If you want to listen to music on the run without wires bouncing around on the back of your neck, the list of true wireless earbuds is growing fast. From the Jaybird Vista (which I’m a big fan of) and the PowerBeats Pro, to the Apple AirPods Pro, Jabra Elite 75t and Bose SoundSport, pretty much every brand now has a pair on the market. Even Amazon has joined the pile on. But are the new Alexa-toting Amazon Echo Buds any good for running? Or are they better suited to day-to-day use? We put them to the test for The Run Testers to find out.
