Some cool true wireless headphones are reviewed here by cNet for the offing.
I would not spend $228 on a pair of ear buds I might lose, break, or drop into a footing hole, but if you can—or want something deluxe for non-work activity like this awesome griddle—this piece is a good breakdown of what’s out there.
Two highlights from the entire cNet piece:
The [water resistant] Elite 65t ($170) and slightly enhanced Elite Active 65t ($190) are our current top picks in the true wireless category because the sound quality is better than AirPods, they offer just as good or even better quality performance for making phone calls and they fit a lot of ears securely.
If you’re someone whose ears are a good match — and fit — for the AirPods, Apple’s true wireless earphones do have some small performance advantages, particularly when it comes to battery life and making calls. But the [water resistant] Liberty Air ear buds sound as good, if not better, than AirPods, and I find they fit my ears better. In short, as long as you’re OK with a noise-isolating design, the Anker Liberty Airs are an excellent AirPod alternative that happens to cost half the price.
