Quick Start Guide

Q: I was wondering if these ear buds will read my incoming texts to me? If so how do I do this?

A: Hello, Onetwin. The Echo Buds cannot read incoming texts, but it does give you an alert that you got a message. You can make calls and send messages from the Echo Buds just by asking Alexa. I hope that information helps. Have a great day!

Q: Are these ear buds compatible with the PlayStation four?

A: Hello! The Echo Buds use Bluetooth 5.0 Hands-Free Profile. As long as the PlayStation supports this Bluetooth functionality you should be able to pair them. I hope this helps, have a great day!

Q: How do you send hands free text message? Do you need to enable a feature?

A: Hi Shawn, thank you for your question. Regarding being able to send hands free text messages, you can use Echo buds with voice assistants, like Siri and Google Assistant, and create touch shortcuts to access them. Note: For Echo Buds (2021 release, 2nd gen) and Echo Buds (2023 release), customize your tap controls in the app to set a gesture for using voice assistants. Make sure that your phone has Siri (iOS) or Google Assistant (Android) enabled. Place Echo Buds in your ears. Use tap controls to access the voice assistant feature. For Echo Buds (2019 release, 1st gen), press and hold the touch sensor until you hear a chime. For Echo Buds (2021 release, 2nd gen) and Echo Buds (2023 release), use the custom tap control you have set in the app. Hopefully this helps. Have a great day!

Q: Do the earbuds work with your location services off?

A: My Earbuds have no service in my location Northlake TX.. ;-(

Q: Any idea when preorders are going to start shipping? I thought these were released last week 5/13).

A: undefined

Q: Can you use them with a laptop in addition to the phone, also I read a comment that Alexa requires "full access to my phone contacts, location, emails, calendar etc." is this right, understand some access for making calls but to listen to music? Thank U

A: Hi RK200, The Echo Buds are just like any other bluetooth headphones, with the exception of a few things like they have Alexa built into them for hands free help. As long as the device you would like to connect them to has Bluetooth capability, yes, you can connect them to the device. I hope this information helps. Have a great day.

Q: Are these the buds with the wireless charging? I believe the wireless charging buds are $20 more.

A: Not wireless. Those are $20 more. USB-C is what I have.

Q: Can you use both of these independently or do you have to use them both at the same time.

A: You can use them independently. If you leave one of the buds in the case and put the other in your ear either will work by itself.

Disappointing...
I wasn't expecting much, as Amazon is not really known to be in the TWS space but still... A company with that much resources and funding I expected a more polished and competitive product. Sadly, this is not the case the sound quality reminds me of some lower end budget options that you can pick up at Amazon. The controls are easy to use, the app is straightforward and the ANC is actually decent. The Sound is just the deal breaker for me. Save your money, spend more on something better

Good sound small package
THE BREAKDOWN: The Echo Buds(GEN 2) are easy to get setup and sound great. The initial setup was done by downloading the Amazon Alexa app via the Apple store or Google play store. Once you get the app, just follow the instructions and within a couple of minutes you are connected and ready to use them. They do include some really nice instructions that are easy to read and follow. The Echo buds come with 3 different tips, (small, medium and large) and also some wing tips which is like a little silicone sleeve for the main body of the earbud. I have tried all of the tips and for me the best is one tip being medium and one tip being small. These earbuds include Alexa which I find a nice feature. Just by speaking to your assistance you can do a ton of things. One thing that I find helpful is the shopping list, I can just tell my assistant to add….milk and bread to the shopping list and poof like magic it is done. Very helpful in my option. The audio quality was very good with these earbuds. They are not the top of the line in sound but they definitely sound good on call, music and video. The ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) works very well as long as you have the right size tips selected. The battery life was good around 15 hours with case and 5 hours per charge on each of the earbuds. If you charge for 15 minutes you get 2 hours of battery life. PRO’s: - Alexa enabled - USB-C - Good battery life - Compact and easy to carry CON’s: - Not stellar on the bass - Had trouble getting the earbuds in the case properly SUMMARY: Overall, this product worked as intended, and I would recommend this to a friend if they are in the market for device like this.

Decent sound with great options!
I just picked up these new 2nd gen Amazon Echo Buds, and I am fairly impressed so far. The earbuds are true wireless and are capable of active noise canceling or passthrough mode. These earbuds claim to be sweat-resistant, and I believe them thus far, as I have had no issues even when running in the rain. I love how these buds connect to Alexa with ease, and you can just say the magic wake word “Alexa” and she is there to assist. Setting up the Echo Buds was a breeze. I already had the Alexa app, but once you open the earbud case, and the app, my phone instantly recognized the new device, and pairing the buds with my phone took seconds. So, the set-up was simple. Fitment is great, as these buds come with a fit kit that includes four different size rubber earpieces and three different size rubber wings. After you get those buds feeling just right, the app has a fitment test to ensure you are getting the most secure fit that will ensure the best sound. The case is a great size, small enough to put in your pocket, but not too small where it can become lost easily. Speaking of getting lost, the Alexa app lets you find your buds if they were to go missing, with a map and directions on how to get to their location. The sound quality is pretty good, not the best earbuds I have ever used, and definitely not the worst, these are right in the middle. I am glad the app has an equalizer which greatly improved the sound quality. The bud’s connectivity feels very strong, not once did the devices disconnect, or cut in and out, the connection worked flawlessly. I like the size of the buds where they are small and discreet and matte black, and not huge like some other buds out there. Overall, I think these are a decent pair of ANC true wireless earbuds. The sound quality passes for a water-resistant, ANC, and smart earbud that doesn’t break the bank. The fitment of these buds is perfect. The portability and battery life are great. The price point for these buds is on point. I would recommend this pair of earbuds, sure they are good, but I would also look around and see what else is out there.
