Rock, pop, latest chartbusters, world, blues, hip-hop, ballads, and Latino etc., mark diverse states of my moods and I tend to swing between highs and lows of equalizers on my music player. Soothing, sentimental notes of ‘Moonlight’ lull me to sleep, funky beats of ‘On the Floor’ keep me running and shedding weight on my elliptical bike and tracks like ‘See the Sun’ help me shut off the ambient noise and accelerate my speed at work. You see that I am fostering this music-oholic soul and my headphones make me feel alive, every time, everywhere. Whether I am travelling by train, taking a stroll at the sidewalk of a busy street, at work or at home, I keep my pet music gear plugged to my ear.
My music plugs have freed me from the restriction of noisy sound systems (me and my neighbor are both happy at that!) without deterring the quality of lifelike, high fidelity sound. So, it is imperative to select the best pair of headphones to ensure the best sound quality, in order to keep pulsating and grooving to your favorite tune. I would suggest audiophiles to take account of their music listening preferences and habit, genre of music they mostly listen to, and of course, aural comfort to choose the right headphones. And this is how to go about.
Define Your Style of Music Listening
So, what type of headphones suit your style of music listening? Do you need headphones for enjoying music while travelling? Would you be drawn to those cute colored headphones on the shelf? Would you like acoustic, deep bass or lifelike sound? Would you prefer an around-the-neck or around-the-head fashioned headphones? Identify your preferences and make choices accordingly.
Earbuds:
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Earbuds headphones are usually found inside the sales package of cell phones or MP3 player. These earbuds cannot be plugged inside the ear. Also replacement of these music gears comes for as low rates as $30 maximum. These headphones come with a rubber cap on the plastic speaker to provide comfort, however, I still find these jabbing my ear and are incapable of filtering out external noise. I personally prefer in-ear headphones which are just a one step-up of this kind.
In-ear Headphones
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In-ear headphones match up perfectly to my music listening habits. These small and easy to carry earphones go completely inside my ear and seal utmost ambient noise. Moreover, soft rubber or polyurethane earpieces of these music gears do not deter my music listening experience with discomforts or pain thus render in prolonged hours of immersive music listening. Whether I am running and jogging in a local park, traveling by a bus, train or car or even when I want to deeply sink into my imaginations and lose connection to the world – my Klipsch’s Lou Reed X10i Signature Edition headphones are my perfect companion. Some other names popular among audiophiles are Sennheiser, AKG, Bose, Beyerdynamic, Audio-Technica, Grado, and Etymotic.  Â
You may also opt for big headsets that cover your ear and are popular for producing high fidelity sound quality. If you want to buy a single headphone for gaming, watching movies, listening to music on computer, cell phone or MP3 player and feature wireless streaming capabilities, then zero in on top rated headsets Bose QuietComfort 3, Sennheiser HD 518 and Sennheiser HD 800, Grado SR 60i, Audio-Technica ATH-M50, Audez’e LCD-2 Leather.
