To make a choice between headphones or earphones it is important to look at the following factors;
- Purpose & Environment – What will the headphones or earphones be used for? Will they be used at a work or public environment or indoors? By answering these questions, a selection can be made depending on the purpose or planned use of the headphones or earphones. Headphones are more hygienic because they are worn over the ear but can be heavy to move around with them.
- Type & Size – The three most common types are over the ear, on the ear or in-canal. Headphones are bulky and difficult to carry around compared to earphones.
- Connectivity – the connection can be wireless, Bluetooth or with cable that can be removable.
- Phone Controls – The ability to connect with the mobile phone can be an essential facility
- Active Noise Cancellation – ability to cancel noise from the surroundings. This is a costly feature. Headphones tend to blocking noise from the surroundings better without the need for noise cancellation.
Earphones seal off the ear canal and therefore offer a more secure fit. A variation of the earphone is the earbud that do not seal off the ear canal. On the ear headphones are called supra-aural and over the ear type are referred to as the circumaural type.
The popular brands of modern wireless, Bluetooth headphones with noise cancellation are the Sennheiser, Sony and Boss
