Types of headphones
There are loads of different types of headphones to choose from these days. And there’s something to suit all kinds of needs and budgets. Even cheap headphones can dish out stellar sound, while volume-limited kids headphones are safe and sturdy for the little ones.
Wireless headphones for cable-free listening
Can’t stand cables? Go for wireless headphones. These use Bluetooth to connect wirelessly to your phone, tablet or laptop — letting you stream audio straight to your ears. Whether it’s that podcast everyone’s talking about, or the latest album from your favourite artist. And you won’t get tangled up in any wires and cables either!
Some models even have touch controls so you can tweak your sound settings on the fly. Plus, many wireless Bluetooth headphones have built-in microphones that let you take phone or Teams calls. And you won’t even have to take them off to do it. Your nan or colleague should hear you loud and clear!
Over-ear headphones for everyday comfort
Over-ear headphones are great for the real music lovers out there. These feature large drivers that really ramp up the audio quality — giving you deep bass, a punchy mid-range, and crisp highs. They also come with large cushions that sit comfortably around your ears, so you can wear them for hours without feeling fatigue.
But most importantly of all, they’re some of the best at blocking out any annoying noise. So, you can travel, exercise, or work without any distractions.
On-ear headphones for all budgets
On-ear headphones sit on your ears instead of around them, which some people find a bit more comfortable. Because they don’t fully cover your ears, they’re ideal if you still want be aware of your surroundings during that morning commute or quick walk around the block.
They’re lightweight and usually have cool foldable headphone designs as well. So, you can easily tuck them away in a bag or a drawer when you’re not using them.
In-ear headphones for compact noise isolation
In-ear headphones (also called ‘earbuds’) are much smaller and more discreet than over-ear and on-ear headphones. But that doesn't mean they sound worse! In fact, earphones offer brilliant isolation as you put them straight into your ears rather than over them.
Their dinky size makes them perfect for listening on the move too. And you can easily pop a pair of wireless earphones back into their pocket-sized charging case when you’re not using them. Keeping them topped up so you'll never run out of battery when you're on the go.
Headphone features to look out for
If you need to block out the noise to get in the zone at the office or the gym, then noise-cancelling headphones are a great shout. Active noise-cancelling tech is now built into all kinds of headphones these days. And loads of them let you switch it on and off, so you can let the world back in whenever you need to.
Need some extra musical motivation while you’re working out? Sports headphones are made for you. Lots of running headphones come with ear clips and wingtips that’ll stop them from falling out. They also have excellent water and sweat resistance, so you won’t have to worry about damaging them during a sudden downpour. We know what the UK is like after all…
For the gamers out there, you can go for special gaming headsets instead. These will make your gaming sessions way more immersive — pumping up those big soundtracks and highlighting exactly where those shots are coming from. Perfect for getting the upper hand on your enemies. And with built-in mics, gaming headphones let you take command of your squad for a successful mission. Move out!
