BUYING GUIDE for In-Ear-Headphone

Purchasing the right pair of headphones for you can be a bit of a daunting task, Here I am trying to give you info on them and deciding between in-ear, on-ear, or over-the-ear headphones is a crucial step in the process

Learn what is HEADPHONE

I mentioned that I was disturbed by the surrounding sound of an active headphone playing music. Our team decided to do a thorough analysis of available headphones and their specific features. We will talk about which type of headphones are best for you depending on your requirements. Headphones are like cars where you can really find your favorites and get locked into what you like.
To brush up a simple definition, headphones sometimes referred to as earphones are a hardware audio output device (pair of small speakers). They are plugged into your computer, smartphone, tablet etc. Headphones allow you to listen to audio or watch a movie without disturbing people in the vicinity. They are plug-and-play devices and do not require any sort of installation before use. In 1910 headphones were first created by U.S. Navy,.Early headphones were simple and were used as an earpiece device without complicated electronics.

TYPES OF HEADPHONES

There is a multitude of headphones configurations. Basically, there are three types of Headphones-in-ear, on-ear, or over-the-ear headphones
In-Ear Headphones-Also called earbuds or earphones or canal phones are one which inserts into the ear canal, or sits just outside, and provides sound and are extremely portable. They can be rolled up and stored in a case that’s very small or right into your pocket.They are one of the more popular forms of headphones. They isolate you from ambient noise. The idea here is a physical barrier between your ear and the offending sounds.
TODAY WE WILL DISCUSS IN-EARN HEADPHONES ALSO REFERRED MORE AS EARBUDS, EARPHONES.

COMFORTABILITY

Some people get tingling in the ear with such phones, others feel discomfort. Now some in-ear headphones come with foam ear tips instead of cheap common silicone. Foam ear tips are more comfortable. Some even offer adjustable fitting options by packing in three different sizes of tips for small, medium and large canals. This type of headphones can lead to general pain and discomfort for users whose ears are too small or aren’t shaped in the same way as the tips require for fitting in the canal. They can be very uncomfortable to wear for extended periods of time. I would suggest that you try a few different styles of ear tips (size, shape & tip material ) before buying any in-ear headphones.

NOISE CANCELLATION (Insulation of outside sound)

In-ear headphones have the ability to reject outside noise without any fancy algorithms or noise cancellation device. They simply can block out the noise by being properly inserted into the ear canal. Even high tech headphones cannot achieve this level of noise cancelation.

SOUND QUALITY

What we observed, the sound quality of in-ear headphones cannot be as good as any on-ear or over-ear model. They provide very minimal bass. Normally they are good for audio books as the quality of sound is not good when listing to good music having sound effects. They are just too small to give you the sound depth and quality that real audiophiles expect. I will not suggest to use them for complex music. However, In-Ear- Headphone transmission is free from any interference, as there is no blue tooth intermediate.
In Wired headsets, the journey of output audio is from source to headset. In wireless headphones, it is from Audio source-blue tooth coding-transmission-decoding-conversion-amplification-headset. These causes surround interference. There is audio latency in Bluetooth devices.

ADVANTAGE

1. To avoid outside noise, just wear them even without music. They help in reducing outside noise. They are good for frequent flyers. The comfort of carrying and reduction of aircraft and ding dong noise.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF IN-EAR- HEADPHONE

Earphones tend to deliver the music straight to the inner ears. Researchers have shown that using In-ear headphones over a long period can cause damage to hearing abilities. Try to keep music volume below the limit of 85dB ( about 60% of the max volume of earbuds) to save yourself from ear damages. Remember the small pop that appears when you plug in your earphones and increase the volume above 60%. Always follow the rule of 60/60. Maximum use for 60 minutes at 60% of volume.
