The 5 Best Wireless Earbuds For Android - Fall 2019
Reviews

The best earbuds for Android that we’ve tested so far are the Samsung Galaxy Buds. They’re well-built, comfortable truly wireless earbuds that are super portable. They come with a great hard charging case that’s compact enough to slip into your pockets, so your headphones keep charging while you’re on-the-go. They perform quite well overall and are among the best truly wireless earbuds we’ve reviewed so far.

These headphones have a 7.5-hour battery life, which is rather impressive for truly wireless headphones. They have great audio reproduction out-of-the-box, but if you find they’re lacking bass, you can boost their bass with the Samsung Wearable app. The app also provides a couple of other EQ presets and lets you map their touch-sensitive controls to different commands.

Unfortunately, they also don’t have any onboard storage like the Samsung Gear IconX, but their battery lasts a lot longer and you can charge them wirelessly. However, they don’t support aptX, which is a bit disappointing for wireless earbuds designed for use with Android. The AKG N200 have less wireless latency and also support aptX with lower latency, but their more traditional wireless design and lack of customizability make the Samsung a more feature-packed choice.

The best travel earbuds for Android that we’ve tested so far are the Jabra Elite Active 65t. They’re very well-built truly wireless earbuds that can isolate a lot of noise passively, which makes them a very good choice if you’re looking to bring a touch of peace and quiet to your daily commute.

These earbuds have a fairly well-balanced sound profile that lends itself well to a wide variety of genres and can also be customized with the Jabra Sound+, so whether you like to listen to classical or dubstep, they have you covered. Their 5-hour battery life might not last you a full international flight, but they’ll start recharging as soon as you place them back in your case, so if you take breaks every now and then, they can last you all day.  

Unfortunately, these earbuds have a fairly bulky earbud design that some find a bit fatiguing to wear over time. It helps isolate noise, but those with small ears tend to find these earbuds rather uncomfortable. The Anker SoundCore Liberty Air isolate just as much noise but have a more comfortable in-ear design that some may prefer. They’re not customizable, though, so those who like to be able to adjust their earbuds with their phone will prefer the additional features provided by the Jabra Elite Active 65t.

The best cheap wireless earbuds for Android that we’ve tested so far are the Anker SoundBuds Curve. They have a stable yet comfortable ear-hook design and come with multiple earbud tip options to help you find the perfect fit. They also support the aptX codec for better latency performance with certain Android devices and even come with a nice hard carrying case, which is quite impressive considering their low price point.

These wireless earbuds have great thumping bass that delivers a solid punch without totally overwhelming vocals and lead instruments. They’re versatile for a decent range of music genres and their comfortable fit, combined with their good 13-hour battery life, ensures you’ll be able to keep listening all day.

Unfortunately, they don’t isolate much noise. They’re also not the best-built headphones we’ve tested, but that shouldn’t come at too much of a surprise considering how little they cost. Overall, their satisfying bass-rich sound and comfortable design make them very easy to recommend.
