Our Verdict

XFYRO xS2 Truly Wireless

Altec Lansing True Evo

The XFYRO xS2 Truly Wireless are better truly wireless headphones than the Altec Lansing True Evo. The XFYRO are a bit more versatile thanks to their better isolation performance, which can be useful while commuting and at the office. The XFYRO also have a better wireless range and, for about the same battery life, take less time to charge. On the other hand, the Altec feel better-built, and some may prefer a design with stability fins for sports.
