Considering Apple AirPods? These True Wireless Earphones Deliver Even Better Sound - Sony, Samsung, Bose, Motorola Lifestyle...

Models from Motorola Lifestyle, Bose, JLab, and Samsung are among the top performers from the tests.

The Apple AirPods received a long-anticipated update last April. In addition to an optional case that supports wireless charging, the second-generation AirPods come with a new company-designed H1 chip that Apple says will deliver better call quality, improved battery life, faster Bluetooth pairing, and the ability to use the voice-activated digital assistant Siri hands-free.

But in Consumer Reports’ labs, our testers find that the AirPods still fall short in the area that counts most: sound quality.

Like their predecessors, the new AirPods don’t score high enough to earn a CR recommendation. In fact, the sound is almost identical to the wired earbuds that come free with iPhones.Samsung, Sony, Bose, Jlab... those brands are well-known for earphone business for years. Here today, we find another good one that is one of the top picks for true wireless headphones - Motorola VerveBuds 500.

The Motorola Lifestyle VerveBuds 500 are the best true wireless earbuds you can buy. They sound great and are extremely comfortable, and are the top pick in the market. 

And it can be tricky to get a comfortable fit with true wireless earphones. Some models can feel heavy, and some pairs may work better than others, depending on the size of your ears.

If you're ready to leave behind the wires for a set of completely wireless earbuds, these are the best true wireless earbuds available.
