• Volume Control:

  • Volume control refers to the buttons on the earbuds that allow the wearer to adjust the volume without changing the volume on the main device.

• Sound Proof:

  • This refers to earbuds that block out any ambient noise and allow for the full experience of whatever you are doing, such as watching a show on your computer or jamming to music whilst cleaning.

• Ear Attachments:

  • These are attachments on the earbud that wrap around the ear and prevent the earbuds from falling out.

• Pause/Play Buttons:

  • This is a nice feature which allows the user to pause and play the music or whatever media they are listening to by pausing the main device.

• Call Features:

  • Some earbuds also have small microphones in them, allowing you to take a phone call and for the person talking to you to able to hear you clearly.

• Neck Band:

  • This is a band to which the two earbuds are connected which goes around the back of your neck. This prevents the earbuds from falling off or getting lost.

Here Are a Few Tips To Get The Most Out Of Your Earbuds

• How to Clean the Earbuds:

  • Things you need:

    • Dish soap

    • Q tips

    • A toothbrush used for cleaning

    • Rubbing alcohol

    • Alcohol wipes

  • If you have silicone tips:

    • Take off the silicone covers and soak in a dish with warm water and dish soap.

  • Cleaning your earbud:

    • Take the toothbrush and whilst holding the earbud mesh facing downward, gently brush the wax away. Make sure to keep it face-down so that wax can come out and not go deeper into the earbud.

    • If there is still some ear wax that you cannot get out, dip a Q tip into the rubbing alcohol, shake the excess off and wipe away the rest of the earwax with the Q tip.

    • Lastly, just to keep the whole earbud clean, wipe it down with the alcohol wipes. Alcohol dries very quickly so you don’t have to worry about it going into the earbud.

• What to do to keep your earbuds from breaking:

  • Keep your earbuds in a case, loosely wrapped in circles.

  • Always unplug the earbuds from your device after you are finished using it so that no one will trip over it, or yank it out of its input, which can damage the jack.

  • When unplugging your earbuds, pull on the jack or plug and not on the cable, so as to not damage the wires inside.

  • Don’t carry your earbuds in your pocket. They can easily get becoming hearing and may cause the speakers inside the earbuds to blow.

  • Like any other electronic device, it is important to keep your earbuds away from liquids, as they are not waterproof and can sustain damage.

  • Don’t sleep while wearing your headphones.  Moving in bed or rolling over can break the wires or snap the earbud piece itself.
