The 5 Best Wireless Earbuds For Android - Spring 2022 Reviews

The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Truly Wireless are the best earbuds for Android that we've tested with a wireless design. These buds have a powerful active noise cancelling (ANC) system to help block out background noise around you. Their companion app, available on Android, also offers several different ANC modes to help you cut down your desired amount of background sound.

These well-built buds have a very neutral sound profile that's well-suited for a variety of audio content. If you prefer a different sound, their app also has a graphic EQ plus presets so that you can adjust them to your tastes. They have over seven hours of continuous playback time, and although their carrying case supplies an additional two charges if you need it, they have a standby mode to conserve battery life when you're not using them. Thanks to their low latency on Android devices, you can stream video without worrying about lip-syncing issues.

Unfortunately, they have a bulky design that sticks out of your ear a bit, and they can get caught on hats or collars. Their control scheme doesn't offer track skipping either, and it may be annoying if you want to change the track as you'll need to do so from your device. If you're an Android user who wants earbuds with versatile performance and great noise cancelling, they're the best earbuds for Android users we've tested.

If you're a Samsung user, the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Truly Wireless are the best wireless earbuds for these devices that we've tested. They support Scalable, the manufacturer's proprietary codec for high-quality audio. They also have a 'Game Mode' advertised to lower their latency on Samsung devices.

Out of the box, their sound profile is pretty neutral, making them versatile enough for most audio content. If you prefer a different sound, their companion app includes EQ presets so you can customize these earbuds to suit your tastes. These buds also have an ANC system that does a great overall job blocking background noise. They have a comfortable fit, are well-built, and are certified IPX2 for water resistance.

Their integrated mic struggles to separate your voice from moderate ambient noise, which can be frustrating if you're taking a call from a busy street. Their continuous battery life of 4.7 hours also won't last you through your 9-5 workday without pausing to recharge them up again. Luckily, their carrying case holds roughly three additional charges, which is handy in a pinch.

The Jaybird Vista 2 Truly Wireless are the best wireless sports earbuds for Android that we've tested. They have a very stable fit, so they shouldn't fall out of your ears during intense physical activity. The buds are also certified IP68 for dust and water resistance, while their carrying case is certified IP54, which is great if you're using them outdoors.

They have a comfortable and breathable fit, and their combination of touch and physical controls are easy to use. You can adjust their well-balanced sound profile to suit your tastes using the parametric EQ and presets in their companion app. If you like to run outdoors, the app offers handy features like SurroundSense, which lets you hear your surroundings, as well as wind filtering to help reduce wind noise. The buds have over five hours of continuous battery life, and their carrying case supplies an extra two charges.

Unfortunately, even though they have ANC, they offer a sub-par overall noise isolation performance. We also noticed that we could hear more white noise when using the ANC in a quiet environment. Some users may prefer to hear more ambient noise to stay aware of their surroundings when running outdoors.

The best budget wireless earbuds for Android that we've tested are the Anker Soundcore Life Dot 2 Truly Wireless. These earbuds come with a case that holds about 12.5 extra charges, which gives them a very long continuous battery life of more than 100 hours. They last for about seven hours of continuous use off of a single charge, meaning they can last through a flight or commute.

Aside from their total battery life, they have a straightforward design without many extra features. They have a good build quality and a decently comfortable fit. There are a few different sizes of ear tips and stability fins included, and once you get a good fit, they should stay in place during workouts. Their bass-rich sound profile adds extra rumble, punch, and boom to audio, which fans of genres like EDM and hip-hop may appreciate.

Unfortunately, their latency with Android devices is high, so they aren't ideal for watching videos on your phone. They don't have an ANC feature and don't do a good job of blocking out ambient sound like rumbling bus and plane engines. They do a good job of reducing higher-pitched sounds like background chatter or a humming computer fan, so they can help isolate you from distractions at the office. Overall, if you're looking for affordable earbuds, these are worth considering.

If you're looking for cheaper wireless earbuds, you may prefer the JLab Audio GO Air POP True Wireless. Their case holds fewer extra charges, so they have a shorter total battery life than the Anker Soundcore Life Dot 2 Truly Wireless, but they're cheaper and still offer solid overall performance. Using their flattest EQ preset, 'JLab Signature', they have a bass-rich sound profile that adds extra rumble, punch, and boom to your audio. You can also choose from two other EQ presets using the onboard controls. They're decently comfortable, well-built, and come in a few different colors to suit your style. While their case only holds three additional charges, they have a long continuous battery life of about nine hours. Unfortunately, their latency with Android devices is high, so you may have audio syncing issues if you use them to watch a video on your phone.

Go for the Anker if you need longer total battery life, but consider the JLab instead if you want a cheaper option that doesn't sacrifice too much on performance.
