Alexa works well on the earphones, it assists in increasing volume, switching the song, and making calls. Also, you can ask Alexa to switch on Noise cancellation when needed. The active noise cancellation works well without the vacuum effect.
The audio quality is rich and natural. There’s no extra bass to notch up music. The audio has a spatial existence which makes it more natural and makes you wonder the turn towards the voice is coming from. For music lovers, the Echo Buds are highly recommended because of their natural audio surround, which is enough to wow the lovers. Whereas, Echo buds also offers sidetone, which lets you hear your voice on calls.
The battery life is expected and lasts a week with regular use. It can last maybe a couple of days with full-day usage. The charging case can be charged wirelessly which is an advantage.
The Echo Buds 2 is priced at Rs. 11,999 and is capable enough to stand in a cluttered market. These are truly wireless earphones and they can be a good option for music lovers at this price range.
