In-ear

In-ear earphones are earphones that are placed directly in the ear canal instead of resting on or around the ear. They are small, lightweight, and stay in place with the help of soft silicone or foam tips that conform to your ear.

Because in-ear earphones sit inside the ear, they can provide good passive noise isolation, which means they naturally reduce some ambient noise. This makes them popular for commuting, training, and everyday use.

Our in-ear earphones are available in these categories:
• True wireless earphones (completely wireless)
• Wireless in-ear earphones with a cable between the earbuds
• Wired in-ear earphones that connect directly to your phone or computer

There is a difference between in-ear headphones and true wireless headphones, even though the terms are sometimes used together.

In-ear headphones describe the actual design of the headphones. They are placed directly in the ear canal, unlike over-ear headphones which sit over the ears. In-ear headphones are available both as wired and wireless models.

True wireless headphones, on the other hand, are a type of wireless headphones with no cable at all – neither between the earbuds nor to the device. They usually connect via Bluetooth and often come with a charging case.

This means that most true wireless headphones are also in-ear, but not all in-ear headphones are true wireless. Some in-ear models, for example, have a cable between the earbuds or a cable to your phone or computer.

The difference between in-ear headphones and over-ear headphones mainly comes down to design, comfort, and how they’re used.

In-ear headphones sit directly in the ear canal and are small, lightweight, and easy to carry. They are popular for workouts, commuting, and travel because they are portable and often come as true wireless models without cables.

Over-ear headphones have larger ear cups that surround the entire ear. They often provide a more immersive sound experience and better comfort for longer listening sessions, which makes them popular for music, gaming, work, and video meetings.

When choosing between in-ear or over-ear headphones, you can think like this:
• Choose in-ear headphones if you want something compact, light, and easy to bring with you.
• Choose over-ear headphones if you prioritize comfort, powerful sound, and a more enveloping listening experience.

The choice between wireless headphones and wired headphones (headphones with a cable) mainly depends on how and where you use them.

Wireless headphones usually connect via Bluetooth and give you greater freedom of movement since you don’t have to deal with cables. They are a popular choice for mobile use, workouts, commuting and working on the go. Many wireless models also have features such as noise cancelling, touch controls and charging cases.

Wired headphones connect directly to your device via a cable, for example a 3.5 mm jack or USB-C. Since the sound is transmitted directly through the cable, they don’t need to be charged and can provide a stable, lag-free connection. That’s why wired headphones are often used for listening to music, gaming, studio work or at the computer.

When choosing between wireless or wired headphones, you can think like this:
• Choose wireless headphones if you want maximum freedom and plan to use them a lot with your phone or on the go.
• Choose wired headphones if you want a stable connection without batteries and often listen at a computer, for gaming or music production.
