Currently, you rarely see a person who is indifferent to music. In this regard, portable players are firmly established in people's pockets, and such a wide selection of headphones often puts them into a stupor and seems an overwhelming task. Each of us determines for himself the priority properties. It is they who will influence the choice of headphones in the first place. For some, this is pure sound, for some, noiselessness, and for someone, external data will be much more important. This article will help to understand this issue in more detail and protect against possible errors when buying such devices.
Classification
The type of headphones is divided into closed and, accordingly, open, which actually means their design. The closed type is characterized by high quality sound insulation, such headphones do not miss almost any extraneous sounds from the outside, which is especially true for home or work, when several people are in the room. The diametrically opposite situation is with an open type headset . Including there are half-open headphones, the so-called "golden mean". They will be the best choice for portable devices, because when moving around the street you need to hear the world around you, and the low level of extraneous noise does not distract from the process of enjoying music or watching a movie. Moreover, it is believed that the sound in this type of audio device is more natural due to the wide stereo panorama.
In the assortment of manufacturers there are headphones in conjunction with a microphone, which is especially true for those people who practice communication using voice communication. Such a microphone should not be used as a sound recording, since rather weak technical characteristics will not bring a decent result.
Separately, we need to talk about monitor headphones, which are designed to work with sound, because they transmit it simply “naked”, that is, in an undistorted form. For a simple listener, this sound will seem too flat and not designed. The choice of monitor-type headphones will be of interest primarily to professionals whose field of activity is related to the recording of sound and its attendant control in post-processing.
Commutation
Special attention should be paid directly to the cord from the headset, whose durability is directly affected by its thickness - the more the better. The length of the cord is selected individually according to their needs. In that case, if in practice it turns out that the length is not enough, you can purchase an extension cord with a similar plug for a relatively low cost.
The choice of wireless headphones is no different from the process of acquiring its "relatives". The difference is the lack of a cord, which is clear from the name.
To summarize
The choice of headphones for a computer or TV does not oblige you to adhere to any strict rules when buying. It is important to try on this “headgear” and evaluate comfort, especially if you have to spend quite a lot of time in the headphones. They should not press or press, as this can cause headaches. As you can see, the choice of headphones is not very difficult, although it must be approached with all seriousness.
