Amazon reps told me the new noise canceling cuts out twice as much noise as the previous Echo Buds. The noise canceling isn't on par with that of top noise-canceling earbuds like the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds or quite at the level of Apple's AirPods Pro, but it's much improved over the noise canceling in the original Echo Buds. And these also have a sidetone feature that allows you to hear your voice inside the earbuds as you're talking, so you can modulate your voice and don't end up shouting.

The 5.7-millimeter drivers are new and Amazon's using a Realtek chipset with Bluetooth 5.0.Įach bud has three microphones, which is supposed to help with noise reduction during calls (it's good but not top-notch) as well as voice pickup when you're issuing Alexa commands. The Echo Buds may not blow you away with their sound quality, noise-canceling or call quality, but they generally measure up well against other noise-canceling earbuds in this price range and perform well.

The included sport fins come in three sizes. The earbuds are IPX4 water-resistant like the AirPods Pro, which means they're splash-resistant but not fully waterproof. In the end, I decided to forgo using the sport fins because the buds stayed in my ears securely without them, even when I went running, but it's good that Amazon includes the fins because they may help some people get a more secure fit. It takes a little finesse to get the sleeve on correctly. So just make sure the sport fin isn't interfering with charging. I couldn't figure out why the buds were still connected at first because they were in the case, but then I realized the bud wasn't really making a connection with the charging pin. You can use a single bud, left or right, in mono mode if you want to leave one ear open. Also, if the bud isn't sitting right on the charging pin, the bud won't turn off and will stay connected to your phone. The only other problem I encountered - I'll get the small criticisms out of the way early - was that when I put one of the silicone sport fins on and put the bud back in the charging case, the left bud didn't quite make contact with the charging pins (there's a magnet in the case that draws the bud to the charging pins) so the bud ended up not charging.

Simply say the Alexa wake word and Amazon's voice-assistant will be all ars, ready to accept your voice command (one of the many it understands, anyway). You have to use the Alexa app for pairing to enable the hands-free Alexa feature.

The pairing process should work smoothly for most people, but note that the Echo Buds do not offer multipoint Bluetooth pairing, so these headphones can't be simultaneously paired with two source devices, say, a phone and a laptop. I didn't have any trouble pairing them with a Pixel 4 XL that only has a handful of Bluetooth devices saved to it. I had a little trouble pairing the earbuds with my iPhone 12 Pro, but I was told that may be because I have too many devices saved to my Bluetooth list (the hazards of being a wireless headphone and speaker tester).

Like Apple, Amazon has a fit test in its companion Alexa app for iOS and Android that lets you know how good a seal you've achieved. I usually go with a large ear tip but for these the medium tips fit me best. While the buds have a fairly standard, slightly bulbous design, they did fit my ears well, even without applying one of the three different sizes of sport fins that are included. I also appreciated the smooth matte finish on both the buds and their compact charging case - it's 40% smaller the charging case for the original Echo Buds, which had a tendency to show scratches. A version with a wireless charging case costs $20 (£20) more. I like the shape of the tips, which are are more convex and similar in style to those found on the Jabra Elite 75t. It's also worth noting that they have a shorter nozzle, so the tips don't dip into your ear canal as deeply as the original Echo Buds. The Echo Buds 2, in black or glacier white, feature a smaller, more polished design, improved sound and noise canceling and slightly better voice-calling performance. Unlike some Amazon devices that have received small upgrades over time, the second-generation Echo Buds are indeed completely new and cost $10 less than the original Echo Buds. Noise reduction when making calls in noisy environments could be slightly better.
