Amazon Echo Buds 2 Review: A More Affordable Alternative to Apple's AirPods Pro

Between video calls and workouts at home, it felt like I was constantly putting some sort of implement in my ear. Wireless earbuds have become essential--as has noise-canceling technology to drown out the sounds of housemates. If you're looking for a new pair, and are leery of dropping $249 on Apple's shiny Pro'pods, consider Amazon's recent update to its Bluetooth buds. The second-generation Echo Buds have active noise cancellation and built-in, hands-free Alexa. The price--$120, or $140 with a wireless charging case--is why these headphones are worth your attention.
