Headphones: Earbud

home >  headphones > earbud

Earbuds are small in-ear headphones common with portable audio devices, and typically block very little outside noise

Earbud headphones will seat in the concha ridge of the ear, the cupped area around the ear canal in the center of your outer ear. Earbud designs block little, if any, outside ambient noise but can be quite comfortable to wear for many listeners.  Also see our HeadRoom selection of in ear headphones which are similar to earbuds, but will block significant noise and offer a more secure 'earplug-like' fit.  Usually earbuds are highly efficient so they can be used directly with iPod or iPhone and all portable players. Many earbuds are inexpensive and are not known for great sound quality, but we've carefully selected some of the best performing earbuds available.

For more information about earbud headphones, please see our HeadRoom earbud selection guide.
