Echo Buds are compatible with iOS and Android. They also support access to Siri and Google Assistant and are available in black or white. Each ear bud has three microphones to help you hear everything clearly.
Once you purchase your Echo Buds, you will need to activate them by completing the registration in the Alexa app (via a smartphone with Android 6.0+ or iOS 12 or higher).
Echo Buds are sweat-resistant and come with four different sizes of ear tips and two sizes of wing tips for a secure and comfortable fit. To find the best fit, test out the different ear tip sizes included with your Echo Buds (you may need a different ear tip size for each ear). Use the Amazon smile logo to orient the ear bud. Next, turn the ear bud so the smile logo is right-side up, place the ear bud in your ear and rotate slightly to get a secure fit.
To test the fit, open the Alexa app and locate the Echo Buds card on the home screen, tap the settings icon on the card and select “Ear Tip Fit Test.”
