T

he Altec Lansing name has been
around for decades. Over the
years, the brand’s fortunes have
risen and fallen as its owners
have fought to find were the company’s
audio gear fits among the hundreds of
companies jockeying for the attention of
audio aficionados. Over the past few
years, Altec Lansing has settled into a
reputation for making competent, mid-

ranged headphones, headsets, and

speakers that offer reasonable sound for a

reasonable price.

Available for around $100, its True Evo

Wireless Earphones (go.macworld.com/

trvo) appear to be well-suited to helping

the company keep on keeping on with this

reputation. They come with an IPX6 water

resistance rating, a respectable four hours

of runtime between charges, and foam ear

Altec Lansing True Evo:

Waterproof Bluetooth sports

earbuds with Qi charging case

Earphones so nice they broke on us twice.
