Top 3 Headphone Reviews
There are many different headphones available on the market. Which one should you choose? This article will break down the different types of headphones available. Headphones can be divided into circumural, in-ear, earbud and supra-aural phones.
Circumaural headphones completely encompass the ear exterior with a ellipsoid pad that is circular in shape. They weigh more and are larger in size. Audio enthusiasts and recording studios prefer this. The supra-aural are light weight. They were invented for being used with a personal stereo.
Earbud headphones are placed directly placed in the entrance of the ear canal, the disadvantage of these are that they do not give a good range and often have to be used at higher volumes to filter the surrounding background noise.
In-ear headphones are directly put inside the ear canal. Environmental noise is blocked out. They are like IEMs and are costly. Various technologies are employed to get sound clarity individually. Some are meant for home use, some look for the portability feature while purchasing a head phone. In ear headphones are the most popular for personal music devices such as mobile phones and mp3 players.

The Sony MDR-V6 / MDR-7506 is a circumaural headphone made in aluminium and they are great for listening to music on your computer. It has got bass impact, bass extension, bass quality, mid quality and high quality. It is durable and comfortable. If used at normal levels the sound quality is quite attractive and clear. On high levels sometimes the voice quality is a little too sharp. the paddings are good and thick. The pleather is designed in such a manner so as to allow air to pass resulting in non-accumulation of heat. It effectively seals out side noise but leaks sound so the person sitting next to you is also forced to hear your music. It's great for travel as it rolls up in to a ball. A pleather bag is supplied for storing it.
Beyerdynamic DT880 is an open circumaural made in plastic and a little on the higher side as far as price is concerned when compared to the other two previously mentioned. this is meant for headphone shoppers that are savvy. the sound is not that great but is definitely better than other higher priced brands and will last longer than them as well. The part of the sound that needs to be improved is the bass quality. All else is fine. Sounds are not forceful and jarring on the ear. In fact the result is a lighter, airier sound. The clamping force is low and the pads are made of super soft velour.
