How to choose your headphones?

Written by Thonet & Vander | Sep 18, 2024 3:49:31 PM

If you have a smartphone, a sound bar or 2.0 speakers, you surely need good in-ear headphones or Bluetooth headphones. The same statement applies to your laptop, 2.1 speakers or home theater.

In this note we help you with this difficult task of choosing your headphones.

Think about when you are going to use the headphones

Using headphones to talk on the phone in hands-free mode while walking down the street is not the same as using them to work in your home studio listening to music. You may also want them to play sports, to go to work or to connect them to your game console. Determining when you are going to use them will be vital to choosing good headphones.

In Ear vs. Over Ear vs. On Ear vs. Normal Headphones

There are four different types of headphones and we recommend you choose based on the use you will give them. 

In Ear headphones are those that are inserted into the ear, isolating outside sound. They improve audio quality and are small in size.

On Ear headphones and Over Ear headphones are similar. The main difference is that the Over Ear ones rest on the head, while the On Ear ones rest on the ear, isolating the latter from outside noise. 

If we are looking for high-level professional sound, On Ear headphones and Over Ear headphones are one of the best options, without forgetting the classic In Ear headphones, small in size and economically priced.

With noise cancellation?

External noise is one of the causes of loss of acoustic quality when we listen to music, both with in-ear headphones and over-ear headphones. That's why you can opt for noise-cancelling headphones, capable of practically isolating you from outside sound.

Wireless technology

Bluetooth technology has generated many advances in terms of wireless connection, which led to its application in Bluetooth headphones and even Bluetooth headphones with TWS technology.

Currently there are wireless Bluetooth headphones that achieve really good audio quality. You can think about on-ear Bluetooth headphones if you plan to use them, for example, to edit music in your home studio or in-ear Bluetooth headphones if you are going to use them to do sports outdoors.

At Thonet & Vander we strive to bring you Bluetooth headphones, on-ear headphones and in-ear headphones of excellent design and quality-price ratio, giving you options for all the possible uses you want to give them.

With the development of our Dauer, Klein and Bohne models, we have achieved a complete and versatile range that combines in-ear headphones, over-ear headphones and Bluetooth headphones, also incorporating TWS technology for linking Bluetooth in-ear headphones.
