Market Overview:
The global earbud headphones market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for portable devices and growing trend of wireless headphones. In terms of type, the wired headphones segment is expected to dominate the global earbud headphones market during the forecast period.

Product Definition:
Earbud headphones are a type of headphones that fit into the ear canal and cover only the outer ear. They are often used by people who are active, as they do not fall out of the ears as easily as other types of headphones. Earbuds also provide good noise isolation, meaning that outside sounds are not as audible when the music is playing.
Wired Headphones:
Wired headphones are those that have a wire connecting the left and right earpieces. The majority of modern wired headphones are designed with flat, thin, flexible cables; these tend to be less expensive than their counterparts with round or curved cables. They also provide better sound quality due to the absence of background noise interference from electrical disturbances caused by other devices in the vicinity (such as cell phones).
Wireless Headphones:
Wireless headphones are headphone that uses radio frequency (RF) for wireless communication. The main objective of using such type of headphones is to free the cord and be able to move around while using the headphone. Wireless technology has been evolving rapidly, with many new innovations being added daily. In addition, there have been some advancements in technologies such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi that add up to market growth potential over the forecast period.
