ; Excellent passthrough mode ; Satisfying sound quality for the price

Average battery life ; ANC doesn’t measure up to the best ; Hands-free Alexa isn’t always as good as native voice assistants

Amazon’s second-generation Echo Buds improve on comfort and sound quality — and they’ve got more powerful noise cancellation than before. But the most appealing part is their aggressive price.

Amazon Echo Buds (2023) Review: Cheap Earbuds That Are Nice For The Price - SlashGear

 

Amazon Echo Buds (2023) earbuds are surprisingly inexpensive for the decent level of quality they deliver. They don't do much, but what they do, they do well.

Easy to set up and use without the Alexa app ; Customizable touch controls for each bud ; Good sound and voice quality ; In-ear detection with automatic pausing ; Solid battery life

No wireless charging and no USB-C cable included ; Might be uncomfortable for smaller ears ; Initial Alexa app setup is obnoxious

Amazon Echo Buds (2nd Gen) Review: Alexa and ANC on a budget

 

As lockdown gradually lifts, the active noise cancelling earbuds which have made working from home more bearable are about to get a taste of the outside world. Amazon's new Echo Buds (2nd Gen…

Much cheaper than most ANC wireless earbud rivals ; Always-on Alexa is convenient and flexible ; Long battery life ; Wireless charging case adds to ease of use

ANC isn't quite as isolating as other earbuds ; Music quality is solid but not outstanding ; Dedicated Anker wireless charging pad is only 5W

Amazon Echo Buds (2nd gen)

 

Good design and tight Alexa integration don't make up mediocre audio reproduction and ineffective noise cancellation.

Sleek design ; You’ll never need to yell “Alexa!” ; Can pair with two devices simultaneously

Mediocre sound quality ; Less-than-effective ANC ; Unimpressive battery life

How much do you love Alexa? You’d have to really adore Amazon’s digital assistant to choose its Echo Buds over other quality in-ear headphones.
