People have additional names: inserts, buttons, plugs.
These are compact devices that are inserted directly into the ear. Suitable for sports.
Main disadvantages

Let's talk more about modern AirPods models, which practically do not have these shortcomings, below.
The second type is invoices
The cups are placed on the ear canal, but do not cover it completely, and are supported by soft arches.
Reference! The arches are adjustable in size, and there are folding structures.
Usually this is a budget segment, the most successful option for headphones in terms of price and quality.
The third type is full-size
Monitor headphones, as they are also called, completely cover the auricle, tightly adjacent to the head. Therefore, the sound is more spacious and clear. Suitable for true lovers of good sound.
For a model of such headphones on the market they ask a good price, but they are worth it.
IMPORTANT! For audio devices, the following ratio is relevant: the more weight, the better the sound.
They are divided into two varieties.
- Open type. There are holes that allow external sounds to pass through. Therefore, their sound insulation is lower. It is in demand among music lovers for its natural sound and more comfortable use.

Wireless headphones for your phone
The most common (more than 98% of all devices) method of data transmission in wireless headphones is Bluetooth technology. Such a headset is relevant at a distance of up to 100 m. To connect, it must be supported by both devices. The first transmission begins with the exchange of indication numbers, further ones will begin automatically. This does not affect the sound quality. This occurs through the use of a set of codecs that compress and then decode the signal.
