TLDR Review: Echo Buds (2023), Glacier White
Pros

- •Simple and quick setup via the Alexa app with instant recognition, making it useriendly.
- •Offers audio personalization with an easo-use equalizer in the app for bass, mid, and treble adjustments.

Cons
- •The silicone sleeves can be difficult to remove and sometimes cause irritation; many users find a better fit without them.
- •Earbuds may not seal the ear canal well without eartips, and even with them, some find the fit insecure or uncomfortable depending on ear shape.
- •Case lid design is frustrating to open due to a poorly placed indent and some hinge flex; earbuds can rattle inside during transport.
- •Microphone quality is adequate but not outstanding, leading to average call clarity.
- •No wireless charging option for the case, which some users expected at this price point.
- •Alexa connection notifications are less informative than in previous Echo Buds versions, which can be slightly confusing.
Bottom Line
The Amazon Echo Buds (2023 Release) are a strong contender in the true wireless earbuds market, offering premium sound quality, excellent comfort for many, and deep Alexa integration with impressive battery life. However, if you’re picky about ear fit or want wireless charging, these might cause a bit of frustration. If wireless charging or a more secure ear seal is a must-have, you might want to explore other options, but for Alexa fans looking for quality sound and smart features under $100, these should be on your radar.
