• Matters if you need any of these features

Fit

• Full in-ear seals your ear canal with an ear tip for more bass and isolation
• Half in-ear rests in your outer ear without a seal, letting more sound in

App

• An app lets you adjust sound and controls and get updates
• Your earbuds work without an app too
• Only matters if you like to customize

Driver diameter

• The speaker's diameter in millimeters
• Bigger isn't always better: tuning shapes the sound

Microphone count

• Any version from 5.0 works for music and calls

Battery life per charge
