Headphones

Headphones are a type of audio device that are worn over or in the ears to allow for private listening. They can be used with a variety of devices such as smartphones, computers, and music players. There are several different types of headphones available including in-ear, on-ear, and over-ear.

In-ear headphones, also known as earbuds, are small and sit inside the ear canal. They are portable and often come with a carrying case. They are often included with smartphones and other portable devices.

On-ear headphones sit on top of the ear and have a headband that goes over the head. They tend to be larger than in-ear headphones, but still portable. They can offer better sound quality than in-ear headphones but may not be as comfortable for long listening sessions.

Over-ear headphones completely cover the ears and have large ear cups. They are often preferred by audiophiles and professionals because they tend to provide the best sound quality and comfort. They can be wired or wireless and come in many styles, open back, closed back, noise cancelling, etc.

Headphones can also be classified based on their connectivity options, wired headphones connect to the audio source using a cable, while wireless headphones connect using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

It's important to consider the purpose of use, budget and personal preference when choosing a pair of headphones.
