On the other hand, when it comes to noise canceling, I would like to raise the war on AirPods Pro.Even if the size of the ear chip is wrong, AirPods Pro dramatically relieves the background noise compared to Echo Bud.

On the other hand, for the duration of the battery, Echo Buds is better (5 hours with noise canceling, 4 hours is AirPods Pro).Charging is also speedy, and can be used for 2 hours by charging for 15 minutes.

In general, earphones other than Apple are more compatible with Android smartphones than iPhone.Echo Buds supports Siri and Google Assistant in addition to Alexa, but it was still no exception.In this test, I tried using it in combination with "Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5g", but it can be said that it is perfect.The pairing with "Galaxy Watch", which I personally use, was easy.

If you use Alexa on a regular basis, the biggest attraction of Echo Buds will be easier to instruct Alexa.My personal favorite is that you can handle the timer set, check the weather before running, check the schedule, etc. from Echo Buds.

Of course, the value of usage depends on how much you like Alexa.However, before turning off this voice recognition function, it is definitely worth trying.

At the time of this trial, the productivity was dramatically improved when Echo Buds was always in the ears.You can tell me that you have time to get up and stretch from your work desk, get taught the latest news, teach you the probability of precipitation.Echo buds can do all of these without pulling out your smartphone from your pocket.

Frankly, this experience is the most "usable" of the extended reality (AR) I've tried so far.Especially when you feel that you can listen to the surrounding sounds as they are.

If you turn on the youth -through function, what you are listening to at that time, and at the same time, the surrounding sounds will be sent to your ears.As everything sounds natural, no one is heard, the voice assistant tells the weather at the ear and puts the schedule on the schedule.

When I do that, I feel like I have come to the future world.If you don't want Amazon to listen, just turn off the microphone with the "Alexa" app.In any case, there is no additional charge using Alexa with Echo Buds.

Few people may have high expectations for the "sound" of this new Echo Buds.It is no surprise that this function is packed at the price of $ 120 (12,980 yen on February 24 and 2,500 yen off reservations).But that's not the case.

Certainly, Echo Buds, and any other high -end earphones, can not make a clear sound comparable to Samsung's "Galaxy Buds Pro" (WIRED "US version of 9/10 points).But it is not significantly inferior.
