If you're looking to get a really good pair of noise cancelling headphones, then this is the article you need to read. To begin with we will be taking a look at the differences between earbud earphones and over-the-ear headphones. then we will list the key features you need to look for in a new pair of headphones. We will end the article with a look and the major brads and the products they have to offer.
Ear Buds vs Over-the-Head Headphones
Obviously the main benefit to choosing the ear bud style of headphone is that they are small and easy to carry around with you. This makes them a great choice for people who are on the move a lot. The major problem you will tend to find with the earbud style of earphones is that they don't tend to be very good with the bass end of the sound spectrum.
Over-the-ear headphones are bigger and clunkier than earbuds, making them less convenient for travelling. The good thing is though, with higher-end models, they tend to be foldable, which partly eliminates the travelling problem; and it has to be said, the sound quality is a lot better with this type of headphones, especially with the higher-end models.
Features to Look for in No-noise Headsets
Noise Reduction: check the noise reduction capability of the headphones, if you want the true noise-cancelling experience. Some are better than others, so compare this against various models, and also look to see what previous customers have to say.
Comfort: your headphones should be comfortable to wear, so check what previous customers have to say about this.
Weight & Foldability: if you're planning to use your headphones for travelling, for example on air plane flights, then you will want them to be nice and light. You will also want them to be easily foldable.
Sound Quality: you don't just want your headphones to be good at cutting out external sound. It is also important that they are able to reproduce good quality sound.
Cord Length: how far away from the sound source are you likely to want to be? If you're going to be on a train with your MP3 player then you don't need a long cord, but if you're planning to lay on your bed far away from your TV and watch late night TV shows with your headphones then the cord needs to be long.
