Today, users want stylish but portable audiowear, making earbuds the way to go. Earbuds target the inner canal of the ear and are made to sit firmly inside. Some come with outer-ear support and many offer bluetooth connectivity. If you are a fan of the Samsung brand, own a Samsung device, or are simply looking for a pair of earbuds that are not made by Apple, Samsung offers a great variety to choose from. The two biggest things to keep in mind is battery life (for Bluetooth buds) and fit. Most earbuds come with several different sized rubber attachments that allow the user to find the best fit. Experiment with these for the best earbud experience. Remember that you tend to get what you pay for when it comes to selecting long lasting and durable earphones.
