Audio brands are creating clip-on earbuds for enhanced comfort and reliability
Trend - Audio brands are releasing earbuds with non-invasive clip-on designs. These earbuds are designed to be worn by those who find earbuds often slip out of their ears due to physical activity or ear canal size mismatches. Additionally, the clip-on design leaves the ear canal open for surrounding noise.
Insight - Modern lifestyles have led to nearly every consumer wearing earbuds or headphones for numerous reasons, such as entertainment during commutes, solutions for work calls, or to enhance daily workouts. However, many of these consumers find earbuds uncomfortable or unreliable, as physical activity, or even just walking, can lead to earbuds falling out. In order to address the needs of these consumers, or those who want to hear environmental noise, brands are releasing non-invasive clip-on earbuds.
