When would you listen to music? On the bus during commuting? At school during break, or whenever you feel good or in blue? I believe the answer could be wherever and whenever. There is no denying that music could be a perfect match when you want to enjoy your private time at ease and comfort. Nevertheless, people may have a different understanding of what is in a comforting way as to accord with the manners of wearing.

Normally, there are three kinds of an earphone according to manners of wearing: headset, in-ear headset, and earbud. Today’s article is about to illustrate mentioned three manners of wearing and some suggestions regarding how to use earphones in a proper way.

Headphones

The difference between headsets and the other two earphones is that the wearing style. The headset is positioned across the wearer’s head and the speakers are to be positioned over the ears. It is normally designed that there are cushions placed around the speakers and over the ears for better comfort and sound insulation.

For the user’s listening experience, headsets’ over-head design provides you with a very personal and detailed feeling. Thus, the headset would be normally applied for receptionists and others requiring telephone on the go while working or playing, like for DJs and for gaming.
