Priced at $40 (£32 or approximately $60 AUD), the latest Echo Buds bear a striking resemblance to Apple’s original AirPods, offering a similar one-size-fits-all design and foregoing noise cancellation. However, Amazon’s offering comes at a significantly lower cost compared to its counterpart. At present, the Echo Buds are available for pre-order exclusively in the United States, with a release date scheduled for June 7.
In conjunction with the Echo Buds, Amazon has also unveiled a range of new Echo smart devices, including the Echo Pop smart speaker with its unique semi-spherical design.
