What's the difference between Headphones and Earbuds?
Headphones and earbuds are often used interchangeably. However, they are two different products. Headphones are meant to go over your head with earcups on each side resting on the outside of your ear, whereas earbuds go directly in your ear canal. The style you choose really boils downs to which style you find the most comfortable.
Pick the best headphones for your lifestyle
If you're an audiophile, you’ll want to pick headphones that enhance the quality of the sound of your music. For exercising or playing a sport, you'll want to look into wireless earbuds. Wireless sports earbuds come with an earpiece that goes around your ear to safely secure the headphones while you're active.
Wired or Wireless Headphones
There are pros and cons to using wireless and wired headphones. Wired headphones don’t have to be charged. They are plugged directly into your phone ensuring that you have a clear and secure sound connection. Overtime, the wire that connects to your phone can become frayed and damaged, and you’ll need to buy a replacement.
Wireless headphones eliminate the need for a cord to connect your phone. They are connected to your phone using technology such as Bluetooth and NFC. That’s one less wire you’ll have to deal with. However, wireless sound devices require charging before you use them. Because they operate on a battery, you have to make sure your headphones or earbuds are fully-charged or you run the risk of them dying while you’re on a call.
Both wired and wireless headphones have controls that allow you to adjust your volume as well as answer and decline calls.
