It’s hard to imagine a day without your earbuds, isn’t it? Whether you want to silence noisy commutes or power through workouts, you turn to them. But here’s the thing: there are different types of earbuds available in the market, and they all suit different lifestyles. From gym-friendly designs to battery beasts made to travel, there’s a whole lot of variety out there and choosing the right one can simplify your routine.
So, if you’re due for an audio upgrade, take a look at the types of bluetooth earbuds out there and choose the one that screams ‘you’.
Types of Earbuds
1. TWS Earbuds
TWS (True Wireless Stereo), as the name suggests, are completely wire-free. There’s no cable between the buds; you just put them in your ears and connect via Bluetooth. Because of their design and flexibility, they have become one of the most popular options.
2. Bluetooth Neckband
Next in the list are neckbands. Technically, they aren’t earbuds as there’s a wire that rests around your neck and connects the two buds. But thanks to the wire, you don’t have to worry about misplacing the individual buds.
3. Fitness Earbuds
Now, sport or fitness models can be found in both TWS and neckband categories. They usually come with a cuff-like fit that ensures they don’t fall off. If you run, cycle or hit the gym regularly, these are exactly the type of bluetooth earbuds you need.
