Earphones & Earbuds

Small Earphones for Everyday Listening

Earbuds are an easy option for commuting, working out or taking calls on the go. Whether you prefer true wireless earbuds with a charging case or simple wired earphones with a 3.5mm or Lightning connector, comparing fit, connection and features will help you choose.

Features to Compare

• True wireless or wired: True wireless earbuds connect by Bluetooth and charge in a case, while wired earphones plug directly into a compatible port. Check the connector type for wired models.
• Fit and ear tips: In-ear designs use silicone tips for a sealed fit, while semi-in-ear designs rest in the outer ear. Included tip sizes vary by model.
• Noise control: Active noise cancellation and transparency modes are available on selected models. Check the product specifications.
• Microphone and controls: Most earbuds include a microphone and touch or button controls for calls and playback.
• Water and sweat resistance: Resistance varies by model, so check the specifications if you plan to use them for exercise.
• Ecosystem features: Some earbuds offer extra features when paired with the same brand of phone, such as AirPods with iPhone or Galaxy Buds with Samsung Galaxy devices.

2. Consider fit: in-ear with ear tips or semi-in-ear.
