the base echobuds 2 (w/o wireless charging case) is on sale for just $80 today! I canceled my order from two days ago that hasn't shipped and reordered it at the sale price
One of the most helpful videos of a comparison I have ever seen. Thank you. Literally hit every point, I have never seen someone talk about using a single headphone at a time which is something you did props.
I loved the detail of wearing them with long hair because with the AirPods the truth is that it is real it feels different from wearing the collected hair and sometimes they get hooked and even fall off if you don’t adjust them correctly. Thanks.
Nice video very informative and had me waiting for her pick which I thought would be the Airpods pro. I'm interested in the Amazon one's. Will be buyng for sure thanks CNET
Really nice video and brilliant comparison. You said the airpods pro is good all round performer. If I want to listen to audio books while commuting, would you say the echo buds2 are a good choice?
What about comfort? My AirPods Pro are torture devices for my ear cartilage!! I’m kinda looking for a better alternative that works with my work headphones on top! Regular AirPods were great till they broke.
They are comfortable and you really do get the most out of them with the Alexa app. The next close comparison would be the Google Pixel earbuds which are really comfortable and able to do voice control.
I regularly compare products to cheaper alternatives and this was a good fit because they’re both so similar with ANC! Just that one is half the price 🙂
@@_raca True wireless earbuds have a short lifespan compared to wired counterparts. Small batteries, the charging case, and the difficulty of replacing batteries means that most people will throw them out once they can’t hold a charge. Apple has sold well over 100 million AirPods. So there will be millions of pounds of e-waste from new wireless earbuds as their small batteries slowly die. A problem that wired earbuds and headphones don’t have because they get power from the source. I love my wireless earbuds, but it’s hard to deny the environmental impact that the new product category will have. Hope this helps
@@wrliggin2 are you new to this planet? Have you even heard of recycling??? I am pretty sure all these earbuds are made with materials that can be recycled
Idk why all these recent reviews still quote the pros at 250$ they haven't been that all year , they sit around 199 at every major retailer been that way since late last year
True but the AirPod pro at $200 and echo buds had an early price of $100 so double the price. I have both and they match up fairly equal. Although I like AirPods Pro more it’s not double price better. Also Amazon let’s you get them in 5 payments of $20 so it feels like a smaller hit.
@@menobueno417 never used echo buds 2 so idk how they stack in usage. I was just saying all these reviews I see or comparison to airpord pros are quoting the price when they were new . They're basically 200$ now and it's plenty of ways you can pay in installment as well . Far as them being worth double the echo buds ...I can't speak on that both are probably good buds though
Good overview of both. :) I do agree with others who've said that the comparison is a bit strange, though. If the Echo Buds 2 either cost more or did more, it might be a better comparison, but it seems like you spent a lot of time saying that you could forgive the Echo Buds 2 for their not matching up to the AirPod Pros because of the price.
is it just me or when I got use to sony xm4 ANC the airpods pro ANC or passive transparent whatever its called sounds like nothing is happening or changing. I try to hear my pc fans from far away and sounds like normal on all the modes for the airpods so I'm guessing its the device its connected to since I sold my iphone 8 and switched to the pixel 6 i havent been using it with the pixel but I use it on my ipad or macbook but I honestly don't know whats going on since I remember the ANC was working really well 2 months ago. I will try to reset the airpods and see what happens.
Thank you very much, even though the Amazon buds are pretty good considering their price I would rather buy the Apple ones if I could afford them mainly because I’m already in the Apple ecosystem. Also I don’t trust Amazon and I don’t do any buying any more on Amazon because of that.
you trust a company that was proven to downgrade older equipment in order to get you to buy new ones, also apple has been found to push new products for any repair and overpricing repairs to push you to get a new product. apple is also the company who attacks 3ed party repair shops because they will fix your items and not tell you to replace it. so let me know why you "trust" apple. also amazon has a proper returns policy and is a store front for multiple companies, you do realize that amazon doesn't make the items they just allow you to buy them and ship them out.
OK, drunken hobo. What I mean to say is that I value my privacy and I think that Apple does a better job of protecting it than Google does. Also, I have almost always had TOP NOTCH customer service from Apple.
@@videobiker9131 apple is the company that was sued for having siri collect private data without consent to sell to advertisement company's also they allowed a back door into their deceives for china's censorship laws. you might want to do some research on the company you claim to endorse.
It’s no different like our phones, just go to the Alexa setting on the app and turn them off, that’s what I read from a guy that reviewed them suggest 🤷♂️
What a ridiculous comparison. Air Buds Pro £229 ($289), Echo Bud (2) £46 ($58). That is approx 5 times of a price differential which is like comparing a Porsche Panamera and a Nissan Sentra. They are both cars but one a few more features than the other one; who'd of thought?
Anybody got any recommendations? I don’t want AirPods simply for the fact they are white I would really like some black ones but idk if I should get these or something else. I also don’t want something super expensive.
It won't be long before Amazon builds its own Phones. Google has been a big disappointment with the Pixel Line I now have the Pixel 5, & my iPhone Pro Max is better. I think Amazon will dominate their competition. They have the most cash and they are building their own cellular satellite system. Amazon is in the long game. I do like the new echo buds. The apple are thin and feel cheap in my ear.
@@mrpmj00 yeah I haven't actually seen anyone with sony earbuds.. doesn't take away from the fact that they have the best sound quality and noise cancelling..
@@nikanzare3099 I disagree, and I'm a 4 SONY TV owner since 2000. BOSE makes the best noise cancelling headphones and I own two, I've auditioned the SONY and they weren't as good.
@@nikanzare3099 And if you're talking about sound quality: 1. I own 3 Sennheiser wireless headphones (for open ear comfort so I can still hear someone entering the family room) hooked up to the tv so I don't disturb others at night. 2. I own an Audio Technika wired headphones for the best sound.
And for the best sound if we're not talking headphones: 1. Car amps: Alpine 2. Home receivers: Denon (I own 3, I just bought 2 in the last month) 3. Car head units: Kenwood 4. Car speakers: Bose with noise cancellation in my 2017 Corvettte.
This is one of the worst comparisions done by cnet. Amazon targeting Google company, here the comparison have to be done between Amazon Echo buds and google pixel buds or google galaxy buds. However cnet is a private ajency, they won't do comparison in justice. Which ever company pays money to them they would do comparison of those products. At the most they would tell apple airpods and airpods pro are the best compared to all other earbuds.
Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any questions I didn’t answer about these buds 👇

Nice video. Compared with Echo Buds 1, Echo Buds 2 has greatly improved both in appearance and performance.
First of all, a warm welcome back Lexy, feels like it's been ages since we last saw a video from you. Great comparison as always 😊

Can you record a conversation (either in-person or on phone) with either buds?
Good comparisons and well supported recommendation.
It would help if you lower the mic and speak into it, if you have it pointed at your neck it sounds like you are talking through a sock.
Where’s the link for the airpods pro ear tips? 🥺
They’re called "comply" ear tips… I have them. You can find them on Amazon ironically haha
Sorry about that I forgot the one link! In the description now. They’re Comply tips
That Alexa warning was clutch. Thanks!
Bit of a weird comparison. They should be comparing to regular AirPods or the Galaxy buds
because they both have anc

Its 34$ in prime sale.

My bad, forgot to add. In the description now!
Update I heard now let's you Bluetooth connect to multiple devices. I just ordered a pair so I can't confirm. Just saw on another review
Seemed like a no-brainer when the Amazon AB2s were reduced to £34.99 from £109 on Prime Day!

Did she say "... versus wireless earbuds, headphones, werewolves, smartphones every other comparison you can think of..." at the end?😂
It's too bad buds cannot be used as a makeshift walkie-talkie between two people, each wearing one of the pair.

you don't trust the biggest company in the world? and because of that you're not buying a pair of earbuds?

Yes. You can choose from siri, Google, and alexa. You can even put in a customizable tap to switch between smart assistants.

Another cheap copy of AirPods pros.
It's just not tho, I have the pros and they mid
All earbuds basically the same nowadays
No contest lol
Face it, Apple just went Gangsta on everyone with the new Beats Studio Buds by Dre for just $149 that's about to be sold out. 💰😁
Beats are for Normies that like getting finessed.
Ew hissing noise? Thats all I need to stay away
Does she have a onlyfans
DO NOT buy echo buds. Any ear tips, won’t stay on my ear.

They already tried several years ago and it flopped big time.
It did but wasn't thought to be very good
I don’t even need to watch the video. More, because Apple does it best. ❤️ 🍎
