Amazon Mexico announced the arrival of Echo Buds (second generation) to our market, so this is the first time that the ecommerce giant has launched a headset with integrated Alexa in Latin America.
As with the AirPods Pro, the Echo Buds include active noise cancellation technology, as well as ambient sound mode, which uses the internal and external microphones to increase the sound from the outside and avoid accidents while you are wearing them listening to music or podcast.
Alexa: give me all the power!
One of the great advantages of being an Amazon product is that like the Amazon Echo, the Echo Buds offer the entire Alexa experience within the smart home ecosystem.
This means that just with your voice you can ask Alexa to play music, to stop playback, to set an alarm or a timer, to make a statement, to call one of your contacts through the Alexa app or through your phone and more.
In fact, you can also control all your home automation compatible with Alexa and previously configured from the app for Android or iOS.
“It has never been easier for customers to carry Alexa with them throughout the day; whether it’s at home, walking down the street or going to work, all they have to do is ask to play music or podcasts, call a loved one, add an item to their to-do list and much more, ”said Elizabeth Hopkins, Country Manager for Amazon Alexa Mexico.
The box of these headphones only has a USB-C port on the back, while on the inside it has an LED that indicates the amount of battery of each headset.
In addition, the Echo Buds are IPX4 certified, which makes them resistant to sweat. And although by their design they already fit very well in the ear, in the box there are four pairs of pads and two pairs of fins to better adjust them when exercising or walking on the street.
Finally, the autonomy of these headphones with active noise cancellation is 5 hours, while the case can provide another two charges to offer 15 hours of autonomy. The good news is that with 15 minutes of charging you can reach up to 2 hours of playback.
Similarly, there will be a version compatible with the wireless charging standard, Qi.
Price and availability
The cost of these headphones will be 3,299 MXN for the version with wireless charging, and 2,899 MXN for the “normal” version.
Is it so in presale from today in black and will begin shipping from next October 21. The white edition will also come later.
