But Samsung just released its Galaxy Buds, which are a great alternative.

但三星新推出的 Galaxy Buds 也是一項很不錯的選擇。

Plus, they look a lot less silly.

更不用說 Galaxy Buds 外觀看起來精明多了。

Here's how they stack up against the AirPods.

以下將會說明三星的真無線耳機如何與蘋果一爭勝負。

Samsung Galaxy Buds are just as easy to set up as AirPods are for an iPhone.

配對 Galaxy Buds 就跟 iPhone 對 AirPods 設定一樣簡便。

You just open the case and as long as you are near a Samsung phone, you will see a prompt that lets you pair them.

掀開外盒後只要三星手機在附近，你就會看到一個彈出對話框讓你配對耳機。

You don't have to go digging through a Bluetooth menu, so long as you are using Android.

只要手機是 Android 系統，你就不需要翻找藍芽的設定目錄。

The Galaxy Buds also work with iPhones, but you need to pair them manually with Bluetooth instead of using the fast pairing option.

iPhones 也可以使用 Galaxy Buds，不過就會少了快速配對選項，你必須手動進行設定。

The Galaxy Buds sound just as good as AirPods.

三星無線耳機的音質就跟蘋果的一樣好。

While I've never complained about the quality from my AirPods, I thought the Galaxy Buds sounded good.

當然我對蘋果的音質很滿意，但我認為三星的表現旗鼓相當。

They are better at blocking out external noise and have controls that let you change the equalizer to highlight bass or treble in the music you are listening to.

三星耳機較能阻絕外界噪音，而且你可以調整它的等化器來凸顯樂曲中的低音和高音。

AirPods have even more equalizer controls, however.

不過蘋果耳機的等化器選項就又更豐富了。

I think the Galaxy Buds are just as comfortable as AirPods, but they are different.

我覺得三星耳機就跟蘋果的一樣舒服，但感覺上還是有所差異。

The Galaxy Buds are softer than AirPods, so they didn't hurt my ears after I wore them for a few hours.

三星耳機比蘋果來的柔軟，所以就算我連續戴上幾小時，耳朵也不會疼痛。

And they are also really good staying in my ear, so I could run without them falling out.

而且三星耳機的依附度很好，我跑步的時候耳機也不會掉出來。

Other people though, said that AirPods fit their ears better, so you will want to try both.

不過也有人說蘋果耳機的依附度比較好，所以你可以試戴兩款後再決定。

Unlike Apple's AirPods, Samsung's Galaxy Buds allow you to charge them wirelessly, which is awesome.

另一項優點在於三星耳機還可以無線充電，蘋果的就不行。

That means you can drop them on any Qi-enabled wireless charging pad or even the back of Samsung's new Galaxy S10 phones to power them up.

你只要把耳機放在任何 Qi 無線充電板，甚至可以用新款 Galaxy S10 手機背面來充電。

And that means, you don't have to go searching for an outlet.

換言之，你就不需要四處找電源插座了。

Excuse me!

不好意思！

Do you know where the nearest outlet is?

請問你知道這附近哪裡有插座嗎？

You should not have to worry too much about battery life though.

話說回來你也不用太擔心電量問題。

Samsung's Galaxy Buds give you six hours of battery life plus another seven once you put them in the case.

三星耳機續航力有 6 小時，耳機收納盒還能另外提供 7 小時。

But Apple's AirPods are better.

不過蘋果耳機更厲害。

They give you five hours, but up to 24 hours when you use the case.

它的續航力有 5 小時，收納盒則能提供最多 24 小時的電量。

Here's one thing I didn't like.

三星耳機有個缺點。

I never knew how much juice was left in the Samsung Galaxy Bud's case.

我沒辦法知道三星耳機的收納盒裡電量還剩多少。

That's something Apple always tells you.

蘋果的則會顯示電量多寡。

The Galaxy Buds are cheaper than AirPods too.

再來三星耳機也比蘋果便宜。

Samsung charges $129 for these, while Apple charges $159 for AirPods.

Galaxy Buds 要價 129 美元，AirPods 則是 159 美元。

Then there are features in the Galaxy Buds that you don't get in AirPods like Google Assistant and ambient noise controls.

另外三星耳機有些功能是蘋果沒有的，例如 Google 助手以及環境噪音設定。

I like that I could tap the side of the Galaxy Buds to activate Google Assistant and ask it anything.

按下三星耳機側邊就可以啟動 Google 助手來問我想問的問題，這是優點之一。

How long will it take me to get to Yankee Stadium?

從這邊到洋基棒球場要花多久時間？

AirPods only work with Siri, which isn't generally as smart as Google Assistant. Plus, I can use Google Assistant to play Spotify.

蘋果耳機只能用 Siri，一般來說 Siri 不如 Google 助手靈敏。而且我可以用 Google 助手來播放 Spotify 音樂。

Play music by the Backstreet Boys.

播放「新好男孩」的歌曲。

The ambient noise feature lets you tap one of the earbuds so you can hear your surroundings better.

輕觸一邊耳機開啟環境噪音功能，你就可以聽見更多周邊的聲響。

This worked just okay.

這功能運作良好。

The music got really soft and I found it was just as easy to pause a song.

音樂變得非常輕柔，而且操作上就跟按暫停一樣簡單

So should you buy them?

那麼你該購買三星耳機嗎？

If you run Android, think AirPods look silly or are worried about how they fit, then you should check out the Samsung Galaxy Buds.

如果你拿 Android 系統的手機，覺得 AirPods 看起來很傻，或者擔心它戴起來的舒適度，那你就可以考慮三星的 Galaxy Buds。

Galaxy Buds are cheaper than AirPods, sound good, are comfortable and have additional features like wireless charging.

三星的比較便宜，音質佳、配戴舒適，而且有無線充電等附加功能。

But, if you have an iPhone and want something that pairs quickly and seamlessly, stick to AirPods.

但是如果你拿的是 iPhone 且希望能迅速流暢地與手機配對，那就買蘋果吧！
