The Chipolo POP is the most flexible pick for travelers who do not all use the same phone. One tag sets up on either Apple's Find My network or Google's Find Hub, so it can follow an iPhone owner's suitcase on one trip and an Android owner's on the next after a reset. Chipolo rates the ring at up to 120 dB, among the loudest figures published here, which helps when a bag is in a pile at a carousel or under a hotel bed. The built-in keyhole means you can loop it onto a zipper pull or tag strap without buying a holder. Battery life is up to a year on a replaceable CR2032, and the free Chipolo app adds Out of Range Alerts and a double-press to ring your phone. The tradeoffs are a lower IP55 rating, which covers splashes but not dunking, and no Ultra Wideband, so close-range finding is by sound rather than an arrow on screen.
Who it is for
Travelers in mixed iPhone and Android households who want a loud tag that clips straight onto a bag.
