Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best earbuds to buy?

The best earbuds depend on your budget and how you'll use them. For everyday use, look at true wireless earbuds with Bluetooth 5.0+ and decent battery life. For the gym, prioritise sweat resistance and a secure fit. For travel, active noise cancelling makes a huge difference. Match the features to your use case rather than chasing the most expensive option.

What's the difference between true wireless and wireless earbuds?

True wireless earbuds have no cable at all — each earbud is fully independent and they communicate with each other via Bluetooth. Wireless earbuds (sometimes called neckband earbuds) have a thin cable connecting the two buds, usually worn around the neck. True wireless is more popular today; neckband styles can be more convenient for sport and pause-and-go use.

Do earbuds work with both iPhone and Android?

Most modern earbuds use standard Bluetooth, so they work with both iPhone and Android. Some specific brand pairings — like AirPods with iPhone, or Galaxy Buds with Samsung phones — offer extra features (faster pairing, custom controls), but the core audio and call functions work across both platforms.

How long do earbuds last on a single charge?

Most modern true wireless earbuds offer 4–8 hours of playback on a single charge, with the charging case extending total listening time to 20–40 hours. Premium models can offer even longer. Battery life is shorter when active noise cancelling is on or at higher volumes.

Are noise cancelling earbuds worth it?

Yes — if you commute on the train or bus, fly often, or work in busy environments, active noise cancelling (ANC) is a game-changer. It actively reduces background noise so you can focus on your music or call. If you mostly listen at home in a quiet room, you may not need it.

What does IPX4 or IPX7 mean?

"IPX" ratings tell you how water-resistant the earbuds are. IPX4 means resistant to sweat and light splashes — fine for gym workouts. IPX7 means the earbuds can be fully submerged in water briefly without damage. For running, gym and outdoor use, look for IPX4 or higher.

Are wired earbuds still worth buying?

Yes — wired earbuds offer lag-free, lossless audio, never need charging and are usually cheaper than wireless equivalents. They're a great choice for critical listening, gaming and anyone who prefers simplicity. Note that most modern phones no longer have a headphone jack, so you may need a USB-C or Lightning adapter.
