2 Best Bluetooth Trackers of 2026, Plus Honorable Mentions
2026年最佳蓝牙追踪器及荣誉提名
I’d like to believe I’m organized. Reality suggests otherwise. I’ve left my smartphone in the refrigerator and spent hours searching for it. I’ve misplaced my AirPods and Oura Ring for days at a time. I once lost my house key for three months, only to find it in one of my hoodies. My typical strategy isn’t to look harder; it’s to assume whatever’s missing will eventually reappear someday.
我总想让自己看起来井井有条,但现实却并非如此。我曾把智能手机忘在冰箱里,花了好几个小时才找到;我也曾把 AirPods 和 Oura 戒指弄丢好几天;甚至有一次,我的家门钥匙丢了三个月,最后竟然是在一件连帽衫里找到的。我通常的处理策略不是更努力地寻找,而是假设丢失的东西总有一天会自己出现。
The problem is, lost items don’t always cooperate. Even seasoned travelers know that once luggage disappears onto an airport conveyor belt, all you can do is hope. That’s why Bluetooth trackers are essential. Yes, there are legitimate privacy concerns around tracking devices and misuse. But without Bluetooth and GPS trackers, I’d spend considerably more of my life wandering around my apartment wondering, “Where did I put that?”
问题在于,丢失的物品并不总是那么“听话”。即便是经验丰富的旅行者也知道,一旦行李消失在机场传送带上,你唯一能做的就是祈祷。这就是为什么蓝牙追踪器至关重要。诚然,追踪设备及其滥用确实存在合理的隐私担忧,但如果没有蓝牙和 GPS 追踪器,我恐怕会花更多的时间在公寓里徘徊,不停地问自己:“我把它放哪儿了?”
These are the best Bluetooth trackers WIRED has tested and vetted. Still confused about how these devices work? We have more information on how to find your phone, how to track your luggage, and the best trackable luggage.

最佳蓝牙追踪器总评:Chipolo 蓝牙追踪器
Best Bluetooth Tracker Overall: Chipolo Bluetooth Trackers
In the competition between Tile and Chipolo for the most ubiquitous tracker, I would not have guessed that Chipolo would be the one to land exclusive collaborations with both Apple and Google. Yet here we are. Chipolo has three separate product lines: the Chipolo Pop, Loop, and Card, plus bundles that work with the Chipolo app; all products are compatible with iOS and Android devices.
在 Tile 和 Chipolo 争夺最普及追踪器的竞争中,我本没料到 Chipolo 会成为那个与苹果和谷歌达成独家合作的公司。但事实确实如此。Chipolo 拥有三个独立的产品系列:Pop、Loop 和 Card,以及可配合 Chipolo 应用使用的套装;所有产品均兼容 iOS 和 Android 设备。
WIRED editor Julian Chokkattu and I have tested several of these lines. They’re at a similar price point to Tile’s and come in a variety of colors. Setup is simple, especially if you use your phone’s native app. I currently have a Card in my wallet. It’s about the same size as one credit card and about as thick as two of them. It’s also loud enough for me to hear even when it’s in my wallet, inside my purse, and in another room.
《连线》编辑 Julian Chokkattu 和我测试了其中几个系列。它们的价格与 Tile 相当,且有多种颜色可选。设置非常简单,尤其是使用手机原生应用时。我目前在钱包里放了一张 Card,它的大小和一张信用卡差不多,厚度约为两张卡。即使它在钱包里、放在手提包中且处于另一个房间,声音也足够大,让我能听见。
苹果设备首选:Apple AirTag
Best for Apple Devices: Apple AirTag
Apple’s long-awaited Tile competitor debuted in 2021; AirTags use Bluetooth connectivity and Apple’s special U1 location-finding chip to help you pinpoint location via the Find My app. The second-gen improves the ability to find the tracker’s location when using Apple’s Precision Finding feature, with up to 1.5 times greater range. With a new chime, it’s also 50 percent louder than its predecessor, and Apple says it can be heard from twice as far away as before.
苹果备受期待的 Tile 竞争对手于 2021 年首次亮相;AirTag 利用蓝牙连接和苹果特有的 U1 定位芯片,通过“查找”(Find My) 应用帮助你精确定位。第二代产品在使用苹果的“精确查找”功能时,定位能力得到了提升,范围扩大了 1.5 倍。凭借新的提示音,它的音量也比前代产品提高了 50%,苹果称其声音传播距离是以前的两倍。
The obvious downside here is that the ubiquity and ease of use of the Apple AirTag means that evil people can use it to find you as well. It also doesn’t work with Android phones, and it’s not rechargeable, so you will have to replace the battery in about a year.
显而易见的缺点是,Apple AirTag 的普及和易用性意味着心怀不轨的人也可以利用它来追踪你。此外,它不支持 Android 手机,且不可充电,因此你大约一年后需要更换电池。
