Which Are the Best Headphones For You
Which Are the Bestmp3 headphones For You?There are 4 basic types of headphones:
Circumaural: Have circular earpads that go all the way around your ears. They are completely seated against your head so they drown out most external sounds. These can weigh over one pound, so it is important that this has a good design of the headband and earpad. A good choice that we recommend is the Sennheiser Over the Ear Headphones – PX360.
Supra-aural: These have pads that are positioned over the tops of your ears, not around the whole ear. These are smaller and lighter, and do not drown out as much outside noise. A model to consider is the Sennheiser Light Weight Spura-Aural Headphones – PX100III.
Open or closed back: Open back have the ear cups in the back open and exposed. This lets out more sound from your headphones, and lets in more outside sounds. This will provide you with a natural sound or even more like speakers. The closed back style has ear cups that are closed. They block some outside noise, but they give an impression that the sound is almost coming from inside your head. We recommend the Samson CH70 Closed-Back Studio Headphones – SACH70.
In ear: These are much smaller and are put right outside of your ear canal. These are not expensive and are favored because they are portable and convenient. They do not prevent outside noises from entering your ears, so they are played at higher volumes. The risk of hearing loss is greater with these headphones. These are the most popular with most MP3 players. People who exercise with musical devices like in ear because they are light and are not generally affected by perspiration. For in ear, we think you should try the Koss Sportclip Clip-On Headphones – KSC-22.
One thing you should remember wii remote and nunchuck is that if you use your headphones at a very loud level, you could suffer permanent hearing loss. Some makers have tried to put safety devices in their products that would reduce volume or provide a warning that the volume is too loud. The public generally has not accepted this technology. In France, the government has actually enacted a volume limit on all MP3 players. They should not be able to provide more than 100 decibels of volume.
