@AjayThacker I tried earbuds, too but found a different problem. Earbuds work like regular headphones and use air (or any other environment you'll put it into) as a medium when transferring sound. This results in a very annoying sound change when earbuds go in/out of the water and I found it particularly irritating when I was breathing on one side during freestyle so one ear was out of the water, and the other was submerged. Also, changing the pressure inside the ear will affect the way the audio sounds. Bone conduction headphones work differently as they don't transfer sound through air/water so change of medium isn't affecting sound that much. However, bone conduction won't provide great sound quality when it comes to music as ears are open so other sounds come in, too. I use bone-conduction headphones for other activities, too, due to safety (and many race organizers banned regular headphones for the same reasons), so I got used to how it sounds. I rarely listen to music on BC but rather podcasts or audiobooks. It depends on your swimming technique, if you do it keeping your head mainly above the water then earbuds may work for you (they would also serve as earplugs) but if you swim proper ie. freestyle or breaststroke when ears go underwater then BC is a better solution. The sound may not be at "audiophile level" but would be consistent regardless of being above/under water.
