The Earbuds That People With Small Ears Have Been Waiting For

by Lisa Fogarty

You love music, but earbud manufacturers don't seem to know it yet. Each time you buy earbuds, they last exactly five seconds in your ear before popping out or starting to bother you. If this scenario is all too relatable, discovering the best earbuds for small ears is the solution to all of your problems.

Many earbuds seem to come in one size and one size only — extra huge. At least that's how they feel when you have small ears and would give anything to be able to run a mile while listening to music without having to adjust your earphones every thirty seconds. But more and more manufacturers are becoming aware of this issue and are responding by offering earbuds that come with tips in various sizes (even extra small, bless their hearts).

These highly rated earbuds boast features that make them comfortable for small ears and also offer great audio and microphone technology that allows you to listen to music for hours before a charge is necessary. Some of these earbuds are under $30 and won't break the bank, while others have technological enhancements that you may find are well worth the extra cost. Whatever your budget, all of these earbuds are high quality, comfortable, and perfect for smaller ears.
