Our Verdict
AUKEY Latitude Wireless
Anker SoundBuds Curve Wireless
The AUKEY Latitude are better mixed-usage headphones than the Anker SoundBuds Curve 2017. The AUKEY have great isolation performance, are a good option for commuting, have an excellent wireless range, and can connect to two devices simultaneously. On the other hand, the Anker are noticeably more comfortable and are more stable for sports due to their ear-hook design. Athletes might prefer the Anker, as they also have overemphasized bass.
