New to Prime Day? We have a primer on everything you need to know. Sales are accurate at the time of publication, but prices and inventory are always subject to change.
Prime Day is a time when all sorts of brands you've never heard of are offering crazy deals, but there’s one brand that also goes well beyond—and that's Amazon. Kindles and Echoes are always deeply discounted, and that also goes for Amazon’s line of surprisingly decent earbuds.
Right now, the latest Amazon Echo Buds with active noise cancellation (ANC) can be yours for just $44.99. That’s a 68% discount from the list $139.99 list price.
A great pair of earbuds for less than $50
You’d might be surprised that Amazon makes good earbuds, but here we are: In PCMag’s expert review, the Echo Buds got a 4.0 “Excellent” rating. The second generation of Amazon’s in-ear Buds are smaller, and come with a shorter nozzles to improve ear comfort. There’s a touch sensitive surface for basic controls and customizable EQ in the app.
Because these are Echo Buds, they have Alexa built-in. You can ask it questions and ask it to play music, hands free. In testing, PCMag found the Buds' ANC “certainly tamps down distracting noises a bit, though it doesn’t come anywhere near the effectiveness of models like the $250 Apple AirPods Pro and the $280 Bose QuietComfort Earbuds—then again, for the price, you shouldn't expect it to.” Indeed.
Other Echo Buds on sale
If you don’t like the in-ear option, or if you don’t want active noise cancellation, you can find even cheaper Echo Buds on sale right now.
Amazon’s standard Echo Buds with True Wireless Bluetooth 5.2 audio (which are also rated Excellent by PCMag) for just $24.99, down from $49.99.
