The Amazon Echo Buds are currently available at the remarkable price of $24.99, reduced from their usual $49.99—marking their lowest price to date, as confirmed by price monitoring services. These stylish, stem-style earbuds come in black and glacier white options. They come with soft silicone tips for a generally secure fit, but the sound quality can fluctuate depending on how they sit within the ear canal. Each Echo Bud is equipped with powerful 12mm dynamic drivers, providing a frequency range from 20Hz to 20kHz. When positioned correctly, these earbuds deliver rich bass without distortion at high volumes, complemented by well-balanced mids and highs, as highlighted in a PCMag review.

These earbuds are powered by Bluetooth 5.2 and support a variety of audio codecs including AAC, AptX, and SBC, ensuring excellent compatibility at an attractive price point. However, they do not feature active noise cancellation, which could be a significant consideration for some users. On a positive note, multipoint pairing allows for seamless transitions between devices. Furthermore, the touch controls are responsive and customizable through a dedicated app, enabling users to adjust EQ settings, manage streaming services, activate hands-free Alexa, and utilize the Find My feature to recover lost earbuds.

The Echo Buds promise a battery life of five hours on a single charge, complemented by an extra 20 hours when used with the charging case (disabling hands-free Alexa can extend the life of the charge to six hours, though individual experience may vary). It’s worth noting that a USB-C charging cable is not included in the packaging, so users will need to have their own. For those who prioritize durability, the IPX2 water resistance rating may be a limitation; while they can withstand minor splashes, they are not designed for heavy rain or intense sweat, so exercise caution in demanding environments.
