Some of the most important concerns for users include sound quality, battery life, wireless transmission capability and data latency. In terms of data, the wireless transmission capacity can basically meet the needs of the vast majority of users, while the sound quality and endurance capacity still have great potential for improvement.

In terms of structure and function, it can be divided into semi-open and closed. There are earplug type, hanging ear type, in-ear type and headwear type.
