Last year Apple introduced the second edition of their widely adopted Airpods, while they might be the most popular on the market they also come with a hefty price range. The Airpods also don’t come with an appeal to everyone for a few reasons, especially given a lot of us use non-apple devices.
Sony, Jaybird, JBL, Samsung and EarFun offer up some competitive options which are well worth your consideration when it comes to making a choice. Below we give you an in-depth review of these leading options which we think are worthy picks.

Galaxy Buds
Released alongside the Samsung Galaxy S10, the Galaxy Buds are the headline accessory for their phone and are actually included free in some variants. Likely built to one up Apple’s Airpods, they do the trick with superior audio quality after acquiring Harman Kardon back in 2016. They also provide customization options in the box, allowing you to swap out different buds and wings to ensure the best fit.
| Just like others in this list, the Galaxy Buds allow for an ambient mode. The buds pick up surrounding noise and amplify through the speakers, this along with many other options can be customized through the companion application. These earbuds will not be the best on the market but for a company that does not specialise with headphones. This is a top effort and something to delve into more, especially if you own a Samsung phone. |
