What is wireless
Wireless headphones are wireless headphones that transmit acoustic signals directly into the user's ear. No noise is emitted to the environment, so headphones can be used to enjoy music or stories in a very private way. Headphones are used both within the family and on the go. In the family environment, for example, young people can listen to their favorite music undisturbed all day long without the rest of the family having to listen to the supposed "noise" as well. In addition, everyone can enjoy their own favorite music and adjust the volume individually. In sports and on the road, headphones also ensure that the environment is not disturbed by noise or music, but only a private experience.
With wireless headphones, you can call up data from different sources and enjoy music, listen to audio books or immerse yourself in a different world while gaming without cables.
What types of wireless headphones are there?
All described wireless headphones receive their signals completely wirelessly via radio. However, in terms of their carrying and design, they can be divided into the following categories:
Open headphones
Open headphones as an over-ear version are non-sealed models. This means that ambient noise is also audible in parallel to music enjoyment. In the other direction a similar effect arises, because seat neighbors can also hear which music is currently playing at a certain volume. Wearing comfort is often described as more airy and lighter than closed headphones, because the shells do not "stick" to the ear. The sound of the played music is somewhat different from the closed model, in which the sealing leads to resonances, which can distort the sound but do not have to. Open headphones are a safety benefit, especially when cycling or jogging, because ambient noise or warning tones can still be perceived. In quiet places or in traffic, open headphones impress on the whole line.
Closed headphones
These models are designed so that the earpiece fits firmly against the ear. Sealed and insulated, no or only a few noises penetrate and out. The advantage of these models is that the listener can enjoy games or music from the surroundings without any interference and can dive completely into another world. The sound is different from the open headphones, because the bass is good with the closed system and resonances are created by the sealing. The sound does not penetrate outwards in these models, so even loud music does not disturb anyone in the environment. Closed headphones can save the ears, because music can be enjoyed much more quietly due to the hidden ambient noise.
Over-the-ear headphones
The term "over-ear" describes how the earpieces are placed on the ears, or in this case, enclose the entire ear. Cushions provide a firm and secure fit directly at the ear, while at the same time they are soft against the skin and are therefore comfortable to wear. The two earpieces are connected to a headband that runs over the head of the handset. Over ear headphones are also divided into closed and open models.
In-ear headphones
This category differs significantly in its design and appearance from the other models. In-ear headphones use only very small earphones placed in the ear. These devices are visually inconspicuous. Here, too, both headphones are connected, but the devices come with a collar look. This means that the bracket is no longer worn on the head, but moves into the neck or under the chin. The collar is much more filigree and nevertheless contains numerous functions, such as the volume control.
On-ear headphones
In an on-ear headphone, the compact design convinces, which makes it appear less clumpy than its over-ear counterpart. An on-ear headphone also covers the entire ear, but transmits the sound experience in a smaller room. They are more often perceived as more pleasant when worn for longer periods of time. The sound quality naturally varies between the different manufacturers and price classes, whereby On Ears usually do not come as a closed variant.
