What a let down!
Had high hopes for these earbuds but Amazon wants too much from me to use their earbuds. In order to set these up you have to load the Alexa app on your device, that's a little odd, but OK. Then when you try and setup the buds you have to enable the location tracking on your phone, permanently and allow Alexa to listen and record all the audio on your phone, not just when you use the earbuds. Nope, hard pass. There is no reason to give a company access to 100% of your conversations and where you go, just to use earbuds. It's too bad, the fit seemed like they might actually work well, but I got no sound out of them and they refused to work when I refused location tracking.
