Shopping for Headphones
From great-looking Beats headphones that express your style to comfortable Sennheiser headphones that offer pleasant private listening sessions, there are virtually hundreds of headsets on the market made to suit different types of users. They typically come in two styles: in-ear buds and over-ear cans. In-ear buds fit inside the ear canal, and are typically adjustable to fit different sizes. Over-ear cans are larger than the ears and rest over them. Some of the popular brands include Audio-Technica, Sony, Sennheiser, and Bose headphones.
What Are Studio Monitor Headphones Used For?
Studio headphones have wide, flat frequency responses and very low distortions to produce neutral and accurate sound. They're usually used by professional sound engineers and editors to achieve the precise sound needed for songs, films, and other important audio files. Due to the clarity and ability to produce personalized sound, serious audiophiles love them, too. The comfortable and heavy-duty build can last through hundreds of professional sessions. Most AKG headphones are specifically designed for studio monitoring, as they come with a range of features, such as noise isolation and noise canceling, which help professionals listen to audio more clearly.
How to Choose the Best Stereo Headphones
Different types of headsets work for different applications. For example, gaming headsets bring out the best in your gaming experience, while DJ headsets are perfect for listening to music. Several headphone variations exist, including in-ear, on-ear, and over-ear, each better suited for certain situations. Over-ear sets are the most popular designs for traveling and casual listening. In-ear models are perfect for the gym and outdoor activities, while on-ear headsets are ideal for users looking for comfort, but in a more compact form than the over-ear models.
When choosing a stereo headphone, consider convenient features such as wireless connectivity, noise cancellation, and smart features. Just like mobile Bluetooth speakers, wireless headsets are made for people who cherish flexibility and do a lot of listening on the go. Noise-cancellation sets are suitable for long subway commutes and flights.
Do Bluetooth Headphones Reduce Audio Quality?
Bluetooth is designed with narrow bandwidth, which applies data compression to an audio signal. With this limited bandwidth, it's impossible to transmit sound without compromising at least a little quality, which is nearly impossible to detect. Nonetheless, while Bluetooth is made for users who want flexibility and peace of mind by removing lengthy and tangled wires from earpieces, the sound quality is still up to par.
How Do Noise-Canceling Headphones Work?
These headsets have miniature microphones in the earpiece that collect surrounding loud noise. The electronics in the earpiece create a noise-canceling enclave that's 180 degrees out of phase with the noise. This erases the clatter without diminishing the audio you actually want to hear.
With offerings from many popular brands including Yamaha, Pioneer, and Skullcandy headphones, B&H Photo and Video features a wide range of state-of-the-art headsets to meet the needs of different users.
