What are the main types of headphones?

The primary types include over-ear (circumaural), on-ear (supra-aural), and in-ear (earbuds/IEMs), each offering different levels of comfort, sound isolation, and portability.

What is noise-cancelling technology in headphones?

Noise-cancelling headphones use microphones to detect external ambient sound and then generate anti-noise sound waves to reduce or eliminate unwanted background noise, enhancing listening clarity.

What's the difference between wired and wireless headphones?

Wired headphones connect via a physical cable (e.g., 3.5mm jack, USB) to an audio source, potentially offering higher fidelity. Wireless headphones, typically using Bluetooth, connect without cables for greater freedom and convenience.

How do I choose the right headphones for me?

Consider your primary use (music, calls, gaming, exercise), preferred fit (over-ear, in-ear), desired features (noise-cancelling, wireless), sound quality preferences, and budget.
