On the subway, during a trip to work, on the street, in a cafe, at the university on a pair - headphones have become an almost indispensable device for a modern person.
Good headphones can't be cheap
Headphones are a device for personal listening to music and other acoustic signals. The most important thing when choosing headphones is sound quality and comfort of use. These factors are mainly guided by buyers, going to the store for headphones.
It is worth remembering that the sound quality is determined precisely by the quality of the headphones, and not by the device that transmits music, as is often believed. Be aware that headphones purchased with a portable listening device such as a music player are likely to be of inferior quality. This is due to the fact that if the manufacturer applies, for example, to a mobile phone or a player, headphones of the highest quality, then the cost of the entire set as a whole should increase significantly. And this, in turn, can negatively affect the quality of sales. To prevent this from happening, the manufacturer equips its device with inexpensive headphones. This means that you should not expect high-quality sound, and therefore it is better to change the headphones right away.
Remember, good earbuds that guarantee high quality sound cannot cost £ 300. Even if there is a well-known brand on the package. This is most likely a fake that not only will not last long, but may also harm your hearing. By the way, those who are worried about hearing loss due to the use of headphones should not choose in-ear headphones and earplugs. In such devices, sound directly enters the ear canal, bypassing the auricle. It is she who serves as a sound amplifier. Therefore, with prolonged use of such headphones, partial hearing loss is possible.
Better to hear
When choosing headphones, the buyer should adhere to the rule “it is better to hear once than to see a hundred times”, that is, be sure to ask the seller to let you listen to the headphones. At the same time, make sure they are working properly. It is not necessary to delve into the tricky numbers on the packaging that determine the frequency and other characteristics, it is much more important to directly test the purchased product "in action". If during testing you notice hiss or other extraneous sounds, then you should not take such headphones.
If you prioritize convenience over sound, choose in-ear headphones. They take up little space and can be easily hidden under the hairdo. In addition, there are original models with a neat thin rim or two. Such models perfectly pick up low frequencies.
Recently, battery-powered wireless earbuds have gained popularity. Of course, the lack of a wire is a plus in terms of moving around with headphones. However, remember that wired devices transmit sound better. Also, when choosing wireless models, be prepared to change their batteries regularly.
