Bluetooth technology – so named after the King of Denmark in the 10th Century when he united

Denmark and Norway – has made this a very simple choice. All it takes is to place a “dongle”

- a small box with a small jack plug – into your music system. The headphones and dongle are then “paired” electronically and you are set to go! Apart from the usual requirements of headphones – good sound quality, comfort, hands free design etc. – some people just want to look “cool” when it comes to wearing headsets. The Bluetooth technology allows the user to wear headphones without the trailing wires and styles have certainly improved of late. I – Phone have come up with a design which looks a little odd. The behind the neck bar attaches to large, egg-shaped ear pieces and are not for everyone. They look a little theatrical in style and basically are just too big to look “cool”. A pointer to watch out for when purchasing new headphones is to try them on for size. This headsets’ bar stood out from the back of the neck way too far.

Whether you want the smaller, more fashionable, or more portable headphones always make sure you get what is right for you in terms of comfort, style and price. Buy the best you can

afford for longevity.

This means that music can be listened to at a lower volume or indeed the intrepid air traveler can sleep on a noisy aircraft. The anti-noise system was created, not for the home user, but for the workers who are around aircraft or heavy machinery. It was applied to headsets for long haul pilots and eventually for home users.

Some airlines offer the sound canceling headphones in their first-class sections. The “anti-noise” can even be played back through the headrests making a far more peaceful environment for traveling long distances. The continuous hum of aircraft engines can be rather
disconcerting on long flights.

However, if you really want to cut out background noise while you concentrate on the music or perhaps that seminar recording, this type of headphone will be beneficial. It appears that you only get what you pay for. Some of these headsets can be bought for under $100 but the sound canceling qualities are not as good as the high end headphones.

Here you can pay upwards of $300 – $400. A high price to pay for a little peace and quiet!

Built into the headphones are amplifiers and sound processors. These sound processors recreate the missing cues that give the ears a sense of space. If they do their job properly, you are surrounded by sound. Also if you like watching movies but don’t want to disturb your neighbors at 3:00AM or your significant other, then surround headphones are for you. Movies sound pretty awesome as you can hear things coming at you from all directions. I have actually ducked when watching an action movie with these headphones on. With the right movie, you’ll be hopping all about the place, in a good way.

You might wonder how much these things cost? There are inexpensive units that work pretty well. You can also go crazy and spend hundreds of dollars. You really need to get out there with your favorite movie and go sample them live at your nearest retail store. The more expensive units come with outboard Dolby decoder boxes and coaxial/digital inputs. These decoders will do an admirable job of decoding the Dolby surround and mixing it into two channels for the headset that comes with the decoder. The cheaper units have everything built into the headphones. Unfortunately, these units tend to be quite heavy. Some of you may not like the extra weight that these headphones carry due to the electronics on board. Extended sessions can become quite uncomfortable if you are sensitive to that kind of thing. Again, as I stated before, try them out at a retail store before committing to a purchase. At any rate, whichever surround headphones you get, you will be astounded at the difference between them and ordinary headphones.

There are two major types of sound proof headphones. There are active noise cancellation units and passive units. The active noise cancellation headphones use noise canceling technology which requires its own power supply, usually one or two AA batteries. They have a microphone on the outside of the headphones which monitors the noise. This noise is fed to a small amplifier and it creates the exact opposite noise to what is going on outside. This “opposite” noise is fed into the headphones and the net effect is silence. The silence comes because the two sources of noise cancel each other out when they reach your ears. These type of headphones have two major disadvantages, the first being price and the second is the requirement for batteries to power the noise canceling circuitry. Some of them also don’t work all that well. You should try the headphones at the store before buying.

The passive type of sound proof headphones uses sound absorbing technology. This comes in the form of various sound dampening materials to isolate your ears from the outside. The ear cups typically fit all around the ear, surrounding it completely. This method can be very effective. The disadvantages of this approach vary. First, the headphones tend to be heavy. Second, the rubber surround on the ear cups has to fit well, so pressure needs to be applied. This can cause ear fatigue. Another potential problem is that you tend to sweat on the rubber surround. Last, but not least, these headphones are anything but inconspicuous, so if you are a commuter, prepare for some odd looks here and there.
