Our Verdict
Apple AirPods (1st generation) Truly Wireless
XFYRO xS2 Truly Wireless
The XFYRO xS2 Truly Wireless are more versatile headphones than the Apple AirPods (1st generation) Truly Wireless. They have better isolation due to their closed-back design, making them a better choice for commuting and use at the office. They also barely leak, have great wireless range, and aren't exclusive to Apple products. On the other hand, the AirPods have significantly better build quality and have one of the best cases we've tested so far. They also have better battery life, but they lack a lot of bass.
