Do you ever want to shut out the outside world and immerse yourself in music? If so, you need a good pair of noise cancelling ear buds.
According to independent trials and thousands of satisfied consumers, the Amazon Echo buds are better than Apple AirPods for noise cancelling technology.
And not only are the Echo buds more than $100 cheaper than Airpods but they’re educed by a further $30 if you trade in another Amazon device, making them now $89.99.
These compact and comfortable buds have excellent sound quality, even better noise cancelling technology and 17,000 five star reviews, for less than $100.
They are Alexa enabled for a true hands-free listening experience and work on both Apple and Android devices.
The Amazon Echo buds are like a portable Alexa device. You can speak commands like calling a friend and it will be done instantly, even if they’re not in your ears
With Amazon’s exclusive in-house active noise cancelling tech, the Echo buds do a better job at cancelling low to mid-frequency background noise.
You can cancel out the hubbub of a commuter train or shut out the noise on an airplane excellently, according to satisfied Amazon shoppers, who are reviewing the buds in their thousands.
And unlike the AirPods, which only work with Apple devices, the Echo buds are compatible with both Android and Apple phones and tablets through the Alexa app.

The app allows you to adjust the levels of bass and triple like a music professional, customize the buttons on the side of the buds and integrate with Alexa.
When you want a song, a podcast, an Audible book, check the weather or set an alarm, you can ask Alexa through the headphones with no need to tap or push anything with your hands.
More than 17,000 shoppers have awarded the Echo buds a full five stars, praising their sound quality, in-ear fit and total 20 hours of battery life.
Enjoy music or podcasts as you workout thanks to the snug, custom fit of the Amazon Echo buds. They come with four tips so you can find your perfect size
‘These are just awesome,’ praised one music fan. ‘Good noise cancellation, deep bass, high trebles and the best part of all: Alexa at the ready. Pretty cool to just be able to say what song to play and there it goes.’
Another added: ‘I absolutely love these buds! They charge fast, fit beautifully, sound insanely clear, and I personally could not ask for more.’
Through the Alexa app, you can connect the headphones to other devices in the house to control your lights as well as set up music in different rooms or drop into another speaker to let them know dinner is served.
The Alexa app is available for both Android and Apple phones and can be used to control the buds, make them responsive to Alexa, adjust volume levels and access tutorials
Since the first generation Echo buds, there have been changes in the fit to make these extra comfortable such as a vent to reduce in-ear pressure and a 21 percent smaller size.
All buds come with four different sizes of ear tips and two optional wing tips so you can create the most comfortable sealed-off listening experience.
The improved fit also makes them better for sport, where they’ll withstand both rainy and sweaty workouts being water resistant.
‘So much better than Apple,’ penned another shopper of the Echo Buds 2nd Generation. ‘I jog, workout, shop and fall asleep with them in my ears. I sometimes forget they are in my ears because they’re that comfortable.’
