The all-new Amazon Echo Buds impressed our tester with their active noise cancelation feature and reportedly improved comfort.


The second generation Echo Buds also addressed the biggest problem we had with the original: The comfort—or rather, the lack thereof. This new model is "remarkably comfortable," according to our reviewer, who said they felt "natural and unobtrusive." It's also 20% smaller, according to Amazon, and comes with four ear tip sizes and three ear wing sizes. There's an ear tip-fit test feature in the Alexa app to help get the fit dialed in. Sure, the battery life is still only average at up to five hours (up to six-and-a-half hours with active noise cancelation and Alexa turned off), but our tester said it will likely be adequate for most users.

If you're on the hunt for true wireless ear buds, the Echo Buds might be just what you're looking for.
