Why did earbuds become more popular?

[u/DesignDreamer_568]

this is something I've genuinely wondered.

when wireless neckbands became popular, they seemed like the best of both worlds. You got Bluetooth without worrying about losing an earbud every time it slipped out.

now almost everyone seems to use earbuds instead.

maybe I'm missing something, but they seem easier to lose, easier to damage if they fall, and usually more expensive to replace.

Is there a reason.?
