The 7 Best Wireless Earbuds For Android - Summer 2021 Reviews

The Samsung Galaxy Buds+ are the best earbuds for Android with a wireless design that we've tested. These truly wireless in-ears have a compact, comfortable fit and do a great job of staying in place, so they shouldn't fall out even during intense workout sessions. Their Galaxy Wearable app also allows you to remap some of their controls or switch between six different EQ presets.

These in-ears feel quite sturdily built and supply over 13 hours of continuous playback time on a single charge, which should be more than enough for a full day of use. Their sturdy charging case supplies roughly one extra charge, and they have a standby mode that helps conserve power when they're not in use. Out-of-the-box, they have a very well-balanced sound profile, which makes them a good fit for a variety of musical genres.

Unfortunately, it's easy to make an accidental input on their touch-sensitive control scheme, and it can be hard to use if you live in a colder climate and need to wear gloves. They also do a terrible job of filtering out the low rumble of bus and plane engines, which could be annoying during your commute. Otherwise, their compact, sturdy built, long battery life, and well-balanced sound profile help make them some of the best true wireless earbuds that we've tested.

The best wireless travel earbuds for Android that we've tested are the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. These premium truly wireless earbuds have a highly effective ANC system that allows them to filter out ambient noise to an impressive degree, including the low rumble of bus and plane engines as well as the chatter of fellow commuters. You can also use their companion app to adjust the potency of their ANC system in greater detail.

These earbuds feel very well-made, with a dense, high-grade plastic construction that's rated IPX4 for water resistance, though we don't currently test for that. Their stability fins also help keep them in place, even during intense workout sessions. They also have a well-balanced sound profile that should suit a wide variety of audio content. Their integrated mic does an amazing job of isolating your voice from loud background noise, which is good if you want to make a call on your commute. Their latency on Android devices is also low enough to watch movies or videos without significant disruption, though apps and devices compensate differently for this.

Unfortunately, these in-ears lack any sort of sound customization features like an EQ or audio presets, which is somewhat annoying for earphones at this price point. They also stick quite a ways out from your ear and could get in the way if you're wearing a hat. Otherwise, their great noise isolation capability and sturdy construction make them a great fit for commuting.

The best wireless sports earbuds for Android are the Bose Sport Earbuds. These earbuds are impressively well-built, with a dense plastic construction that's rated IPX4 for water resistance, though we don't currently test for this. They also have a relatively shallow fit that's comfortable enough to wear for extended periods of time and do an amazing job of staying in place in your ears, even during really intense workouts.

These earbuds don't block out that much noise, which could be a benefit if you plan on wearing them while running outside and want to stay aware of your surroundings. They have a well-balanced sound profile too, so they should suit whatever kind of audio content you enjoy listening to while working out, whether that be audiobooks or pop music. You can also use their companion app to enable their "In-ear Detection" feature, which automatically pauses your music whenever you remove the right bud.

Unfortunately, the companion app doesn't have any sound customization features, like a graphic EQ or even EQ presets. Their continuous battery life of under four-and-a-half hours also requires you to put them back in their case to charge fairly often, though battery consumption can vary with real-world usage habits. Otherwise, their great build quality and amazingly stable fit also help make them some of the best headphones for running that we've tested.

The Anker Soundcore Life Dot 2 Truly Wireless are the best budget wireless earbuds for Android that we've tested. These comfortable headphones have just under 100 hours of total battery life. They have over seven hours of continuous playback time and roughly 12.5 additional charges in their carrying case.

They have a reasonably well-balanced sound profile that has a bit of extra bass that adds thump, rumble, and boom to your mixes. They're also well-built, have a stable fit, and are rated IPX5 for water resistance, although we don't currently test for it. Although they don't have active noise cancelling, they can passively block out a good amount of background noise like office chatter.

Unfortunately, they don't have any sound customization features like an EQ or presets. They also have high latency on Android devices, and they may not be suitable for streaming videos. That said, some apps and devices compensate for latency differently, so your real-life results may vary. Still, if you're looking for more affordable wireless earbuds, they're a solid choice.
