About Earbuds
Earbuds may not be as glamorous as our beryllium-domed audiophile headphones. But let’s be real: when it comes to everyday recreational listening, it’s tough to topple the humble earbud.
Low-profile earbuds allow us to enjoy our music, audiobooks, podcasts, and correspondences at every stage of our days — working out in the gym, commuting to work, or catching meetings in the coffee shop. Athletes love earbuds for their mobility, and academics love that they’re easy to take in and out without mussing hair.
In fact, according to a recent study reported by the National Library of Medicine, earbuds top the charts as the most common type of headphones used by Swedish adolescents. This underscores the importance of choosing the right earbuds for your needs and environment — whether you’re mixing music at home or enjoying tunes out on the trail.
Are you in the market for a new set of earbuds to heighten your audio enjoyment and elevate your telecommunication? You’ve come to the right place. Use the shop filters on this page to sort by a particular brand, price range, or feature — such as fit style, active noise cancellation, number of drivers, and more.
Ready to buy? Cut right to the chase with a quick call to our knowledgeable Sales Engineers. We’re happy to share our personal experiences and make recommendations based on your listening preferences.

Earbud FAQs
Wireless vs. true wireless earbuds — what’s the difference?
True wireless (TWS) earbuds are completely cordless. These ’buds pair wirelessly to a personal listening device and one another to deliver a fully liberated listening experience. While TWS earbuds offer maximum mobility, they come with their own set of challenges — lost earbuds, absence of tactile controls, and so on.
Wireless earbuds (sometimes called neckband earbuds) pair wirelessly to a personal listening device but are themselves tethered by a cord or flexible band worn around the neck. This style may be preferred by high-intensity athletes or users who are prone to having their earbuds fall out.
Are wired earbuds still a thing?
Most definitely! Not only are many Sweetwater customers still clamoring for the iconic white Apple EarPods, but more and more listeners are also choosing to make hi-fi wired earbuds and even pro-grade in-ear monitors their ’buds of choice. Wired earbuds may be the perfect solution for listeners who demand maximum fidelity from their music and audio or prefer a failure-proof corded connection to their listening devices. Or even just those of us who want to make our earbuds a fashion choice.
Passive vs. active noise cancellation — which is right for me?
All earbuds will offer some degree of passive isolation from your environment just by the nature of their design. As for how much, this varies by tip style and circuit type.
Passive noise-canceling earbuds (i.e., most earbuds) aim to create a seal in the listener’s ear to enhance frequency response. Through the use of foam or silicone tips, users of passive earbuds will naturally encounter some level of passive isolation from their listening environments.
Active noise-canceling (ANC) earbuds use special circuitry to reduce outside noise by a process known as destructive interference. Effectively, ambient noise sampled with onboard microphones is polarity reversed to reduce low-frequency background noise from traffic, engines, HVAC systems, and more.
Note that some earbuds today may even give users the option to “blend back in” a touch of ambient noise to taste. Take, for example, JBL’s Ambient Aware and TalkThru technologies. These allow pedestrians to stay attuned to their surroundings when walking among traffic and office workers to engage in quick chats without having to remove their earbuds.
