The first microphone (132) is adapted to pick up sound internally from an ear canal of a user wearing the wireless earbud. The second microphone (134) is adapted to pick up sound externally from outside of the ear canal of the user wearing the wireless earbud. Disclosed is also a storage and charging capsule (200) for at least one wireless earbud (100a, 100b). The capsule has an elongate insert part (240) having an earbud chamber (246) adapted to receive the or each wireless earbud (100a, 100b). A cover part (260) slidably receives the elongate insert part (240) and is placeable in an open position in which the cover part is retracted from the elongate insert part to allow insertion/removal of the or each wireless earbud (100a, 100b) into/from the earbud chamber (246) of the elongate insert part (240). The cover part is also placeable in a closed position in which it encapsulates the elongate insert part. The storage and charging capsule (200) further has a power source (270), and a magnetic connector interface (257) in the earbud chamber (246) of the elongate insert part (240). The magnetic connector interface (257) is connected to the power source (270) and is adapted to engage with a respective at least one charge pad (101) of the earbud (100a, 100b) so as to secure the earbud (100a, 100b) in the earbud chamber and allow charging thereof by the power source (270).
