The most basic of the basic are wired earbuds. While these were the norm several years ago, they have become something of a fun, nostalgic throwback now that we have become far more wireless with our devices thanks to Apple’s removal of the input for an auxiliary cable in its devices. If these are the headphones you still wish to use, though, the best option, according to Consumer Reports, is the 1MORE Triple Driver earbuds, which currently go for $79.99.
Although they seem simple, these are THX-certified earbuds. Not only that, they were the first to get that certification, so if you were worried about poor sound quality, you don’t have to worry about that much. Along with many different silicone tips to change out on the buds to best fit your ear, one of the great features that comes with these headphones is an adapter that allows you to plug them into an airplane that has those odd double outlets for headphones, which usually meant you had to buy a pair from the airline. Bluetooth headphones may be more the norm now, but on an airplane, having a pair of wired headphones can be a godsend depending on the in-flight entertainment. The 1MORE Triple Driver earbuds aren’t flashy or high-tech, but if you just need a simple way to listen to your music, it’s a good option for a low price.
