Amazon 2nd Gen Echo Buds

Amazon has introduces its second-generation pair of Echo Buds. The new buds boast to be 20 percent smaller and promise enhanced active noise cancellation.

The 2nd Gen Echo Bud features dynamic audio and active noise cancellation. The sealed in-ear design offers a good dit and ANC remixes background noise. The 2nd Gen Echo Buds are also IPX4 rated for water and sweat resistance. You can also use buds in mono mode.

As expected Echo buds come with Alexa. So, you can ask Alexa for making calls, set reminders, and more. It is also compatible with Siri and Google Assistant. Buds work with the Alexa app to stream music, play podcasts, and read Audible audiobooks.

Each bud hs 3 microphones and Amazon claims that they are improved and optimized to capture lower frequencies. So, you will get better quality for voice calls.

The new Amazon Echo Buds promises up to 5 hours of music playback and up to 15 hours of playback with the case. The 15 minutes of charging also promise 2 hours of playback.

The 2nd Gen Echo Buds are priced at $119.99 for buds with USB-C charging case and $139.99 for bud with an upgraded case with wireless charging. The new Echo Buds will be released on May 13th.

Now if you compare 2md Gen Echo Buds with rivals, you will understand how aggressive Amazon is in pricing. Most competitors charge more than $200. Google Pixel Buds and Jabra Elite 75t are priced at $179.99. Sony 1000XM3 earbuds and Jabra Elite 85t are available at $229.90. Apple AirPods Pro costs $249 and Bose QuietComfort Earbuds is priced at $279. I am still not sure about the quality, so cannot make any comparison but the pricing surely seems nice.

Amazon has also dropped the prices of previous Echo buds.
