How to choose in-ear headphones in the price/quality ratio?

Quality sound, high portability, the ability to block out street noise - that's why in-ear headphones are valued. They are used both in everyday life and in certain professional matters: for example, audio engineers and musicians performing on stage.

Consider the following nuances when choosing:

• There are 3 types of transducers: armature (with a balanced armature), dynamic (with a moving coil) and hybrid. The first ones are more suitable for those who like classical music, the second ones reproduce the bass better, the hybrid ones convey the overall sound scene well.
• The ear cushions can be made of foam, silicone or rigid acrylic. The foam ones adjust to the anatomical shape of the ear better than the others.
• The wired models transmit sound better than the wireless ones.
• Mounting is behind-the-ear, behind-the-ear and tongue.
