- Extremely affordable at $49.99 (introductory price was $39.99)

- Multipoint pairing lets you connect to two devices simultaneously
- No active noise cancellation whatsoever
- Open design means sound leaks and ambient noise bleeds in
- Very plain, almost unfinished aesthetic design
“Affordable Alexa vehicle with semi-open design and multipoint pairing”The Verge
The 3rd Gen Echo Buds are the kind of product that earns its place by “refusing to pretend it's something it isn't” — a no-frills, semi-open Alexa delivery device at a price that's difficult to argue with. The open design means “ambient noise bleeds in freely”, which makes these a poor choice for commuters or anyone in a loud environment, but all-day wearers report genuine comfort without the ear fatigue that sealed tips bring. Multipoint pairing at this price point is a real differentiator, letting owners “switch between a laptop and phone without re-pairing”. Those expecting the sound isolation or ANC of the 2nd Gen will be disappointed, but buyers who know exactly what they're getting tend to find it a fair trade.
