The design of the earpiece used in a Bluetooth headset.
—
Earbuds. A small earpiece located in the auricle outside the auditory canal (as opposed to in-ear). The unequivocal advantages of inserts are simplicity and low cost. The sound insulation of such devices turns out to be rather weak, which can be both a minus and a plus: the earbud is not suitable for a noisy environment, but it almost does not interfere with hearing. But the sound quality of the earbuds is somewhat lower than that of the in-channel counterparts. In addition, such an earpiece is less securely held in the ear and is more difficult to adjust to the individual biological nuances of a person (although interchangeable nozzles of different sizes are available for the earbuds).

In-ear. An earpiece that, during use, is inserted deep into the ear canal and held there by a soft cap made of silicone or other similar material. These headphones are considered more advanced than earbuds: at lower volume (and less power consumption), they provide more powerful and rich sound. The unequivocal disadvantages of in-ear models include a higher cost. In addition, a high degree of sound insulation can create inconvenience: when using such headsets, ear is almost completely closed. On the other hand, it allows you to hear the sound well even in a rather noisy environment.
