Amazon Echo Buds (2nd gen) review: Improved in nearly every way

Compared to its closest rivals, Amazon was late to the true wireless earbud game. By the time the company introduced its Echo Buds in 2019, Apple was already on version two and the AirPods Pro came shortly after. Google's wired Pixel Buds were two years old, and the company would go on to launch an improved version in 2020. As is typically the case when a company enters a new product category, the first Echo Buds had some flaws despite offering hands-free access to Alexa at an affordable price. Now Amazon has returned with the "all-new" Echo Buds ( $100 and $120) which feature true active noise cancellation (ANC), improved audio quality and a redesign.
