Getting a good pair of earbuds can be a total game-changer. You can effortlessly pick up a work call on the go, crush your gym goals while rocking out to your favorite tunes or get some cleaning done around the house while immersing yourself in an interesting podcast. Earbuds make multitasking way more fun, and the benefits are endless. Before you pick yourself up a pair, read on for tips on how to choose the best Bluetooth earbuds for your lifestyle.

What’s Your Earbuds Budget?
Like all electronics, earbuds vary greatly in price and quality. So, it’s important to have an idea of how much you’d like to spend ahead of time. If you’re just looking for a knock-around pair you can wear to the gym and not worry about getting lost, you can get away with spending as little as $20-$30. However, if sound quality is important to you, or you’re looking for earbuds with a noise-canceling feature, you might have to spend at least $100.

What Will You Use Your Earbuds For?
Usage is another important consideration. If you’re an active person who’s always on the go, you’ll probably want true wireless earbuds that are sleek, streamlined and won’t get tangled up. Some athletes prefer earbuds that are joined together with a wire as opposed to separate in-ear wireless earbuds because there’s less chance for them to get lost when you’re doing pull-ups or lifting heavy weights. Avid runners know the best wired earbuds will sync up with their smart watch, so they can listen to tunes while tracking their pace.

What Earbud Accessories Will I Need?
Earbuds typically come with a charging cable or case, plus silicone tips in various sizes so you can find the right fit. You may want to peruse personalized earbud cases and cleaning kits to help keep your earbuds secure and sanitized.
