The main appeal of true wireless earbuds is their portability. If you want audiophile grade earphones or headphones, you’ll have to look for something bigger. This is largely due to physics, where smaller headphones can only accommodate smaller drivers, which for the most part means less than stellar sound (we’re talking about consumer grade stuff, there are exceptions to this).

One of the problems with using headphones is that sometimes the sound can come across as being a bit one-dimensional. This is usually because of the size of headphones, where only so many drivers can be squeezed into such a small space, thus reducing its ability to create a soundstage that one might expect from a more traditional pair of speakers.
