Earbuds FAQs

What’s the difference between earbuds and headphones?
Headphones and earbuds are two different types of personal speakers for listening to music, talking on the phone, and more. Differences between these two electronics include:

Shape: Headphones have a large speaker that covers the entire surface of your ear. Earbuds are small and nestle inside your ear.
Size: Earbuds are much smaller than headphones and, when not in use, an earbud case can easily fit in your pocket. Headphones are much larger and require a bag to carry.
Connection: Headphones connect to one another using a headband-shaped piece that sits on top of your head. Earbuds aren’t connected to one another.

Just like you can find both wired and wireless headphones, you can get wired earbuds or wireless earbuds.

Are wireless earbuds better than wired ones?
Choosing between wired and wireless earbuds is a matter of preference. Wireless earbuds are much more minimal. They take up less space, you don’t have to worry about tangled cords, and they make for a much sleeker look. Wired headphones, on the other hand, don’t need to be charged. All that’s left to do is decide what functionality and look you prefer!

How do I find earbuds that fit comfortably?

How do I clean my earbuds?
Clean your earbuds gently with a damp cloth. Be sure not to oversaturate it, because water can damage your earbuds. You can also use a brush or cotton swab to gently clear anything off the speaker.
