Whether jogging, shopping or calling colleagues - in-ear headphones are small, practical everyday companions.
Unlike large over-ear headphones with a bracket, the ear buttons fit in every pocket - even Bluetooth in-ear headphones are even more handy.
The wireless version is usually supplied in a small case in which the earbuds can also be charged.
Bluetooth in-ear headphones: these are the advantages
For many people, Bluetooth in-ear headphones are currently the first choice - not only are they extremely small and handy, they also avoid the most common problem with headphones: the annoying wear and tear on the jack plug.
The use of Bluetooth always means a minimal restriction in the sound quality, but this is hardly noticeable in everyday use.
The flexibility that wireless in-ear headphones allow outweighs for many.
Because the annoying cable, which tends to get knotted when stowed in the bag, is superfluous with Bluetooth earbuds, especially with the “True Wireless” version.
"True Wireless" In-Ear: What does that actually mean?
"True Wireless" is the name given to in-ear headphones that sit directly in the ear and work wirelessly - this ensures maximum freedom of movement when in use.
The Bluetooth earbuds work without a cable connection between the ears, as is the case with some models.
The best known are the AirPods from Apple * They promise playback of more than 24 hours on a single charge - they can also be stored and charged in the supplied case.
The handling is especially practical for users of other Apple products, as the AirPods can be quickly connected to an iPhone, MacBook or iPad.

Further advantages: The sports headphones are water and sweat resistant and the ear hooks are adjustable and non-slip.
