occasionally, where the cable meets one headphone/earbud or the other). If I were cynical, I might suggest headphone makers deliberately engineer their products to fail by using poor-quality cables and connections. You can always tell a good pair of headphones: the makers will have devoted...
To maintain the headphones' “wirelessness,” power must be supplied by internal batteries. These batteries could be AA, AAA, or batteries inserted into the headphones. Today's wireless headphones, on the other hand, are more likely to have built-in rechargeable batteries. Alternative Video: Ho...
So when Bluetooth-enabled products, such as a cell phone and headphones, are in close proximity to each other, they connect, or pair. A single Bluetooth headset can even connect tomultiple devicesat the same time. This enables you to talk on the phone or listen to musicwithout the bother...
Bone conduction headphones -- sometimes called 'bonephones'-- are headphones that transmitsound wavesthrough the bones in a user's skull instead of their ear canal. When in use, the bones in a user's skull will vibrate to amplify the sound waves, allowing users to listen to device audio,...
3D stereo image on headphones with Nx 3D surround image on headphones with Nx Nx does all this in a subtle manner, adding only the critical and global cues required in order to recreate the spatial 3D audio image, without otherwise modifying or coloring the sound. The filters and ambience ar...
How does active noise cancellation work? (Image credit: Future) The short answer: two or more tiny microphones on the outer housing of the headphones' earcups "listen" to the noise around you and quickly create a mirror image of the compression and rarefaction of the air (i.e. external...
Professional audio work often requires higher fidelity and more accurate sound reproduction. For tasks such as audio editing, music production, or podcasting, it is generally recommended to use dedicated studio headphones or monitoring headphones that offer a more neutral and precise sound reproduction....
I love my bone conduction headphones. I wear them when I’m running so that I can hear traffic approaching. I also love them for noisy environments where I put in earplugs. Since the headphones don’t require my ear canal to be open, I can use earplugs a
How do noise-canceling headphones work? Noise-canceling headphones use active noise control to counteract ambient noise. Utilizing a built-in microphone, noise-canceling headphones measure ambient sound, and then generate a waveform through the ear piece that is the exact negative of this ambient sou...
If you want to listen to the audio from your computer over headphones instead of a speaker system, you can connect the headphones to your computer. When headphones are connected to a computer, the speakers become quiet and all of the audio plays only thr
