Best In-Ear Headphones

Check out the best in-ear headphones, as rated by Digital Trends' expert reviewers.

 In the beginning, in-ear headphones looked far more convenient and chic than they actually were; the thought of having your favorite music delivered directly into your ear canal seemed like a step up. After all, with traditional headphones, your ears would sweat and the band would flatten a thin strip of your hair, a look not exactly conducive to cool. Still, in-ear headphones, or earbuds, as they’re commonly called, had their own issues. They’d slip out every time you swiveled your head and break easily under any kind of duress. Luckily, just as the MP3 players we listen to have advanced since then, so too have the headphones we listen with. Nowadays, in-ear headphones are durable and stay in your ear long enough to deliver high-quality sound. They’ve become a practical choice for exercisers, professionals on the go, and students that want to listen on the sly. Here’s our list of the ten best models currently on the market:
