Everyone has had those earbuds. The ones you need to put in your ear back in college and had them cause an immediate earache for just about no reason. Those earbuds were always uncomfortable and now, the days seem to be gone where you don't have to purchase anything, go anywhere, and just be out on the town wearing them.

With this, the booming music of the portable devices and connected to them now is a thing that is ubiquitous because of all the choices, as well as accessibility technology, offers with the release of the iPhone 6s or Samsung's Note 5. With the looming challenges of an everchanging society and the cultural changes taking place, these Bluetooth earbuds provide a perfect solution to deliver sound while on the go.

List of Riding Earbuds

FOCUSPOWER F10 Mini Bluetooth Earbud

FOCUSPOWER is the choice for anybody who wants the best quality bass paired with a sleek design that will blend in. The SiriusXM option is a brilliant change from the bad out there of not being able to listen to any music station with the same battery life as competitors. The option to download an app with Pandora streaming sounds like a major perk that allows for extended usage.

After a little bit of searching on Amazon, the only type of earbuds that haven't been found are any of the truly wireless earbuds, but all the other types are available. The best quality earbuds are what make this voice set sound amazing for everyone who uses them. There is no better option than this technology today in the market. No iPod or Bluetooth speaker system can produce the amount of tone these buds can, giving you more than just the chance to get to know your listening experience and giving you one less item to carry to and from a destination.

Pros:

  • The design is surprisingly neat.
  • Technology is how much you put in your ears.
  • The car’s auxiliary systems are a little nice.
  • The noise-canceling is outstanding and they are great for productivity
  • The sound quality of the available brands is outstanding.

Cons:

  • The prices of the brands that offer the headphones and models are high.

Shure SE215-K Sound Isolating Earphones

With an in-ear design and 40mm drivers, Shure SE215-K are two pairs of headphones that hit a home run on the audio spectrum. The SE215-K features a noise-canceling element to help block out unwanted noises. It was also super comfortable wearing these headphones for the duration of our tests. These cans won't just appeal to audiophiles. They're great for the office too.

If you're working from home and the noise in the office gets to be a nuisance, these earbuds will help you absorb the noise. Pair these cans with any pair of small noise-canceling earbuds to get the most out of these cans. The features of these headphones are strong and the sound quality is to die for. These headphones will sound great with a variety of music formats.

The highest quality sounds are only available in the AAC format. Unfortunately, there isn't a balanced pairing option but you should be able to play it with some pretty basic music formats. If you're going to get some headphones for playing music and aren't really in a hurry, these will be great. These will only heat up if your ears are warm or cold. Since you're not sitting in a hot room, it's a great option.

Pros:

  • Best sound quality
  • Beautiful design
  • Active noise cancellation technology

Cons:

  • No balanced pairing option

Betron YSM1000 Earbuds:

I have tried several earbuds in the past, with varied results. This is why I decided to give this series of earbuds ago: because they are my first attempt to use a pair of wired earbuds as a pair of wireless earbuds. I have to say, I am very happy with them, and I like how they sound. The earbuds are enclosed by a thick, flexible ear seal, ensuring the back of the earpads doesn't scratch when using it as a pair of wireless earbuds.

This only improves the performance of the earbuds as they sound better. The earbuds are also comfortable. The earphones are highly comfortable. I was wearing them for around 45 minutes before I even noticed my arms were warmer than usual. I thought I was wearing comfy clothes and that I was just stretching my arms a little extra.

All things considered, the earbuds sound great and they don't have any frills that will make them uncomfortable when wearing them. The earbuds run for around 10 hours on a charge, which is good. I use my earbuds to listen to podcasts on my computer or to consume background noise at work, so I feel they're going to last a long time. Also, they are truly wireless.

Pros:

  • Comfortable to wear
  • Perfect sound quality
  • Excellent battery life

Cons:

Audio-Technica ATH-ANC23 Noise-Cancelling In-Ear Headphones:

If you're looking for a pair of noise-canceling headphones that also sound good, this $99 pair from Audio-Technica is a great value. We've seen them for twice the price but they do have some decent quality. The drivers aren't quite as sensitive as many other noise-canceling models, but if you're sensitive to noise, that's no problem.

Sound quality for some headphones is subjective and independent. For some headphones, better is better, and for others, the subpar sound quality won't sway you away from buying them. That said, the sound quality of ATH-ANC23 is good overall, even with their very affordable price tag. You'll likely need something like these if you like listening to music with a noise-canceling device over the speaker.

If you own an iPod or other portable device, you're probably using your audio device with the noise-canceling headphones on. You need something like this if you're listening to music while traveling. One of the comfier cables on ATH-ANC23 comes from a speaker that also includes a USB-C port. This means you'll be able to plug your USB-C-only headphones directly into a laptop or another portable device via a cable.

Pros:

  • Excellent sound quality
  • Built-in mic
  • Airline plug adapter included

Cons:

  • Awkward cable length

Conclusions:

If you are looking for a nice pair of earbuds that are comfortable and great-sounding, then the above-mentioned earbuds are a good pair of buds that are widely available from various retailers. I thought these earbuds sound great, which is something I don't usually see in the value-for-money set! The sizing and fit of these earbuds are perfect, and they're small enough to wear for an extended period. If you're looking for earbuds that are medium to expensive, they're decent. With a good pair of earbuds, you're able to have a great day.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
