How to Choose In-Ear Headphones

By Klarna

blog 16x9 guide-in-ear-headphones

Earbuds vs in-ear headphones

The difference lies in their design and fit. Earbuds rest loosely in the outer ear without entering the ear canal. In-ear headphones fit snugly into the ear canal, creating a tight seal. In-ear headphones generally deliver superior sound isolation and audio quality; earbuds are more comfortable thanks to their loose fit.

Sports headphones

All purpose. Think about what you'll be using your headphones forโ€“working out, commuting or taking virtual meetings from home? If you frequently switch between different environments and devices, the multipoint feature might just be what you need. It lets you connect to multiple devices at the same time, making your life a whole lot easier.

Exercising and sports. Planning to use your headphones for exercise or outdoor activities? Then going for the ones that are sweat-proof would be useful. Also, think about the specific exercise or sports you'll be doing while wearing them. Will they need to fit under a helmet or withstand submersion during swimming? Or maybe you'd like to keep your headphones on while showering post-intense running?

Check our top picks of exercise and sports headphones.
