Embodiments of the invention provide an echo eliminating method, device and system. The method comprises steps of acquiring near-end input signals and far-end input signals; filtering the near-end input signals corresponding to all sub-bands according to the far-end input signals corresponding to all sub-bands, and generating residual signals corresponding to all sub-bands; combining the residualsignals corresponding to all sub-bands, performing frequency-to-time conversion on the combined residual signal, so as to acquire a near-end input signal with echo eliminated, wherein when the near-end input signals and the far-end input signals are processed, association of the near-end input signals and the far-end input signals corresponding to all sub-bands is detected according to a set period, when it is determined that sequence numbers of sub-bands with highest association of the near-end input signals and far-end input signals in all the sub-bands are less than K in N consecutive periods, near-end sub-band signals corresponding to sub-band K to sub-band M-1 are stopped filtering, wherein K is less than or equal to M-1.
