What is a Mobile Phone Earphone?

Most of us love to have Streamyx mobile phone but sometimes we get irritated by keeping it all the times close to our ears, even if we are busy in other activities like driving, cooking etc. Keeping this in view, the mobile industry introduced mobile phone earphone that brings a feeling of mobility to the users of mobile phones. With the help of an ear phone, you can talk while keeping both your hand busy in any other activity.

Mobile phone earphones are nothing but tiny speakers that are connected to your mobile phone with the help of flexible cable of good length. It allows you to talk without requiring you to hold your mobile phone. So your mobile phone can be inside your pocket while you talk. The earphone is also sometimes referred to as earpiece and it is accompanied by a small microphone that is usually positioned close to your mouth.

There are various designs available for mobile phone earpiece. Each and every design gives a new way of holding the earpiece at its place. The most famous and successful design is called as over-the-ear earphones as it has a small loop that goes over the top of the ear, giving it a good grasp over your ear. Some earpieces come with a foam wind cover over them or even plastic cover. It all depends upon your personal liking. Most of the earpieces can be used at either ear.

Another very common style for earpieces is called as the ear bud-style that fit a bit loosely into the ears of the user. Don't worry; it won't enter the ear canal. This type of earphone gives very clearly voice since there is hardly any blocking; so it is ideal for places where the environment is noisy. The drawback of using ear-bud is that they can fall off easily since they are loosely fitted inside the ear.

Some mobile phone headsets come with soft rubber tip earphone that fits comfortably in the ear canal. This type is almost similar to the ear-bud type but it is less likely to pop out during your conversation which makes sometimes annoyed.

There are few mobile manufacturing companies who are working on other types of earphones as well; based on latest technology and are trying to make universal earphone that fit to all mobile phones i.e., one fits all.
