As telecommunications technology evolves, headphone configurations become more advanced and adaptable to our needs. Whether the perfect sound for you and your employees comes from monaural, binaural, over-the-head, behind-the-neck, earphone or hook, Connection offers a broad range of quality headphones from leading manufacturers. Finding the perfect headphones out of so many viable options becomes simpler with our team at the helm.
Consider these factors when choosing a pair of headphones:
Purpose: Will headphones be used for music, meetings, or podcasts? Do you need to drown out environmental noise or are they intended to help you focus on work? The right pair of headphones can make a huge difference in your intended outcome or task.... Headphones can provide advanced features—such as noise cancellation or microphones—and different manufacturers may include adapters or longer cords that can be used in a variety of places.
Style: It’s not just about picking the best-sounding headphones. It’s also about finding the right style that will fit your needs and personality. The three most common styles are over-ear, on-ear, and in-ear. The over-ear type covers the entire ear, including the earlobe, and can be either opened or closed. This style provides a more natural sound and has better noise cancellation than on-ear or in-ear types of headphones. On-ear headphones sit on top of the ears and cover only part of them, while in-ears (often called earbuds) are inserted into the ear canal to provide a more personal listening experience.
Fit: Will your team be wearing headphones all day? A comfortable headband with hands-free compatibility will be a wise choice. Many are designed for extended comfort and come with powerful neodymium magnets and other technologies for a clear, natural sound. Some are adaptable to various ear shapes or sized canals, which can positively impact the sound quality for the wearer.
There are many different types of headphones on the market, and it can be hard to know which one is best for your organization. Some factors to consider when choosing headphones include the type and size of the work environment, who will be using them and—of course—the audio itself.
