What to check before buying earbuds

• Fit: they should sit comfortably for an hour.
• Battery: look at both earbud life and case life.
• Microphone quality for calls.
• Connection stability and Bluetooth version (5.0 or higher).
• Water resistance (IPX4 or better) if you use them in the gym.
• Warranty and a return option in case one bud fails.

Test with music and a call in the shop if you can.
