Finding the Right Headphones

There are many models of headphones to suit different needs and different budgets. This lens will help you find the best portable headphones for your ipod or mp3 player, home listening cordless headsets, audiophile studio cans and DJ earphones.

Pro Studio Headphones 

Professional open air headphones are known for providing the most accurate sound reproduction. Open headphones have an open grille on the back of the driver, exposing the driver to the outside, and allowing the sound waves to propagate away from the ear freely. This backing type does not isolate the listener from outside sounds; in addition, sound through open headphones can be easily heard by others in the vicinity of the user (not always a desirable quality). They, however, usually have less sound distortion (due to the lack of resonance) and tighter controlled sound reproduction. Most audiophile-quality headphones are open headphones.

Noise Cancelling Headphones 

Block out the distracting sounds of the city or relax on the airplane with these remarkable noise canceling headphones.

Noise-canceling headphones reduce unwanted ambient ambient noise by means of active noise control. This involves placing a microphone near the ear and using electronic circuitry to generate a sound wave with the opposite polarity of the sound wave arriving at the microphone. The result is destructive interference which cancels out the noise within the enclosed volume of the headphone.

Keeping noise low at the ear makes it possible to enjoy music without raising the volume unnecessarily. It can also help a passenger sleep in a noisy vehicle such as an airliner.
