To tell the
truth, I feel naked without my
headphones when I listen to my
favorite music group or a song
from times long past. How about
you? Have you given your
headphones a hug
today?
The Many
Headphone Names
Headphones
are universally recognizable and
are known by such names as ear
phones, headsets, and stereo
sets. They can be plugged into
many audio devices such as
stereos, mp3 players, CD players,
the Walkman and a personal
computer via an output device
called a jack.
With all
these uses, headphones may seem
like a modern innovation, but
have actually been around since
the invention of the telephone.
However,
because of the weak signal, one
could barely hear the sound
frequency emitted from the
headset. Today, however, ear
phones are a sophisticated and
complicated device that have been
refined to give you a full, rich
listening experience.
Head phones
have one main function: to
enhance the music you love, and
deliver it to your ears as
conveniently as possible.
Convenience often takes a
backseat to technology, with the
consumer compromising their
personal lifestyle just to have
the comfort of the best
headphones.
Well, good
news is here! Manufacturers have
a diversity of headset styles to
accommodate your lifestyle. Canal
phones, Supra Aural phones, ear
buds, and Circumaural phones each
provide unique
benefits.
Canal
Phones Headphones
Canal
phones are the unsung heroes of
listening technology. Shaped like
thumbs, they are made from
silicone and fit snugly into the
ear. The main advantage of this
style is that the shape
completely blocks out any
background noise interference.
This is also safer, because
elevating volume in order to
remove background noise can lead
to temporary or permanent hearing
loss.
Common
Makes Of Headphones
Ear buds
are the most commonly used
headphones. Popularized in the
1990s, ear buds are just that
– electronic
“buds” that clip onto
the ear. Disadvantages include
interference with your
eyeglasses, and the fact that
outside noise is not completely
blocked out.
Curcumaural
phones are probably the most
luxurious of all the headpones.
Large, soft, and cushy, they
encompass the entire ear in a
noise-sealing pillow. These are
most commonly used in studio
recording, while some music
enthusiasts just love them for
their superior sound
quality.
Popular
Headphone Styles
Supra Aural
phones are the second most
commonly used phones. This is the
basic style that all of us can
remember from way back. A plastic
band, spanning over the head,
connects the ear phones.
These come
in two styles: over the head, and
back of the head. Back of the
head phones are best, because
they do not interfere with a
person's hair style.
So with all
the choices of head phones
available – canal phones,
ear buds, curcumaural, and supra
aural - there is sure to be a set
of headphones just right for you.
Now, take a moment and examine
yours? Are your headphones in
style or something ready for the
recycling plant? You decide ,,,
It's your music!
