Why the Echo Buds are worth your money
If you’re after a solid all-around pair of earbuds, the Amazon Echo Buds deliver without breaking the bank. Usually going for $120 if you grab the wired charging model and $140 if you go wireless, they sit on the lower end of the spectrum when it comes to price, but still offer a decent enough set of buds that hold up well — even to more expensive options. Dynamic audio and active noise cancelation (ANC) deliver good sound quality, and features including multipoint pairing, customizable audio settings, and compatibility with Alexa as well as other voice assistants only add to the value they offer.
The three microphones in each earbud and premium speaker drivers deliver a great balance of voice clarity and sound quality, with a reliable Passthrough Mode that bumps up the ambient noise volume to let you hear what’s going on around you. Battery-wise, you’ll get about five hours of life before you’ll need a recharge, but you can quickly get an additional two hours with just a quick 15-minute charge, and 15 hours total out of the case itself. These features are on par with otherwireless earbudsin this price range, making them a great choice as a cheaper set ofworkout earbudsor as your go-to set ofearbuds for callsand meetings.

Either way, both are at a great price point right now, and the savings make each option a viable pick for anyone in need of a cheap new set of earbuds.
