What Is the Difference Between Headsets, Headphones, and Earphones?

The headset, headphones, and earphones are all very similar in design and function, but there are a few crucial differences to be aware of. We'll take a quick look at what distinguishes each of these devices below, and provide consumers with a bit of a guide to help them pick which one they're searching for.


Headset

A headset is essentially a pair of headphones that include a microphone. The headset microphone could be a boom microphone, which means that the microphone is attached to a boom that can be moved and positioned as needed. It could also include an in-line microphone. This microphone is connected to the connection that links the headset to the computer or other device.


Headsets are ideal for a variety of applications. They are the obvious choice for voice-over-IP conversations with services like Skype, as well as integrating with a phone system. Headsets are also ideal for playing online games that require audio communication. Listeners who use a headset are completely engrossed in their listening experience.


The Headphones

Headphones are the forefathers of everything else on this list. A pair of headphones, in their most basic form, are two simple speakers connected by a band. This is then applied to the top of the user's head. This means that the speakers are immediately over the ears. The sound source sends its amazing sonic payload directly into the ears, creating a personal, immersive listening experience. In comparison to standard speakers, which vibrate large segments of air within a space to recreate sounds, listening to music on headphones is relatively distinct.


Headphones, on the other hand, merely move a small amount of air around the listener's ear. This contributes to a more constrained and individualized soundstage. Headphones typically provide superior noise cancellation. They serve as auditory insulation, keeping the noise produced by the headphones contained within the phone muffs while preventing outgoing noise.

The Earphones Plantronics Backbeat Earphones

Earphones, such as the BackBeat GO 2, are the headphones' spiritual descendants. The earphone is effectively an in-ear speaker because it does not have the huge design of "cans" or cushioned ear muffs that nestle the headphones' speakers in. Earphones, when inserted into the ear canal, allow an even more direct link to the sound source. They have even less air movement than headphones. This is because they only need to vibrate a small volume of air within the listener's auditory canal.


Earphones are less bulky than standard headphones. As a result, they are an excellent alternative for folks on the run. As a result, they are the most common choice for athletes, runners, and gym-goers who want to listen to music while working out. However, the earphone's design has an impact on noise cancellation. Furthermore, since they reside within the ear canal, some people find them difficult to wear. However, for those who enjoy or prefer the earphone experience, the reduced bulk and ergonomic shapes can be rather comfortable.


It all boils down to the intended application and personal preference in the end. Whatever you decide, our website has a great selection! View our entire assortment of headsets and headphones. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
