By Ali Kessler, Rachel Rothman and Olivia LipskiUpdated: Jan 25, 2023 Save Article Courtesy Photo We've been independently researching and testing products for over 120 years. If you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. Learn more about our review process. We updated this article in January 2023 to add more information about each featured product. To our original top-rated products, selected by the Good Housekeeping Institute, we updated picks to reflect the most recent and improved models. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you’re an iPhone user, there’s no denying that AirPods are an easy and convenient way to quickly steam music or hop on a phone call while on the go, but they’re not always the cheapest or most comfortable choice. Whether you’re looking for wireless earbuds with a bit more cushioning or you’ve made the switch to Android, our pros have pulled together the best AirPod alternatives on the market. While some of these earbuds may feature ANC (active noise cancellation) to block out loud noises, others are better suited for athletic activity. We even feature cheap AirPod alternatives if your budget is tight, as well as options for audiophiles seeking exceptional sound quality. At the Good Housekeeping Institute, our engineers and analysts test audio equipment ranging from soundbars to outdoor speakers and smart speakers. To assess the best wireless earbuds, we’ve evaluated dozens of pairs over the years for fit and comfort, ease of use and pairing, audio performance, noise-canceling capabilities, portability and more. The picks below include our favorite AirPods alternatives in 2023, whether you’re looking for crystal clear sound, impressive noise canceling or a pair you can rely on during heavy sweat sessions at the gym.

Sleeker and more compact than the previous model and now boasting an IPX4 water-resistance rating, the higher price tag is worth every penny. The silicone ear-tips provide a great fit, with tips ranging from extra small to large, making these wireless earbuds suitable for any activity level. Our tech experts touted the fantastic sound quality and battery life. In our tests, they lasted a whole workday on a single charge. And they loved the cool quick charge feature that can give up to an hour of playback with just five minutes of charging. There is a built-in mic for hands-free calls and smart features like wearing detection, adaptive sound control that adjusts to your environment and a speak-to-chat feature that automatically reduces your music's volume during a conversation. Though the touch controls take a bit of getting used to, these earbuds come enabled with Alexa voice control and there's robust functionality within the app itself.

While we haven’t evaluated this model in the Lab yet, we can’t wait to test the earbud’s built-in Tile finding technology that should help you locate your earbuds if they slip out of your ears. Though we wish the single-charge battery life was longer than 3.5 hours, we like that you’ll get up to 12 hours with the case. Also included with the small, compact case are three earbud tips so you can ensure you’re getting the right fit.

These combine impressive audio quality and noise isolation capabilities with good battery life. If you want true noise-canceling capabilities and have a few extra pennies to spare, we also recommend the EarFun Air Pro 2 model. Just know that whichever pair you choose, you won't suffer from other common limitations of inexpensive sets like poor connectivity. In our tests, we were able to get the claimed 7 hours of battery life plus a full day extra with the charging case at mid-level volume. We liked that you could charge via USB-C or wirelessly, something often reserved for more expensive headphones. You can effortlessly control the volume, music or answer calls with intuitive taps for complete autonomy. Bonus: These are rated IPX7 indicating that they are quite water- and sweat-resistant, so go ahead and get your workout on.

These totally wireless earphones by Beats are powered by the Apple H1 headphone chip, adding some of the best technology out there. Enjoy hands-free voice assistance from our friend, Siri, and intuitive touch controls with just a tap. These earbuds come with four sizes of ear tips to get your perfect fit and hook around the ear, so you won't lose them easily. But best of all, they come with a fantastic battery life (9 hours of playback time and more than 24 hours with the charging case). The IPX4 rating means these are great for tough workouts and even though we categorized these Beats for iPhone users, rest assured that these are also compatible with Android. Win-win. Unfortunately, these don't feature noise-cancellation so if that's a must, consider the Beats Fit Pro Earbuds instead, a Good Housekeeping 2023 Fitness Awards winner. OS supportAndroid/iOSBattery life9 hours (single charge), 24 hours (with charging case)Noise-cancellingNoIP ratingIPX4 5 Best Noise Canceling AirPods Alternative BOSE QUIETCOMFORT EARBUDS II 5 Best Noise Canceling AirPods Alternative BOSE QUIETCOMFORT EARBUDS II Now 29% Off $199 at Amazon$299 at Walmart$299 at dell.com Credit: Bose PROS * Amazing sound quality * 20-minute quick charge feature * Sweat and weather-resistant CONS * More expensive than AirPods * Single-charge battery life could be better Bose claims these earbuds are home to the "world's best noise cancellation," and we may have to agree. In our testing of Bose's first-generation QuietComfort earbuds, all external noise was blocked out due to the impressive active noise-canceling tech, and that was coupled with the expected impressive Bose sound quality. This latest generation continues to feature powerful noise-canceling tech, but it takes it one step further by customizing sound performance to your ear canal. Though the single-charge battery life could be a little better than 6 hours, Bose did improve the total battery life when coupled with the charging case (increasing it from 18 to 24 hours). There's also a handy 20-minute quick charge feature when running low. Our pros love that these second-gen buds have an improved, compact design over their predecessor (they're 30 percent smaller!), and we expect these to be just as comfy and lightweight when we test them in our Lab. The pair comes with three sizes of silicone buds to choose from so you can get a good fit. They also have an IPX4 rating, which means they've been tested to be sweat and weather-resistant. Touch controls are relatively simple: just tap or double-tap for different functions.

Although they come with a hefty price tag, you do get what you pay for. Based on tests of the previous generation, the sound is truly amazing, and this latest model comes with adaptive noise canceling that's meant to effectively adjust the level of noise canceling based on your environment. Sennheiser claims that battery life is 7 hours (+21 with the charging case), and our tests proved that to be true. These earbuds come with an IPX4 rating for sweat resistance, and because they are lightweight, they're quite comfy when working out. We recommend downloading the app first to help with pairing, and then you can use the touch controls on the earbuds for playback, voice assistant capabilities and phone calls. The touch controls will likely take some getting used to, but once you do, you'll be rocking out in no time. The charging case is a bit bulkier than others but stylish nonetheless.

They feature multipoint technology that allows for multi-device pairing, so you can seamlessly switch between your devices (like a phone and computer). Jabra also had a good thing going with the Elite 65t, but with each iteration, the brand manages to improve by adding noise-canceling and better voice-calling performance over time. When tested, these buds produced powerful audio for music and terrific sound quality while on calls thanks to enhanced microphones (two in each bud) plus a voice sensor. During testing, we liked the earbuds' hear-through feature, which proved useful when commuting to the office, and we found the button controls on each earbud super intuitive. On top of fitting securely in the ear and blocking out a lot of external noise, these are easy to use right out of the box, but the accompanying app lets you personalize the sound for a perfect tune each time. And with a long battery life of 8 hours on a single charge or 30 with the charging case, you can go from work to the gym to a quick call with grandma with no issues. These have an IP57 rating, adding even more protection from both dust and water, perfect for poolside tunes.

Each pair comes with three sizes of silicone tips designed to help them stay put, reduce noise and offer a more comfortable fit. In our tests, we were impressed by the sound quality which featured an even tonal sound and powerful bass. The Media & Tech Lab and consumer testers alike found that the earbuds were lightweight and didn't budge through multiple workouts. Unlike other earbuds, the fit was comfortable and secure, though we did find it took some wiggling and getting used to the buds at first. Though we wish battery life was better than 5 hours alone or 15 hours with the charging case, we like how these have touch controls so you can quickly adjust the volume or skip to the next song.

Fully wireless, the Pixel A-Series buds come with hands-free Google Assistant voice controls, real-time translation, wireless charging and an IPX4 rating so they can withstand your sweatiest workouts. In Lab tests, we noticed enhanced sound quality and seamless pairing with Android devices. Battery life could be better; we noted that they lasted about 5 hours of playback time and 2.5 hours of talk time. But, with the case handy you can get up to 24 hours. Unlike the previous Pixel buds, Google did trade off wireless charging for a reduced price. The A-Series does, however, still come with three ear tip sizes and a stabilizer arc to help create a secure fit. If you are an Android user, love to say "Hey, Google," and need a pair of wireless buds, then these are for you. (But don't worry — they work with iOS too!)

Moderately priced around the same as regular AirPods, they also feature wireless charging and active noise cancelation to block out external sounds. Our pros love that they come with an intelligent conversation mode that automatically lowers the volume and turns off ANC when you start speaking to someone — like when you're ordering a coffee. If you have a Samsung smartphone, these buds will allow optimal audio quality, voice assistance and connection stability. But they are compatible with any Android or iOS device. Samsung claims that the battery will last up to an impressive 29 hours with ANC turned off and paired with the cute, compact charging case that will fit easily into your pocket. We also love that these are super water resistant with an IPX7 rating so you can go ahead and run outside in the rain without fretting.

Our testers found the fit was fairly comfortable and secure. They come with four differently sized tips as well as two wings and an ear tip fit test in the app to help ensure the earbud stays put. Though isolation and sound quality aren't quite as impressive as other earbuds, one tester noted that calls were crystal clear. On top of an IPX4 rating, we love that tap controls are intuitive and easy to use and that you can ask Alexa to play music or make a call in the way you would ask Siri. And of course, the Amazon app is a breeze to use, and it's always nice to have all your devices organized in one spot.

Our Lab experts logged over 300 hours of listening time to determine the best picks. We evaluated consumer tester feedback to assess sound quality, comfort and design. Our featured picks are a combination of rigorous category-wide testing and road testing of newer, popular or updated models of the best AirPods alternatives. In our comprehensive headphones test, analysts evaluated wireless earbuds by assessing performance (sound quality, ability to stay in the ear, etc.), durability (resilience of earbuds when in contact with water, dropped, etc.), comfort (portability, weight, size and adjustability), IP rating (sweat- and water- resistance), extra features and, lastly, appearance. Advertisement - Continue Reading Below WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN SHOPPING FOR EARBUDS There are a lot of new, awesome (and some not-so-awesome!) true wireless earbuds out there. High-quality earbuds should have superb sound quality, good noise-isolating or cancellation functionality, long battery life and a strong carrying case with built-in charging. Beyond that, here's what you should consider: ✔️ Pairing: Earbuds should pair and connect seamlessly to your Bluetooth device. Apple users must make sure the earbuds support connecting. Android users can pretty much have the pick of the litter as most support this. ✔️ Noise cancelation: If you frequently hop on conference calls while out and about, then look for ones with superior noise cancellation. Ones that feature ANC (active noise cancellation), are designed to essentially produce a mirror image sound wave in your ear to cancel out external noise. ✔️ Water resistance: If you will be using your new earbuds for working out, sports or activities that will create sweat, it is wise to choose a water-resistant or fully waterproof pair. Look for ones that have a high IP (ingress protection) rating of at least IPX6. The higher the number, the more water-resistant they are. ✔️ Ear tips: This is one of the most important things to consider. Ear tips that are too small, too big or too shallow won’t form a good seal with your ear canal, and you will never get a good sound. You also run the risk of losing them easily. ✔️ Battery life: Most earbud manufacturers will quote a playing time between three and five hours, but it is usually a little less than what they claim. It's also important to take note of the conditions in which the battery life test was performed. If the case is a charger, some manufacturers will quote the battery life as a combination of playing time, plus the charging case battery, so read wisely. ✔️ Controls: More expensive AirPods alternatives will have control buttons or sensors on the earpieces so that you can control volume, skip a track, issue voice commands or take phone calls. Some have apps to augment functionality, and some have voice assistant capabilities, too. ✔️ Charging case: Most, but not all, AirPods alternatives come with a charging case that stores and recharges your wireless earbuds. If this is important to you, look for ones with sturdy cases that can withstand an active lifestyle. WHY TRUST GOOD HOUSEKEEPING?
