Earbuds and in-ear headphones

In-ear headphones: Small design, Great sound.

They are small enough to fit in just about any pocket, and they shorten the distance between you and the sound more than any other headphone design. In order to sound really great, however, they need to have a snug fit. Different sizes of ear adapters do the trick, along with well-designed hooks. High-quality in-ear headphones are the perfect choice for travellers or in the gym.

Sennheiser offers a range of in-ear models, from state-of-the-art audiophile ones to water resistant sports models. There are also Bluetooth® or wired headsets with integrated remote controls, which are ideal for sonically upgrading your smartphone.

Different types of earbuds

The defining characteristic of in-ear headphones is that they consist of two small, round headphones worn inside the ear canal. Their shape and design are why they’re also called “earbuds”. There are several different kinds of in-ear headphones:

• Wired: These headphones can be connected via a cable to the device playing music, e.g. a smartphone, tablet or laptop. Using the controls attached to the cable, you can adjust the volume, hit pause, and more!
• Bluetooth: Wireless in-ear headphones can usually be linked to your phone or tablet via Bluetooth. However, Bluetooth headphones can still have wires – many models feature a cable connecting the left headphone to the right one. This means you can wear the headphones around your neck to keep them handy and avoid losing them. Plus, the cable on Bluetooth headphones is often equipped with a clip so that you can attach the headphones to your clothes, for example when working out or running. Volume and playback controls are also on the cable, for easy adjustment to your listening experience.
  
• True wireless: If you want to use your in-ear headphones completely wirelessly, you need to look for true wireless in-ear headphones. This version consists only of the two Ear Buds and a storage box. The ear buds are charged at the same time, because both true-wireless-in-ear and over-ear headphones run on integrated batteries. The charging box itself is charged by cable. As soon as the earbuds are inside, the headphones start charging automatically.

Why use earbuds?

High quality in-ear headphones have many advantages:

• Handy: Earbuds and in-ear headphones are easy to transport, fitting right into your pocket – even inside their charging box.
  
• Lightweight: With their compact design, earbuds weigh almost nothing.
• Good fit: Earbuds are ergonomically designed to fit inside the ear cup, so that they can’t slip out while running or working out.
  
• Energy-efficient: As the earbuds are so close to the ear, they only need to use a small amount of energy to produce sound at a comfortable volume. The result? In-ear headphones have a longer-lasting battery life.
• Noise-isolating: With the earbuds sitting in the ear canal and close to the eardrum, in-ear headphones seal off external noise very well.
  

Tip: Be careful not to turn up the volume of your in-ear headphones too high to avoid damaging your hearing. Sennheiser headphones provide an excellent sound experience, even at low volumes.

Care and cleaning of earphones

Your earbuds will pick up daily grit and grime from usage or sitting in your pocket, so you should clean them regularly. This is easy and quick to do, in just four steps:

1.Remove the silicone attachments from the earphones. Earbuds are not waterproof, but the silicone eartips can be removed and washed separately.

2.Gently remove any unwanted dirt with soap and water from the attachments.
3.If the dirt is too stubborn to clean, you can order replacement adapters in a practical pack of ten from us.
4.The delicate mesh on the earbuds themselves should only be cleaned with light compressed air, e.g. by blowing on them, or using a hairdryer on cold setting. You can remove stickier dirt with an adhesive strip. Once cleaned, you can reattach the dry silicone attachments.
