Key Characteristics When Choosing Headphones

Acoustic Design

• Open-back: Natural sound, but let in external noise.
• Closed-back: Better noise isolation, but possible sound distortion.
• Semi-open: Compromise between sound quality and noise isolation.

Frequency Range

Optimal range: 20-20,000 Hz. A wider range can provide better reproduction at threshold frequencies.

Sensitivity

Measured in dB. Average around 100 dB. Affects sound volume.

Impedance

For portable devices, up to 32 ohms is recommended. Headphones with high impedance are better suited for stationary devices.

Wired vs Wireless

Wired: Better sound quality, no charging required.

Wireless: Convenient, especially for sports and travel.

Hybrid: Headphones with detachable cable - a versatile solution.

Additional Features

• Volume control on the wire
• Built-in microphone
• Multichannel sound (for games and movies)
• Water resistance (for sports models)

Brand Selection

Although some brands like Sennheiser are known for high quality, it's important to choose headphones based on personal listening experience. We also recommend considering models from Astell&Kern, Audio-Technica, Bowers&Wilkins, Sony, and other reputable manufacturers.

Conclusion

Choosing the ideal headphones depends on your personal preferences and intended use. Don't hesitate to test different models before buying and remember that there are no universal headphones - sometimes it's better to have several pairs for different situations.
