This overview of current headphones will help you pick the right one from the overwhelming flood of styles and models of corded and wireless headphone products.
Headphones come in many styles and designs. The smallest type of headphones are so-called in-ear headphones. These headphones are plugged inside the ear. Some models have a bracket that wraps around the ear. In-ear headphones often come with iPods or MP3 players. They are light-weight. Also, they easily can be stored in your pocket. Another type of headphones which are larger than in-ear headphones sit on the ear and have an elastic frame which either sits on the head or wraps around the neck. If you are on a tight budget then you should consider one of these headphones, some models are designed to absorb external noise.
Medium-end headphones are an option if you are able to spend a little more and offer better sound quality. The earpieces have ear cushions to improve the wearing comfort. These ear cushions are either located on your ear or around your ear. Many people prefer the second type since there is no pressure on the ears. If you feel you would like to go with this type of headphones, you will then need to decide whether to go with an open, semi-open or closed design. An open design means that the audio can penetrate from the transducer to the outside and also cross-couple into the other earpiece. While some people feel that an open design sounds light, a closed design will tend to absorb exterior noise more and provide better insulation between the two earpieces.
Most of today's headphones are so-called dynamic headphones. Dynamic refers to the type of transducer that is used. The second more expensive type which requires special headphone amplifiers are static headphones.
Wireless headphones are another option to consider when choosing headphones. Wireless headphones cut the headphone cord and afford total freedom of movement. Bluetooth headphones are one type of wireless headphones and work with Bluetooth-enabled devices and cell phones. The range of Bluetooth headphones is typically less than 30 ft and the sound quality does not rival the quality of corded headphones.
Other wireless headphones include inexpensive 900 MHz models which use FM transmission and more advanced digital wireless headphones which work at 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz. In addition to noticeable hissing and distortion, FM type wireless headphones are also very susceptible to wireless interference.
Another type of wireless headphones are digital wireless headphones. This type of headphones, such as Amphony headphones, will encode the audio prior to transmission which prevents any audio distortion during the transmission and ensures high reliability against interference. Digital wireless headphones which work at the less crowded 5.8 GHz frequency band have fewer problems with competing wireless devices than headphones working at 2.4 GHz.
