However, we made sure to avoid cheap earbuds with mics that offer absolutely no value. What we’ve selected at any end of the price range will offer you value for your money. This you can be sure of.

There are few things that we need to consider when choosing earbuds with mics. We will list a few of these things here for closer consideration to make it easier to choose earbuds that are best for you. These factors include:

• Style
• Comfort
• Corded / wireless
• Noise cancelation or isolation
• Material
• Easy access to the controls
• Aesthetics
• Extra features (sweat-proof, etc.)
• Battery life
• Customer service

Let us look at how these affect the use of these earbuds with mics.

One of the first things you’ll need to consider when getting earbuds with a mic is the style. The style that’s best for you will depend on certain factors, such as the use you want to put it to and the receptiveness of your ear canal. If you use your earbuds while working out, or your ear canal doesn’t allow ear buds to stay in, then you’ll surely need something that fits securely, perhaps with ear hooks.

Another feature you’ll need to consider if you work out or run with your earbuds is how susceptible they are to sweat. Some earbuds are sweat-proof so you can use them and not have to worry about the effect of your sweat on them. You also do not have to worry if you’re running and it starts raining.

Choosing between a cordless and a wireless earbud is very much a personal decision. Most people who make constant calls like the freedom of walking around without having to carry the phone. Decide what works best for you. If you go for a wireless earbud, check for the battery life, the Bluetooth quality and range, and its compatibility with your device(s). Some earbuds will connect with multiple devices so you can easily switch between them, while others only connect to one device at a time.

There’s a big difference between noise cancellation and noise reduction or isolation. Noise isolation simply refers to the effect of the earbuds blocking out the external sound. However, noise cancellation uses an electronic part that generates noise on the same frequency as what is external, thereby canceling the external noise – but these usually cost a little more and require a power source. So, if what you need is to be fully cut off from external sound, you need to go for a noise-cancelling earbud.

The material the earbud is made of is also an important factor to consider for obvious reasons. The higher the quality of materials used, the higher the quality of the earbud. In some cases, the material used is meant to improve the audio quality. The material used is also easily tied to how good the earbud looks, which is a major determinant for some people.

Aside from good looks and quality, the material used in conjunction with the design can determine how comfortable wearing the earbud will be. This is especially true for users who have their earbuds on for hours. The best way to verify how comfortable the one you’re considering is, is by looking at what other users are saying about its comfort level.

Earbuds are generally very portable and therefore can easily be lost or mistakenly damaged. Some earbud manufacturers have added extra features that ensure the increased safety of the earbuds. One of such is the magnetic feature that holds earbuds together. When not in use, you simply hang them around your neck and then hold the earbuds together with the attached magnet so they hang safely out of danger’s way.

Many users complain of the awkward positioning of some controls, as well as the difficulty in easily using the controls. Look for a control that’s situated conveniently for you and the use you want to put it to. Also ensure the controls are easy for you to use.

After all the features and quality have been fully examined, one thing that can increase the fulfillment you experience is the customer service. A great customer service can make an experience that would have been horrible, a memorable one. Check the reviews for reports on the customer service.
