Earbuds & In-Ear Headphones

Earbuds and In-Ear Headphones

Whether you're on the go or sitting at your desk, nothing beats the lightweight convenience of earbuds or in-ear headphones. They easily tuck in a pocket, purse, or carry-on bag. These hands-free listening devices come in numerous styles and brand options so you can find exactly what you need. Stick with classic color options like black or white or snag a pair in your favorite color like red, blue, or pink. Whether they're Bose or Beats by Dre, our headphones all deliver exceptional sound quality. Most options available today offer clear, crisp audio for music, movies, or podcasts. If you're used to over-ear headphones, earbuds designed specifically for a comfort fit are a great way to test out these portable listening devices. If you're looking for headphones that also make phone calls easy, opt for a pair of Apple AirPods, which feature a built-in microphone that delivers exceptional audio for voice commands and phone calls. Consider what you plan on using your earbuds or in-ear headphones for before purchasing or consider investing in two pairs, one for casual listening and another for working out. We offer headphones to fit any lifestyle and budget.

These listening devices come in multiple styles that each have their own advantages. Earbuds and in-ear headphones aren't exactly the same and they each have their own benefits. As their name implies, in-ear headphones truly sit in the ear canal. These headphones offer a superior listening experience thanks to padding for comfort and noise-blocking capabilities even in models that aren't specifically engineered for noise cancellation. Earbuds, on the other hand, do not sit directly inside the ear canal; they simply rest on the concha, the part of your ear directly outside the ear canal. Even so, these buds still offer some noise cancellation while also being comfortable to wear. These wireless headphones connect to your phone typically via Bluetooth so you can listen to your favorite playlists during your commute, at the office, or at the gym. If you plan on listening for hours at a time before returning home, be sure to choose a pair with a charging case. Around-the-ear headphones are very similar to in-ear headphones but feature ear hooks or a wire to connect the earphones to each other to keep the headphones secure during physical activity. Those who love the convenience of wireless headphones will enjoy the added security of wireless headphones with ear hooks. If you run or cycle outdoors, look for a water-resistant model. Even if you're not working out, around-the-ear headphones can help you not lose your headphones. No matter which model you choose, you'll enjoy hours of high-quality audio from a single charge.
