Amazon announced new Echo headphones with ANC feature


Amazon announced the second generation of Echo Buds, so the new wireless earbuds improve the original with a more ergonomic design - 20 percent smaller - and improve active noise cancellation.

The 2021 Echo Buds wireless earbuds come at $ 119.99 for the earbuds and charging case for the USB-C port, or $ 139.99 if the charging case is upgraded to the wireless charging version.

And Amazon has provided a discount for a limited time, so that the regular group drops to $ 99.99, while the wireless group becomes at $ 119.99, with the release of the new Echo Buds on May 13th.

Aside from reducing them, Amazon has also made design changes that focus on comfort in the Echo Buds, as the headphones now have a design with holes, such as: AirPods Pro and Pixel Buds, to reduce unwanted ear pressure.

The company shortened it so that the Echo Buds wouldn't reach deep into the ear canal, the outer depth has been reduced to get more flow, and the ear tips - which come in four sizes included - are now oval.

Instead of the glossy touch surface as on the original Echo Buds, the outward-facing exterior is now matte.

Amazon puts its logo on the earbuds this time, and the headphones come in white in addition to black.

The company says: The second generation headphones are able to cancel twice as much noise as they were previously, and when in transmission mode, you can adjust the amount of ambient noise that you want to come through.

Audio quality has also seen some improvements, according to an Amazon press release: Echo Buds deliver clear, balanced sound with extended dynamic range so you get the most out of your music, regardless of genre.

The statement added: The loudspeakers have been optimized to increase precision in low-frequency audio, which reduces distortion during media playback, and delivers vibrant melodies and clear spoken words.

The second-generation Echo Buds are classified as water- and sweat-resistant, and Amazon says: The microphones on these earbuds have also been improved to pick up lower frequencies compared to the previous generation, providing better quality voice calls.

Battery life is estimated at five hours of listening time with noise cancellation enabled, with two additional charges in the box for a total of 15 hours.

The case now includes LED status indicators for each individual earbud, and if the battery is low, charging via USB-C for 15 minutes gives you about 2 hours of playback.

Amazon hopes that a large part of the Echo Buds appeal is the ability to use Alexa everywhere you go.


Later this year, Amazon said it was adding the VIP Filter feature that debuted via Echo Frames, which 
lets you choose which notifications you want to hear and avoid the rest.
