While the audio experience may not be as immersive, the redesigned Echo Buds offer some notable features. Thanks to the overhaul, Amazon was able to significantly improve the battery life, allowing the earbuds to last up to 20 hours on a single charge when the case is fully powered. In comparison, the previous generation Echo Buds could only manage up to 10 hours with the case.
The new Echo Buds retain several features from previous models, including the integration of Alexa for voice commands and touch controls that can be customized. The earbuds also come equipped with two microphones and a voice detection accelerometer, enabling better call quality by distinguishing between the person speaking and surrounding voices. Additional features include multipoint pairing to switch audio between two devices simultaneously and a VIP Filter to customize notification preferences.
