Amazon Echo Buds Are Now 50% Off
Amazon Echo Buds , available in black or glacial white , are now $24.99 (down from $49.99)—the lowest price ever, according to price trackers . These rod-shaped earbuds come with translucent silicone covers to ensure a secure fit, but sound may vary depending on how the earbuds fit in your ears. Inside the Echo Buds are 12mm dynamic drivers with a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz. When positioned correctly, they deliver tight, distortion-free bass even at high volumes, and the mids and highs balance the sound beautifully, as noted in this PCMag review .
These headphones feature Bluetooth 5.2 and support AAC, AptX, and SBC codecs, providing impressive compatibility for the price. However, they lack active noise cancellation, which may be a drawback for some users. On the other hand, they support multipoint pairing for seamless switching between devices. Additionally, the earbuds’ touch controls are said to be very responsive and customizable via the companion app, where you can also adjust equalizer settings, control default streaming platforms, toggle hands-free access to Alexa, and enable Find Me to find lost headphones. .
The Echo Buds offer up to five hours of battery life on a single charge, with an additional 20 hours provided by the charging case (turning off Alexa hands-free can extend battery life to six hours, although your mileage may vary). Note that Amazon doesn’t include a USB-C charging cable in the box, so you’ll have to provide your own. Additionally, if durability is a priority, you’ll likely be disappointed by the Echo Buds’ IPX2 water resistance rating. While they can withstand light splashes, they are not designed to withstand heavy rain or sweat, so you should be careful in more challenging conditions.
