A new generation of Amazon’s Echo Buds true wireless earbuds might be coming soon, and they could have wireless charging. The new Echo Buds and their wireless charging capability are mentioned right in the title of Federal Communications Commission filings for an unannounced Anker wireless charging pad: “Anker Innovations PowerWave Pad for Amazon Echo Buds (2nd Gen with Wireless Charging).”
A diagram of the charging pad from the filings also includes a mention of the second-gen Echo Buds and that they’ll have wireless charging. You can see that on the right side of the image below.
There aren’t a lot of other details about these apparent second-generation Echo Buds we can find in Anker’s FCC filings, though. And the filings aren’t necessarily a guarantee that a product will be released imminently. All they mean is that this Anker charging pad has been authorized by the FCC for sale in the US.
Amazon’s first-generation Echo Buds were first announced in September 2019, and included supports for the Alexa voice assistant (of course) and Bose Active Noise Cancellation. They last 5 hours per charge, while the charging case can provide a total of 20 hours of runtime. We’d imagine that those figures might get a slight uptick with the second-generation offering.
The original Amazon Echo Buds debuted at $129.99, and have been available for as low as $89.99. However, the Echo Buds are currently selling with not much of a discount at $123.49.
