Formats

Formatos

There are four types of headphones:

  • Headphones: These are the headphones that fit into the ear canal. These devices tend to be the cheapest and lightest models. The downside is that they generally have inferior acoustic insulation compared to others.
  • In-ear: format that is inserted inside the ear, they offer better acoustic isolation than earphones. However, they can be more uncomfortable for some people.
  • Over-ear headphones: The type of headphones that rest on the ears offers the best acoustic isolation, but they are also heavy and bulky.
  • On-ear: These headphones rest on the ears, but do not cover their entire circumference. They offer intermediate acoustic isolation, between earphones and over-earphones.

Exercise time 

Are you going to work out hard at the gym or simply go for a run in the park? So you need a water-resistant headset, as you will sweat. Furthermore, it cannot hinder your movements. A wireless headphone that delivers powerful bass and a stable connection is a great option for you.

In this scenario, you need an audio accessory that has a great driver for clear, detailed sounds, as well as a Bluetooth 5.1 connection and a long-lasting battery. The shape that makes your ear most comfortable will determine which device you choose.

Are you going to make music?

A good headphone for music production is important for mixing and mastering your songs. These devices are called reference headphones because they must have a flat frequency response. In other words, reproducing sounds faithfully to their origin. 

Therefore, you must observe some factors when choosing a headphone to produce music, such as frequency response, impedance, sensitivity and comfort. Headphones from the AKG and Audio-Technica brands are a reference in the area of music production. This is because in addition to being affordable, they offer a good frequency response and comfort.

Every gamer should know what to look for in the specs of their next headset. So, if you're a little lost in this, we'll help you. To choose the perfect gaming headset, consider the type of device, over-ear or in-ear, and prioritize the audio and microphone quality.

Furthermore, it is important for the device to have good noise isolation and be comfortable during long gaming sessions. And don't forget to pay attention to the drivers, the components that produce the sound. Gaming headsets typically have 50mm or larger drivers, which deliver powerful, immersive sound.

Headphones for everyday life
