I’m Flagging This $35 Echo Buds Prime Day Deal Early: Amazon’s Record-Low Price Is Live Now
Amazon’s newest noise-canceling Echo Buds are down to $35 for Prime members — a 71% savings and their lowest price ever.

You don’t have to spend a ton to get a decent pair of active noise-canceling earbuds these days — and especially not with Prime Day deals about to kick off. Amazon’s latest massive sale begins in just a few days, and the online retailer is already offering some excellent savings on its latest active noise-canceling Echo Buds.
Right now, Prime members can grab the wired charging case version of Amazon’s newest Echo Buds with active noise cancellation for just $35 — that’s 71% off the $120 list price. Grab the deal here before prices shift. If you prefer the wireless charging case, it’s available for $10 more here. For more early Prime Day savings, check out our roundup of today’s best deals.
These earbuds boast an impressive set of features now that they’re available for less than $50. They’re equipped with 5.7mm dynamic drivers for solid sound, and support active noise cancellation with a pass-through mode for when you need to be more aware of your surroundings. They also have three microphones per earbud for clear audio during voice calls.

They support multipoint pairing, so you can connect to two devices at once and switch seamlessly between them — ideal for jumping from a work call to music on your phone. They allow you to access Amazon Alexa hands-free, so you can easily cue up songs, adjust the volume or even update your calendar on the fly. They have a 15-hour battery life with the charging case, and they’re IPX4 water resistance rated, so you can use them during workouts.
In his review of Amazon’s second-gen Echo Buds, CNET’s David Carnoy noted they offer “a relatively premium design and are all-around good performers with the added benefit of hands-free Alexa.” He also highlighted their improved noise canceling and compact case design.
