Headphones: Earbud

home >  headphones > earbud

Earbuds are small headphones that commonly come with portable players, and typically block little to no outside noise.

Ear bud headphones seat in the concha, the cupped area around the ear canal in the center of your outer ear, and they do not block outside noise.  Also see our selection of in ear headphones which are similar to earbuds, but block significant noise and offer a more secure fit.  Usually earbuds are very efficient so they can be used directly with iPods and portable players. Many earbuds are inexpensive and are not known for good sound quality, but we've carefully selected some of the best performing earbuds available.

For more information about earbud headphones see our earbud selection guide.
