Taken from a review, the requirements are a bit insane when you review them:

#1, to activate and be able to use these buds you HAVE TO download the Alexa app. Great, another app I will never use cluttering up my phone so that I can have the *privilege* of using the device I freaking own, this is already starting off badly...

#2, While setting up these buds the Alexa app *REQUIRES* that the buds be allowed to record your conversations and things happening in the world around you, and upload that to Amazon. This is downright CREEPY considering I bought these literally just to listen to some tunes while I mow the lawn. Did I mention that between the 2 buds, there are SIX microphones that will be recording you?

#3, To double down on the creep-factor, Amazon *requires* that the buds be able to record your location. Again, I just want to listen to some tunes on my lawn mower, I won't be using these for turn-by-turn directions or something in my car, so why am I *REQUIRED* to constantly report my every move to the Amazon mothership?

#4, Because the above aren't creepy enough, Amazon also requires that the buds be able to upload the names & phone numbers of ALL your phone contacts to our Amazon overlords. Can I again mention how insane it is that my friends and family's names and phone numbers must be handed over to Amazon in order for me to listen to trashy Miley Cyrus songs while I mow my lawn? Come on, this is ridiculous.

#5, If any of the above creep you out during setup, and you click 'Deny' on the permission, the Alexa app boots you back to the opening screen and disconnects your earbuds till you give in to Daddy Amazon's will.

I have Gen 1 and when they work, they work well.

One thing I absolutely HATE (and hope they fixed) is that if you use the buds with the wingtip and try to charge them in the case, there is some sort of fitment issue so that the buds do not make proper contact with the charging port sometimes. This means that you have a very large chance of the buds somehow not being charged by the case. On the other hand, it appears that the case keeps attempting to charge the buds improperly, thus draining the case, too.

It's frankly a ridiculous design because it requires the user to constantly have to remove the wingtips in order to guarantee proper charging of the case and the buds. Where are we supposed to put the wingtips during charging and not lose them?

I had my first pair of the first gen replaced under warranty very easily because one of the buds could not hold a charge. So at least that process was easy.

I don't think I would buy any new version of the Buds until this issue is rectified.

I bought these during the $1.98 app deal: https://www.amazon.com/OnePlus-Bu...YT25X?th=1 and would happily pay $50 for them if I lost it. They pair easily, work well, but don't have active noise cancelling.

Hey I have a Echo Dot 2nd gen to burn for $5 TIV plus 25% off. Is it worth it at $35? I just ordered a Galaxy Buds 2 :\

I'm happy with these Buds. Good sound, Alexa built in. A bit larger than most but fit is good.

Also wondering if it's worth an upgrade. I have gen 1 and I do like them but they are a bit heavy and after a lengthy meeting hurt my ears. Wonder if the fit on these is better…

I got these when they first came out (another deal) and love them. One of the mics was causing a feed back issue after 7 months of use, and Amazon replaced them with a new set. I would recommend these, they sound great.

Not sure why I'd want earbuds that connect to my Alexa devices and pay more than other comparable ear buds without that function. Is there something I'm missing?

No, they suck, I just got some via Woot last month and regret it. The cheap Dudios ones are better than these. My main earbuds are Beats Pro and the difference between them is night and day. These are harder to pair, have subpar sound, and constantly break up, they're almost unusable for talking on the phone.

How is the mic call quality? I have my $2 pair sitting in a drawer and haven't even opened them.
