The All-New Amazon Echo Buds (2023)

[@Ike32]

So happy to finally see someone actually review these. All of the other vids so far have been basically ads

[@larrybrown7455]

Fair review. I've owned since release date and your assessment matches my overall experience. My one complaint is that the fit is just okay. Sometime, right ear bud falls out of my ear. I find myself frequently readjusting the right bud. But I'm satisfied with the sound, the price, and the Alexa integration.

[@matthewgower689]

Great review. I really like these earbuds. I'm used to the silicone tipped earbuds, but I've been able to make find an EQ that's comfortable for me (bass all the way down, mid and highs all the way up)

[@commish8417]

Got these when they came out but returned them for a few reasons. 1) the fit for my ears was not a good one. They kept trying to fall out (I realize fit is very individualized). 2) the sound was not great. 3) also the multi point connect was hit or miss for me. I ended up buying the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC and I love them.

[@larrybrown7455]

I, too, dislike the fit. Shame, as I like sound and Alexa features.

[@Oli.V]

I’m curious about the fit and sound quality, have you used AirPods before? That’s what I’ve had for years and I’m considering switching to these. Do AirPods (the regular ones, not the pros or new gen 3s) for you the same way these do?

[@TheSunshine1189]

I lost my AirPods 3 and looking for a replacement without the 139 price tag. Thanks so much for a through review

[@Red_Bearded_Dad]

I just got these during the recent Prime Days sale. I have to say for $35, you'd be hard pressed to beat these in everything these do. They easily pair to EVERYTHING and the audio is really pretty good actually. I can't stand ear-canal headphones. I don't like my ears being complete sealed up like that. These allow a decent amount of ambient noise to make it through so you can easily hear if someone is trying to get your attention. I love that they have Alexa built in, and I love the app management for pair devices, EQ settings and customizable taps.

[@Oli.V]

I also don’t love the ear-canal headphones. I’m considering picking up a pair of these since my gen 2 AirPods just quit on me. Have you used those before? How did the Amazon ones stack up to those if so?

[@Red_Bearded_Dad]

@@Oli.V Sound quality is the same or better than second gen AirPods. With the addition of an EQ, I would say these are slightly better. Pairing is definitely better and you can select which specific paired device you want to use in the app. Of course, it's Amazon so just return them if you don't like them.

[@doomguynev]

They are 25$ today

[@peteandtessTube]

Very good review. Interesting and informative without unnecessary hype. It would have been good to see you demonstrate how you access music or information using Alexa in the earbud. Do you assign the wake word in Alexa like you do for other Echo devices. Is there a unique word you can assign so you don’t set off other echos around you? Like Alexa what is today’s weather? And every device that hears Alexa starts responding? Anyway Thanks for the review!

[@blueeyedtech1234]

I preordered these and I love them. For the price these are great

[@neoniccortessjrsmith9223]

Looks like u would be blown away with soundpeats air3 deluxe hs in every possible way hah

[@RingZero]

You may want to also explain how to wear these. I followed the instructions in the manual and the steps on Alexa app. The buds do not want to stay in place in my ears. Maybe these are not made for my ears.

[@nickrock23]

They're humongous , maybe these would fit Shrek

[@The812Dad]

I got these on sale for $22.99 compared to the retail price of $49.99 and i got the black edition. I love em. Compared to other earbuds I've had like Samsung Galaxy FE Buds and Pixel Buds A-Series, the Echo Buds 2023 sound better. They are missing Active Noise Cancellation but thats not a big deal to me.

[@FR8Productions]

Only part that confused me in the review. Does the case not have a charging feature away from the cord?

[@doomguynev]

It does not

[@FR8Productions]

@@doomguynev then it’s garbage!

[@pabloduron3737]

This work in mac?

[@3840colt]

How do these compare to the soundpeats Air3? Always enjoy your videos.

[@skateizaac]

Have you compared them

[@SnareMan]

Do they do a better job canceling surrounding noise than the AirPods do? People on the phone always complain about background noise with whatever I happen to be doing while talking on the phone using AirPods. It's almost like the AirPods amplify the background noise. Are these better?

[@RealFaodail]

Which AirPods? The normal AirPods? No, they would be the same, probably worse since they’re not at aloud. AirPod pros? Hell nah. The airbus pros are the best in the market for surround sound cancelling

[@paulbainjr]

I mainly sync them to my tv while the wife is sleeping. Works great for me😊

[@madpanda9883]

How does this compare to the MEE pebble you review recently?

[@dubie-day-shay7937]

Budget all in every way! Great video Keith ✌.

[@sociopathmercenary]

I'm a big guy with little tiny princess ear canals so the in-ear buds have never really worked for me. I picked these up during Prime Day 2024. So far I'm totally happy for $25. I don't bump around listening to music with earbuds. I work from home and I can just turn on the stereo for that. These are going to be used for watching TV when my wife goes to bed early.

[@a.d.jackson6229]

These buds by the breakdown are trash. Seems like an Amazon quick grab. I appreciate this heads up.

[@gregoryburkhead7813]

Great video .. taking a phone call can u hear the people as if they was in the room .. I dont like in ear buds .. my samsung live . People can hear me good but i hear them low .. so my skullcandy I can hear them if there like in the sne room .. but they hear me low lol

[@nickrock23]

These things are giant like th size of a cherry. I never imagined anyone's ear could be this large. They don't even fit in slightly. I'm a normal sized adult male. Bizarre

[@sociopathmercenary]

A cherry? Seriously? Are you a normal sized oompa loompa?

[@nickrock23]

@@sociopathmercenary I'm 5'10 dopey, that's me in my profile picture. I guess people in general have really big ear canals. I never noticed until Amazon produced these cherry bombs

[@sethterwilliger9434]

Didn’t gamesky have a video awhile ago saying he wasn’t going to be making videos anymore

[@MPFsportsadventure]

I'm alexa user and I like all the functionality but the quality of the sound quality is also important for me aprt from that I was expecting a huge improvement from the Echo buds 2 😮

[@United_Kangaroo1992]

Coming from someone who tried and witnessed the failing of the health trackers: i dont trust something as simple as an earbud that requires an app

[@Oli.V]

Honestly a very valid concern, I’m curious about the complications of that as well.

[@TheTechMonkey2701]

Not to bug you in case you keep getting asked this…. I was just wondering though if you are going to review the Shokz open fit that just for released?

[@dbozgt]

come on amazon these ear buds with no noise canceling not worth to me for the price.

[@madmann6723]

ANC on semiopen earbuds isn't really a thing.

[@Garythefireman66]

IPX2? Pass, even on sale 😂

[@Tootfarangi]

*it definitely isn't worth $35.* right now, you can buy a Soundcore Life P3i Hybrid with Active Noise Cancelling for $35. It's a way better earbud in all aspects, it's also IPX 5, looks better, and comes with a charging cable. p.s: it's for sure doesn't sound better than apple airpods.

[@Tootfarangi]

@residentzero Life p3i is not an in-ear design buds. you probably confused it with something else.

[@SirCorn65]

They are in ear design

[@ektasix]

You cannot compare in-ears to semi in-ears/open earbuds lmao.

[@bolddennis]

Thanks for another review. I think I pass on these buds, Ipx4 should be a standard these days.

[@Freekxng]

these buds with actual silicone eartips would have been perfect. the sound is great but the fit is just terrible

[@JmasTheKilla215]

I'll pass on these the soundcore p20is are 20$ and have a 8 hour battery and probably sound 10x better

[@neoniccortessjrsmith9223]

Soundcore and soundpeats are superior in what they deliver and offer ,so yeah would agree on that

[@Chungustav]

I think the people in the comments are missing the main feature of these which enables you to control your smart home from outside in the backyard, etc

[@ricoviii1]

No shokz openfit yet????

[@OfficialGamesky]

nope, not yet

[@ricoviii1]

@@OfficialGamesky sounds great but everything else nah limited touch controls no stereo mono mode no multipoint fail

[@noticiasurbanas28]

I don't think they are really worth to buy it.

[@veepeecee8630]

People who complain about having to download the Alexa app to set up these war buds are probably lazy people and not very ambitious in life/ lol it’s not that hard to download a app and setup the buds! Anyways I love these headphones! They are great! I bought them for $35 Amazon Prime day!

[@Oli.V]

Personally I’d prefer not to download an app for storage reasons, my phone is full enough as is. Also it makes it harder to quickly connect to another phone if you wanted to do that. Point is I think there are plenty of reasons to prefer not having an app other than being lazy or somehow “not very ambitious” which I can’t see how that relates to headphones.

[@asan1050]

Gamesky Thanks Much !.......===

[@BrianHartman]

Great review as usual, Keith. :) This is pretty disappointing. It sounds like they went too far with the cost-cutting measures on these. They sound worse, in every way, than the gen 2 earbuds.

[@OfficialGamesky]

Completely agree

[@vaughnreedjr6592]

​@OfficialGamesky still wait on your review soundcore liberty 4 NC😂😂😂😂

[@DeviantMotives]

Great vid

[@Guestwifi5g]

I’m definitely getting this headphones… @gamesky this vid was very helpful I liked that you described how different music genres sound never seen anyone do that thanks

[@Knightridermsn]

No noise cancellation what a rip off I'll stick with my second gen thank you very much

[@arkangelarkangel1302]

Im a give Amazon credit... they knew that their last pair of Echobuds were expensive duds .. they made a cheaper price with a more popular design... and even though their not my preferred style of earbuds atleast they did something cheaper and probably will sell more.

[@BrianHartman]

I'm not sure they'll sell more. They seem like a serious step down from the last version. I'm sure they wanted to lower the price, and thus the cost, but I think they went too far. There are buds you can buy with better specs for the same or even less money.

[@rishabhgupta2982]

Liberty 4 review awaiting

[@OfficialGamesky]

If you mean the 4 NC, that one is coming tomorrow

[@walterargumedo1375]

I returned them, they sound terrible

[@ARpirateant]

I’ve had horrible experiences with AirPods. I’ve had the first one and second and two pairs of pros and they have all started breaking around 1 year mark so was fed up and just picked up these buds and I feel they sounds good for their price

[@sherri2843]

Wth? Omg! I HATE thosw type of earbuds. They feel too hard in my ears!!!

[@BePositive-lk4ln]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@Tailsnpaws]

This is a joke. I returned them. They are terrible compared to the Apple AirPods 3 IMHO as well as many others who have them.

[@ozrodmd]

These are less useful than the warm stool that gets on your hand when you wipe your bun. Utter trash. Mine never connect to paired devices. Any of the Tozo's they sell are better than these. I owned 2 of the older ones which I loved and traded one in to get these because the batteries were not lasting. I wish I hadn't.

[@RoyPowell-b4x]

Waaaaay exceeded my expectations for the price. But no way do they sound better than Apple AirPods IMO.

[@dabrownconservative7843]

These hurt my ears

[@akulinamackenzie4492]

[@ricoviii1]

First 🥇

[@jbruggs27]

When the channel started, I used to trust this guy. The channel has transformed into what seems like paid advertising and he has changed his taste to “audiophile” in order to match other channels. This search for flat tuning by KZbinrs who just need something to talk about is why AirPods have no bass. Unsubscribe.

[@mjdalicandro]

"battery life is just okay" "these do not sound as good as first and second gen" "if you listen to rock or metal I'd give these guys a 6" "my overall rating on these is gonna be a 7" "it even lacks a charging cable in the box which is kind of frustrating" "at $50 dollars there's just some much better options" If you watched this video and it seems like a paid advertisement, you need to reevaluate you're views on paid advertisements.

[@neoniccortessjrsmith9223]

How the hell u would say that? This dude makes perfect review without water and repeating same words for million times in a row ,basically he tells u everything u need to know about them ,now even rating system to make it simpler ,no idea where the hell u find this adver part 😂
