Explanation of In-ear Earphones/Headphones and Earbuds

In-ear headphones are also known as earphones or interaural headphones. Considering the design of housings, there are 2 kinds of in-ear headphones: earbuds and canal phones. Each type fits differently into your ears.

Canal phones

Canalphones refer to in-ear monitors (IEMs), in-ear canal phones, ear canal phones, or they are sometimes even called ear canal headphones. These in-ear headphones feature eartips with universal sizes that are directly inserted in the ear canal. As a result, the noise isolating performance is better than earbuds. Deep or shallow insertion will decide whether you have a comfortable fit. Canalphones are called IEMs when they are used by artists, audiophiles or audio engineers in a professional setting.

In-ear earbuds

Earbuds, also known as headphones, are the same as canal phones in terms of design. The main difference is that earbuds don’t feature eartips and/or nozzles, so they don’t enter ear canals and don’t isolate noise as well as canal phones. While the tight seal plays a crucial role on how the bass comes across, earbuds will never have better bass than canalphones.

The word “earbud” is used to refer to in-ear headphones, which are the most portable choice for all audiophiles or casual listeners. Some people also like to use the word “earbud” to refer to all types of in-ear headphones. Wearing a pair of earbuds is not the same as putting on over-the-ear headphones or on-ear headphones. Earbuds are placed slightly outside the ear canals. Check out our top picks for cheap bluetooth earbuds here.
