Need a new set of headphones? Wireless earbuds are a top pick thanks to their convenience, but often come with a hefty price tag to match. Amazon’s own Echo Buds truly wireless earbuds are a more affordable option, while still offering decent sound.
Black Friday 2024 is here, and we’re busy covering the best deals across the web. Whether you’re looking for a new phone, laptop, or stick vac, we’ll be highlighting the biggest savings around.

For Black Friday, Amazon is heavily discounting its home-grown wireless buds. You can get the 2nd Gen Amazon Echo Buds for $25 – that’s a saving of 50% on the $50 RRP. Over on Amazon UK, they’re also reduced, although not quite as much. You can nab them for £30 instead of £55 – a still excellent 45% saving.
We gave the first-gen buds four stars out of five in our review. But the newer, second-gen edition of the buds are even better. Sitting at an RRP of $50/£110, the second-gen Echo Buds are already a steal compared to Apple’s AirPods, Samsung’s Galaxy Buds, or Google’s Pixel Buds. They are certainly among the best wireless headphones around, and now they’re even more of a bargain in the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale event.
The second-gen Echo Buds offer both passive (thanks to the in-ear tips) and active noise cancellation. They’re lightweight and sweat-resistant, so they’re perfect to take on the go. You can take Alexa with you, too, since the smart voice assistant comes packed in the earbuds. Amazon reckons the battery will last for 5 hours, with an extra 10 hours from the charging case. There’s also fast charging thrown in, with 2 hours of listening time after just 15 minutes of juice.
