If you aren’t a fan of earbuds in the first place, it’s likely because you’ve chosen ones that don’t sit comfortably on your ears. There are 2 main types of earbuds around; here’s how to choose the best pair of wireless earbuds:
Pros: As they sit directly into the ears, in-ear earbuds are much better at effectively sealing off any external noise and providing clearer and crisp sound quality.
