You don’t get fancy Spatial Audio, dynamic head tracking, or any type of state-of-the-art AI integration here either, but the Amazon Echo Buds (2023) are definitely affordable enough now to make you overlook all their obvious flaws and focus on the positives.
Said positives include a respectable battery life rating of 20 hours with the bundled charging case factored in (or up to 6 hours when you don’t take that into account), as well as a decidedly comfortable semi-in-ear design, multipoint pairing, fast charging, and (basic) sweat resistance.
The sound is supposed to be pretty good too, thanks to some surprisingly large and presumably powerful 12mm drivers, and of course, this being an Amazon-made product, you get built-in Alexa assistance as well.
On the bright side, that means this particular product will not go down in price any further on July 16, so you can get an early start on your Prime Day shopping right now with zero concern and minimal spending.
