They come with Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant built-in – and it works just like an Echo speaker.

With the new discount, you’re saving a very impressive £60.

That means the headphones are half price, which is the lowest mark-up we’ve seen since launch.

Amazon launched the Echo Buds back in October 2019.

They’re a pair of wireless earbuds with no stem or hook.

Amazon says they deliver “crisp and dynamic audio”, and use Bose tech to limit background noise.

They’ve also got built-in hands-free Alexa, letting you stream music, play audiobooks, make calls and more.

You can also connect to other assistants like Apple’s Siri or the Google Assistant, if you’ve got a supported device.

They come with a handy charging case, and support hands-free Amazon Alexa voice control

Battery life is around five hours for music playback.

A 15-minute charge will give you two hours of usage, and the charging case offers up 20 hours of listening.

In the box you’ll find multiple ear tips for the best fit.

And Amazon says the headphones are sweat-resistant – perfect for exercise.
