Earbuds, also known as earphones or in-ear headphones, are a type of portable audio equipment designed to be worn directly on the user's ears. They typically consist of a small ear cup or housing that fits into the ear canal and is connected to an external speaker system.
Types of Earbuds
- In-Ear Headphones (IEHs): These are the most common type of earbud, where a small device is inserted into the ear canal to produce sound.
- On-Ear Headphones (OEHs): These have a larger housing that covers both ears, providing better sound quality and comfort.
- Over-Ear Headphones (OEHS): These are larger than OEHs, covering the entire head, offering more bass response and often used for movies or gaming.
