What are the different types of headphone?

• True Wireless Earbuds

One of the newest types of headphone, earbuds cut the wires out completely. True Wireless Earbuds are very light and ultra-portable.

Earbuds are very popular for exercising and the gym. They are also a very discrete way of listening to music without cramping your style.

• On-Ear and Over-Ear Headphones

One of the most common types of headphone design, with earcups and a headband. Choose from either the secure fit of over-ear, or the more stylish on-ear design.

These are generally the best at keeping the sound from escaping when you listen. If you are more about the music than the look, then these might be the best fit for you.

• Wireless In-Ear Headphones
