The best true wireless earbuds of 2019 最佳真無線藍牙耳機 by CNET best choice.2019媒體評選最佳真無線藍牙耳機

True wireless headphones are all the rage. Here are the top wire-free models you can buy right now.

In terms of numbers, Apple’s AirPods have dominated the market for true wireless headphones for the last couple of years. But with plenty of new models arriving that deliver better sound and improved performance and battery life, there are now many appealing totally wireless earbuds to choose from — with even more on the way.

We’ve got lists of the best cheap true wireless earbuds and best-sounding true wireless earbuds. This list is, simply, the best true wireless earbuds. Remember that to get optimal performance, the best wireless earbuds tend to need to feel comfortable with an ergonomic design and fit right, with a tight seal. If you can’t get a snug fit with in-ear headphones, you’ll be sadly disappointed and think you got ripped off, which is why I suggest buying from a store with a decent return policy, such as Amazon.

Best AirPod Pro alternatives that cost less Best noise cancelingSony WF-1000XM3 Sarah Tew/CNET

WF-1000XM3

Sony hasn’t been much of a player in the true wireless (AirPod-style) headphone arena, but its new WF-1000XM3 model may change that. While this pair of headphones isn’t cheap, as far as sound quality, they’re the best wireless earbuds at this price, matching and perhaps even exceeding the quality and performance of pricier competitors from Sennheiser, Beats, Master & Dynamic and Bang & Olufsen. It also has a feature that those wireless earbuds don’t have: active noise cancellation technology to reduce ambient noise.

The only drawback is the WF-1000XM3 earbuds aren’t rated as sweatproof or waterproof headphones. That said, I’ve used them for light workouts with a bit of a sweat at the gym without a problem. They use Bluetooth 5.0 with support for AAC but not aptX.

Water-resistant: No (lacks IPX certification). Read our Sony WF-1000XM3 review.

Even if they don’t sound as magical as you’d hope a $249 model would, the AirPods Pro still manage to be a great pair of truly wireless earphones. That’s largely due to their winning design and fit, improved bass performance, effective noise canceling and excellent call quality. Yeah, they’re expensive at $250, but the good news is you’ll use them so much you’ll probably wear the battery down — it does degrade over time and isn’t replaceable — and have to buy a new pair in 18 to 24 months if you don’t lose them first.

Jabra Elite 75t

At first glance, the Elite 75t, which was originally supposed to cost $200 but now sells for $180 (£170 and AU$299), seems more like an evolutionary upgrade from the highly rated Elite 65t. But the updates turn out to be a little more substantial than I first thought. The Elite 75t’s smaller size (the buds and case are 20% smaller than the Elite 65t’s), its boosted battery life and USB-C charging are significant upgrades. And then there are the smaller changes, like the new charging case design with magnets inside it that make it easier to open and close and to keep the buds inside. While the Elite 75t isn’t quite as comfortable to wear as the AirPods Pro and doesn’t have active noise canceling, it does sound better, with clearer overall sound and better bass definition, so long as you get a tight seal.

Water-resistant: Yes (IP55 rating — can withstand heavy sprays of water). Read our Jabra Elite 75t review.$180 AT AMAZON $180 AT BEST BUY Good for runnersJaybird Vista Sarah Tew/CNET

Jaybird got off to a bumpy start in the world of true wireless — that’s “AirPod-style headphones" — when it released its Jaybird Run workout headphones back in October 2017. Updated to the wireless in-ear Jaybird Run XT earlier this year, the Jaybird Run earbuds were well designed but had some small performance issues that held them back from being great. But their wireless successor model, the Jaybird Vista (cue the Windows Vista jokes), includes design, battery life and performance improvements that make it the quality product I’d hoped the Jaybird Run would be.

At $180 (£160, AU$280), this pair of earbuds is a little more expensive than they should be, but they’re among the better true wireless headphones to hit the market in 2019. They’ll appeal to those looking for a more discreet set of totally wireless sports earbuds that offer full waterproofing.

Water-resistant: Yes (IPX7 — fully waterproof). Read the Jaybird Vista review.$179 AT JAYBIRD

Much cheaper AirPods Pro alternativeAnker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Sarah Tew/CNET

If you can’t afford the AirPods Pro, the Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 is a good alternative and are a top model for making calls. Like the AirPods Pro, they do a remarkably good job of muffling ambient noise (callers said they could hear me fine even with a lot of street noise around me). While they don’t have active noise canceling, they sound nearly as good, fit comfortably and their noise-isolating design passively seals out a lot of ambient noise. They only cost $100.

Best under $50EarFun Free Sarah Tew/CNET

What’s most impressive about the EarFun Free is the features: Bluetooth 5.0, both USB-C and wireless charging and fully waterproof (IPX7), according to their specs. Do they sound fantastic? No, but they sound pretty good. They don’t have the clarity of higher-end true wireless earbuds that cost $150 or more, but they do have plump bass and enough detail to avoid sounding dull. They’re also pretty solid for making calls. An excellent value at less than $45.

Water-resistant: Yes (IPX7 rating — fully waterproof). Read CNET first take.$43 AT AMAZON

AirPods on steroidsBeats Powerbeats Pro Sarah Tew/CNET

Yes, the Powerbeats Pro’s jumbo charging case with its built-in battery is a notable drawback. But incorporating all the features that make Apple’s AirPods great while delivering richer sound and better battery life in a design that won’t fall out of your ear is a winning proposition. Just make sure you buy them somewhere that has a good return policy in case you’re in the small minority that has ears that aren’t quite a match for them.

They use Bluetooth 5.0 with support for AAC but not aptX.

Value premium soundAnker Sarah Tew/CNET

Anker is known more for its value headphones, but it’s trying to step into more premium territory with its Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro earbuds, which carry a list price of $150. From a design standpoint, they share some similarities with Sony’s WF-1000XM3, although this model doesn’t have active noise-cancellation. Anker says they have large 11mm drivers combined with Knowles Balanced Armature, with up to 8 hours of battery life on a single charge (32 total hours of playtime with the case) and noise-cancellation microphones to help reduce ambient sound so callers can hear you better. They charge via USB-C and also support wireless charging.

I’m not sure they sound quite as good as the Sony WF-1000XM3, but they certainly sound like premium true wireless earphones, with rich sound that includes powerful bass performance and lots of detail. Some people may have some quibbles over the fit — I had to supply my own XL tips to get a tight seal and found the Anker’s Soundcore Liberty Air 2 a little more comfortable — but the Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro are a good value. They also work very well for making calls (they do a good job reducing background sound).

They use Bluetooth 5.0 with support for AAC and aptX.

Impressive call qualityPlantronics BackBeat Pro 5100 Sarah Tew/CNET

Plantronics new premium true wireless earphones, the BackBeat Pro 5100 ($170, £160, AU$299), are among the handful of true wireless headphones that are very good for making calls. For calling, they’re on par with the AirPods (they have good noise reduction) and sound better for listening to music.

Jabra Elite 65t CNET

Jabra’s Elite 65t ($170, £150 or AU$300) and slightly enhanced Elite Active 65t ($190, £170 or AU$350) have been around a while and have been among the best true wireless earbuds on the market the last couple of years. With the new, smaller Elite 75t here (see above), we’re seeing decent discounts on these models.

Their sound isn’t quite as rich or clean as the more expensive earphones above them on this best wireless headphones list (the bass lacks a little kick), but it’s still a very good-sounding set of true wireless earbuds that perform well for making calls. They’re still worth considering if you can find them for a good price.

These use Bluetooth 4.2 (AAC but no aptX).

Apple AirPods (2019)Sarah Tew/CNET

The second-generation AirPods add a couple of small but key improvements to the original, including always-on voice recognition and a wireless charging case option. They’re also a quality device for making calls, indoors and out.

The base model remains at $159 (£159, AU$249) while the version with the wireless charging case lists for $199 (£199, AU$319). However, you can often find both models for slightly cheaper online.

Impressive soundSennheiser Momentum True Wireless Sarah Tew/CNET

At $300 (£279, AU$499), Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless are more expensive than Apple AirPods, Jabra’s Elite 65t true wireless earbuds and the Elite Active 65t and Bose SoundSport Free wireless earbuds. But they sound superior to those models, with better bass and cleaner, more detailed audio. They also feature quality performance for making phone calls, with solid noise cancellation, and offer a generally comfortable fit, though they’re bigger than the Jabras and stick out of your ear a little more. Their only significant downside is that they gradually lose their charge in the charging case and can end up completely dead after four days or so if you don’t recharge the case.

I’ve used these wireless buds in the gym, but they don’t fit quite securely enough in my ear for running. Battery life is rated at 4 hours, and you get two extra battery charges from the charging carrying case. These use Bluetooth 5.0 with support for AAC and aptX and a firmware update has improved their performance and slightly.

Best sound under $1001More Stylish True Wireless Sarah Tew/CNET

I don’t really know how stylish the 1More Stylish True Wireless earbuds are (yes, that’s their name), but they do sound good. With a list price of $100, they’re the least expensive of any of the models on this list. 1More made a name for itself with its wired earbuds, the Triple Drivers, which sound great and were a good value when wired headphones were still a thing. The same clear, balanced sound is present in 1More’s first true wireless earbuds; they don’t sound as good as the Triple Drivers, but they sound very good for true wireless.

These have more of an audiophile sound profile, with more “accurate" sound, so bass lovers may be a little disappointed, but I liked them. Of course, it helped that I was able to get a tight seal with one of the included sets of ear tips. However, the stabilizer fin did nothing for me — I just jammed the tip into my ear to get a secure fit.

Their battery life is rated at up 6.5 hours (expect closer to 5 battery hours if you’re listening to music at higher volumes), with an extra 17 hours or so of battery life available from the charging case. These use Bluetooth 5.0 with support for AAC and aptX.

Audiophile soundMaster & Dynamic MW07 Plus Sarah Tew/CNET

The Master & Dynamic MW07 Plus is the second generation of the company’s MW07. It features greatly increased battery life (10 versus 3.5 hours), Bluetooth 5.0 and active noise-cancellation with two microphones on each bud. It may not fit everyone’s ear equally well, but they certainly have a distinct look, as well as very good sound and a great listening experience if you can get a tight seal. These in-ear headphones are known for more of an audiophile sound profile, with smooth, well-balanced sound and well-defined bass, and the MW07 Plus delivers that kind of sound.

Available in four color options for $300, these wireless earbuds include a swanky chrome charging case that comes with a secondary pouch for safekeeping (yes, the case can get scratched up if you leave it in a bag). The case, with its built-in chargeable battery, gives you an additional three charges (it charges via USB-C). These have support for AAC and aptX and have an extended range of more than 20 meters, according to Master & Dynamic.

Water-resistant: Yes (IPX5 rating — withstands sustained spray). Read our Master & Dynamic MW07 True Wireless Earphones preview.$180 AT AMAZON $185 AT WALMART

Very good sports model

JBL Reflect Flow David Carnoy/CNET

The Jaybird Vista is an excellent sports model that fits securely in your ears. It’s arguably slightly more comfortable than the JBL Reflect Flow, but the Flow, which retails for $150, arguably sounds better. It’s very similar to the JBL UA True Wireless Flash but has a more compact case and costs about $20 less.

Water-resistant: Yes (IPX7 rating — fully waterproof).

年末將近，每天都在用 Google 搜尋的你，知道哪些關鍵字最多人搜尋嗎？Google 近期公布台灣 2019 年搜尋排行榜（Year in Search），回顧過去一年內 Google 每天收到數以百萬的搜尋結果，彙整搜尋量竄升最快的關鍵字，範圍包括年度搜尋關鍵字、議題、人物等，我覺得最有趣的部分是，大家都怎麼用「如何」、「怎麼」這兩組關鍵字來搜尋想要知道的事情，我們一起來看看排行榜的結果！

2019 年 Google 台灣搜尋量排行榜出爐年度關鍵字是『我們與惡的距離』其他都在搜什麼呢？

2019 年度關鍵字：「我們與惡的距離」

在今年的年度搜尋排行榜，前十名多數都是影劇內容，排行榜第一的是「我們與惡的距離」，取材至近幾年的社會事件，探討隨機殺人的社會寫實劇、思覺失調、新聞產業等議題，在今年推出時真的是討論度非常高的一部影劇作品。另外排名 4、7、8、9、10 也都是影視類的作品，在這之中竟然就有三部宮廷劇，搜尋量這麼高，那我也要去補追這些劇XDD。而本屆的「世界 12 強棒球賽」，中華隊一路殺進複賽，雖然最後以第五名收尾，但中華隊的表現也讓也讓為期兩週的賽程在台灣掀起一陣棒球熱～

2019 年快速竄升議題

除了影視與體育的內容之外，在 2019 年快速竄升的議題也包括國內外的政經議題、災害事故，包括台灣網友們相當關切的「香港反送中」事件、長達17天的「長榮罷工」、「南方澳大橋斷裂」的意外及對動畫產業造成重大損失的「京都動畫縱火案」，都是許多網友關注的議題與話題之一

2019 年快速竄升電影

復仇者聯盟不用多說，身為系列的最終戰，全球票房超越阿凡達，成為影史最賣座電影，連原本沒看過復仇者系列電影的人，都因電影熱度跑去觀看，話題討論度非常高。蠻令我意外的是驚悚、恐怖題材的電影排名也很前面，包括演繹社會病態的「小丑」、由國產恐怖遊戲改編的「返校」、韓國針對社會階級議題的驚悚電影「寄生上流」，我個人覺得這三部電影探討議題都很特別且評價不錯，讓平常不看恐怖/驚悚片的我也有興趣去嘗試這樣類型的電影

2019 年快速竄升人物

2020 年總統大選在即，相關的人物也是受到高度關注，除了政治人物外多數是跟感情相關的話題人物，像是前一陣子台灣名模「志玲姊姊」與放浪兄弟成員 Akira 結婚的喜訊，也是受到大家的關注與祝福

2019 年大家都怎麼用「如何」、「怎麼」來搜尋解決辦法呢？

我覺得這個排名非常有趣欸！因為平常在搜尋的時候真的會用「如何」、「怎麼」來搜尋解決辦法，例如：腰痛「怎麼」辦、「如何」停止打嗝…之類的。在「如何」的關鍵字裡面，大家最常有疑問的是「秋冬旅遊補助如何申請」算是蠻時事性的話題，而多數都是自我提升型的發問，像是「如何賺錢」、「瘦大腿」、「瘦肚子」這類的話題，不得不說我完全能了解大家的煩惱啊！

另外在「怎麼」的關鍵字裡頭，多數是尋求解決病痛類型的提問，像是「咳嗽不止怎麼辦」、「頭痛怎麼辦」、「鼻塞怎麼辦」，發現還蠻多人有胃食道逆流的問題喔！搜尋量非常高阿！但第一名真的是非常多人的煩惱「紅包怎麼包」，我想會出現這個問題應該通常都是要去參加別人的婚禮需要包紅包，我也是到了需要煩惱這個困擾的年紀啊 XD

看台灣的Google年度搜尋排行榜除了可以看出大家今年都在關注什麼樣的話題，也能發現大家身上有什麼樣的病痛（？），熱門議題大家都跟上腳步了嗎？這些排行榜你也有貢獻搜尋量嗎？看完這個排行榜我決定要開始追那些討論度很高的宮廷劇了 XDD
