The Amazon Big Spring Sale comes to an end at midnight, but there are still some bargains to be grabbed. One brilliant deal is on Amazon's latest Echo Buds – discounted to $54.99 – which is a massive saving of 61% off the regular price of $139.99.
For Amazon deal hunters in the UK, the price has also dropped, and the Echo Buds have a generous discount of 65%, taking them down to just £44.99.
This is the lowest price we have seen this year on Amazon's own brand of in-ear headphones, that come with all the sound quality and smart features you'd expect in the best cycling headphones.
Similar to Apple Airpods, the Echo Buds have dynamic audio and active noise cancellation, so for cycling the 'Passthrough Mode' allows you to hear the world around you – which is an important requirement if you're a commuter riding in busy traffic. They also have an IPX4 water resistance rating, and are sweat and dust resistant, so you can listen comfortably in more conditions.
