I thought Apple’s “Hey Siri” feature was flawless, but Amazon’s is also exceptional. However, the signature function on Amazon’s buds remains Alexa hands-free voice activation, which allows you to fire up the AI bot by saying “Alexa” and following up with your voice command. I’m also appreciative of the sound prompts when activating functions, as this is a great indicator for ensuring intended commands are being met.
The touch controls are highly responsive and register taps accurately. Adding to the Echo Buds 2’s intelligibility is on-ear detection to automatically pause music when removing the buds and resume playback when placed back on your ears. These functions include native assistant, volume up/down, Alexa tap-to-talk, mic on/muted, disable, and ANC/Passthrough.

Amazon Echo Buds 2 review: Touch controls and digital assistantĪ full suite of media controls is available with some defaulted to single (play/pause), double, (next track/answer or end call) and triple taps (previous track), while the others can be assigned to the long-hold gesture. Personally, I thought Apple’s version provided better feedback to accomplish a tighter seal for optimal ANC and sound. Amazon also developed an Ear Tip Fit Test that does a decent job of analyzing your ears to determine the best tip-and-wing combo. Included with the device are several ear tips and wings for personalized fit the combination helps lock the buds in place with minimal slippage. The cavity rests nicely on the inner part of your ear. It is sold in two colors: Black and Glacier White.Ĭomfort is moderate, meaning you can wear the buds for about 1.5 to 2 hours before fatigue sets in. The Amazon Echo Buds 2 can be purchased directly from Amazon or at other major online retailers, including Best Buy and Target.
