A new set of the headphones is probably the most rewarding iPod upgrade you can make, find the perfect set, the different types of headphones on market, their pros and cons and for the same of the best model at various prices.
Earbuds
Earbuds sit loosely in your outer ears, although earbuds don’t produce particularly outstanding sound, they’re compact and relatively inexpensive, sennheiser MX 460 and MX560 respectively and V-Mode Remix M-Class.
In ear canal headphones
These headphones also know as canal phones fit snugly and fairly deep in your canals, like earplugs, they block most external noise, so they’re great for travel and noisy environments; they’re also capable of producing stunning audio quality.
On the other hand same people find them uncomfortable and the best ones comes with an equally stunning price tag, ultimate ears super.fi 3 studios, etymotic research ER-4P micropro.
Canalbuds
Halfway between earbuds and in ear canal headphones, canalbuds don’t block out as much external noise as the latter and they can’t match the performance of some in ear canal headphones, but canalbuds tend to be more comfortable than true in ear canal models because they don’t sit so deep and so tightly in your ear canals, plus they’re less expensive.
Lightweight headphones
Portable and generally reasonably priced lightweight headphones often use larger drivers (speakers) than earbuds and canalphones and their earpieces rest against the outside of the ear, some have a thin headband that goes over behind the head, other use a small clip for each ear, many of these model fold up as well, although most lightweight. Headphones produce mediocre sound, a number of them do stand out.
Full size headphones
If you don’t mind a little bulk, good full size headphones which often fully surround your ears sound better than good lightweight model, some are also much more comfortable, these headphones fall into two categories, closed model, which block out a degree of external noise and open model which some people prefer sonically, but which also let more noise in and out, one caveat reach their potential, many full size headphones require more juice than an ipod headphones can provide.
Noise cancelling headphones
If you’re not a fan of in-ear phones, but you want something that can filter out external noise such as airplane engines, train rumblings or the hum of a crowd, invest in a good pair of noise cancelling headphones, these headphones which come in both lightweight and full size models with a latter offering better noise isolation sample outside sound and then pipe in an inverse audio signal to cancel out a good deal of monotonous sound. Although they don’t usually sound as good as comparable in ear phones, they are easier to put on and take off and they still let you hear what’s going on around you.
