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.

Amazon Echo Buds Gen 2 Truly Wireless Review

The Amazon Echo Buds Gen 2 Truly Wireless are the next generation of the Amazon Echo Buds Truly Wireless. They have a more comfortable fit and a smaller carrying...

Case holds two extra charges. Well-built and comfortable. IPX4 rating for water resistance. Graphic EQ in app. Good mic recording quality.

Mediocre controls. Bad passive soundstage. Somewhat short continuous battery life. ANC struggles with noises like bus and plane engines.

The Amazon Echo Buds Gen 2 are okay for neutral sound. Out-of-the-box, their mid and treble response is reasonably well-balanced, so instruments and vocals are present and clear, although a little veiled. However, their default sound profile lacks...

Amazon Echo Buds (2nd Gen) review: Amazon made its good buds even better

The Amazon Echo Buds (2nd Gen) are in some ways just an incremental upgrade over their predecessors, but in other ways, they are a huge improvement from the first generation. It's not ... These buds echo a little louder this time.
