7 Smart earbuds that do more than just play music
  • What makes earbuds better than headphones? The major advantage of wearing earbuds is the fact that they don’t detach you from the environmental noise. As a result, you can hear sounds that you are supposed to hear while you’re on the go.
  • Which headphones are by far the best in 2018? If you are an audiophile, headphones are definitely something to consider. Here is a list of our recent favorites of 2018.
  • Fun fact about earbuds you probably didn’t know: Science fiction author Ray Bradbury had referred to “Seashell radios” in his novel Fahrenheit 451. According to the novel, “…[a]nd in her ears the little Seashells, the thimble radios tamped tight, and an electronic ocean of sound, of music and talk and music and talk coming in, coming in on the shore of her unsleeping mind.”

From your commute to getting yourself in the zone, from your workouts to setting the mood for dinner – we love our music. There are plenty of incredible speakers on the market and headphones have certainly transformed personal listening experiences. But, earbuds give you so much more versatility. They help you remain a part of the world around you while delivering impressive sound.
