Headphone Buying Guide

[Micheal Jorden]

When investing in a new pair of headphones the first thing you should decide is 'where and how' you are intending to use them. It's pointless buying a set of full size pair of Hi-Fi headphones when you're only going listen to music whilst you are jogging, conversely buying a set of sports earphones to use on air flights could be useless since they don't isolate much background noise. If you're able to, try to check the headphones you would like personally and if possible, test them with the music device you would like to use them with and listen to music that you're already familiar with, so you will have a way to detect any nuances from one headphone to another.

DJ Headphones

Most DJ headphones come with a swivel/rotating ear cup, this is a great feature to help compare the beats of a brand new track you are about to mix to the audio coming from the PA system at exactly the same time.

On ear headphones are the most frequent kind of headphone. They are also know as 'super-aural headphones' or 'earpad headphones', some have ear cups that literally rest on your own ear while others have a larger cup like 'full size' headphones.

In-ear Headphones

Like earplugs, in-ear headphones are very good at blocking out external noise. Playing music using in-ear headphones is a completely different experience to listening to music over a set of Hi Fi speakers, since the sound from a set of in-ear headphones will be funneled straight into your ears, which will bring out small details which are otherwise lost over stereo speakers.
