The basics you need to know before buying headphones

1. First of all, let's take a look at what types of headphones can be divided into?

Headphones are mainly divided into the following three types according to the wearing method.

(1) Over-ear type: The ear-cup is more than the ear, these headphones usually do not have a compact or foldable design, so they are not portable, but they are the best for comfort and sound.

(2) Ear-hook type: It has good comfort, but sacrifices sound quality and noise isolation.

(3) In-ear earphones: In-ear earphones are not particularly comfortable if they are worn for a long time, so the market share is also shrinking.

If you pursue sound quality, you need to start with some professional equipment.

If you are looking for value for money, be prepared to compromise on sound quality.
