Jun 4th, 2021 When it comes to technology and new products, there’s something to be said about avoiding the first iteration of the device. It’s a constant trend that we continue to see, as evidenced by the Galaxy Fold to the Galaxy Z Fold 2, and will presumably see when the Surface Duo 2 is launched sometime later this year. But the same guidelines and rules apply to accessories like the Amazon Echo Buds. The original Echo Buds were Amazon’s entryway into competing with the likes of Samsung’s Galaxy Buds+ and obviously, the Apple AirPods Pro. These featured some interesting noise cancelation courtesy of Bose, along with providing a hands-free Amazon Alexa experience. But for the most part, the original Echo Buds simply fell flat and couldn’t compete against the “big dogs”.
