The latest Amazon Echo Buds 2 with ANC are a huge 61% off right now

Despite their best efforts with Fire TV devices, Kindles, and the surprisingly good Amazon Basics line, it is somewhat difficult to remember that Amazon is more than a retailer — that they’re also a producer of products themself. This deal — which takes the $140 Amazon Echo Buds 2, drops the price by 61% (a discount of $85), and sells them for just $55 — really reminds you that Amazon is alive and well as a producer. Tap the button below to check out this neat headphones deal yourself or keep reading to see our take.

The Amazon Echo Buds 2 are an affordable pair of earbuds that are comfortable to wear, have 15 hours of total battery life, and are IPX4 water resistant. They also feature ANC, something you’ve classically not seen below $60. And while you shouldn’t expect the kind of silence you’ll get from Sony’s new WH-1000XM6, they’ll take the edge off. Our Amazon Echo Buds 2 review mentions that where these buds really shine, instead, is their transparency mode, which is adjustable and can even make external sounds louder when dialed up to the max. As an Amazon product, you’ll also enjoy how they can connect with your Alexa app’s location services, helping you find your buds whenever they get lost. As an interesting quirk, the inner accelerometer of the Echo Buds 2 works as a basic step counter, making these a great Fitbit alternative if steps is the main stat you’re looking to track.

Classically, at their full price, there was the question of who these buds were really for. They have a special feature that lets you talk directly to Alexa hands free (i.e. there’s no need for an initial button press) directly from your earbuds, so they were always handy for the Alexa-obsessed. At just $55, however, the range of interested parties goes up immensely. If you compare these buds at $55 to some of the offerings in our list of the best budget headphones and earbuds and best wireless earbuds, you’re really only going to come up with two alternatives anywhere close to this price and quality — the EarFun Air Pro 4 (marked down to $63) or the Soundcore Space A40 (marked down to $59). Getting Amazon’s newest buds for just $55, however, still feels like a steal, especially since that is a price that’s $85 off their usual $140.
