Top 4 In-ear Headphones/Earbuds (wired)

It's only fair to share...

#1 Rated Earbuds (wired)

Sony MDRXB60EX/GLD Extra Bass In Ear 13.5mm Driver Headphone

We rate the Sony MDRXB60EX/GLD Extra Bass In Ear Headphones right at the top for the following reasons.

13.5mm high sensitivity XB drivers – most other in-ear headphones have 10mm drivers. Because of the extra size of the drivers, it produces richer sounds with deeper, more powerful bass (drivers are not the only components in headphones that decide the quality and quantity of sound; however, if all else is identical, bigger drivers typically result in better sounds)
Advanced Direct Vibe structure – together with the 13.5mm drivers, provides “a vast soundscape filled with thrilling highs and deeply resonating lows”
Broad response frequency – 4 to 25,000 Hz
Noise isolation earbuds – pressure relieving urethane foam reduces ambient noise. Also help for an outstanding fit. Small, Medium, and Large sizes are included. However, if you want ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION, you should check out Bose QuietComfort 20i Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones.
Hybrid silicone earbuds – come in 4 sizes allowing for a tailored fit that further maximizes overall sound quality and comfort
Excellent user reviews

#2 Rated Earbuds

Bose SoundTrue Earbuds

The Bose SoundTrue In-Ear Headphones is our #2 rated earphones for the following reasons.

Deep and clear audio with balanced treble and bass notes. Thanks to Bose’s exclusive TriPort® technology, low notes sound natural, even at high volumes. You know how ‘distorted’ lows become at high volumes. The TriPort technology eliminates that distortion.
Gives a broader range of notes (highs to mids to lows) than the average earbuds
StayHear® tips: if you’ve used earbuds in the past, you know that one of the major problems with them is that they continuously fall out of your ear canals. Well.. not these. The Bose SoundTrue earphones stay put, thanks to the StayHear® tips
Available in 5 colors
Comes with a clothing clip, carrying case and 3-pairs StayHear tips (S, M, L)
