Amazon has started its second Prime Day sale of the year with discounts on everything and anything from Fire TV Sticks and LEGO to Fire tablets and household essentials. The event runs until 11.59pm on Wednesday, October 9 so there's not long to take advantage of the price cuts.
One of the best deals I've spotted so far is on the Amazon Echo Buds, which usually cost £129.99 but have been discounted to only £44.99. That's a huge £85 discount.
I've tried the Echo Buds before and they're really nifty little earbuds with Alexa built in, solid noise cancelling and water resistance.
Why you should buy the Amazon Echo Buds
If you have Alexa smart speakers set up at home, it makes a lot of sense to buy the Amazon Echo Buds. Just like your Echo smart speaker, you can use voice commands to control the music, you can ask for answers to your random questions and control your other smart home tech like your lights or coffee machine.
The Echo Buds are not only compatible with Alexa, but also support access to Apple's Siri and the Google Assistant.
What to Read Next
These sleek little noise-cancelling earphones come in black or white and have a sealed in-ear design. Alongside the dynamic audio and noise cancellation, that makes the listening experience as crisp as possible.
Each earbud has three microphones so Alexa always hears you clearly, and you can make or take calls using them too. They also have touch controls, some of which are customisable in the Alexa app.
You'll get five hours of music per charge, with up to 15 hours of listening possible with the charging case. Most impressive is that the Echo Buds can regain up to two hours of playback time if you're only able to charge the device for 15 minutes on the go.
To help you find the right fit, there are four sizes of ear tips and two sizes of wing tips. these are comfortable and secure with water resistance so they'll be a good choice for workouts and runs.
Is this a good deal?
Yes! An £85 discount on the Echo Buds is a fantastic deal — £44.99 is 65% off the launch price of £129.99. The cheapest we have ever seen them sell for is £34.99 during a time-limited flash sale, so this deal pricing still makes them very affordable.
