Headphones: Get the music entirely to yourself

If you are gaming or listening to music on the go, a headset or a pair of headphones is indispensable. There are many different types available from the very cheap in-ear headphones, to the best and expensive 7.1 surround sound gaming headsets from the big brands. If you live in an apartment, the headset is also an obvious alternative to the large floor loudspeakers that cause complaints from the neighbours.

Many people always have a pair of headphones in their pocket or bag. The advantage of the small headphones is that they provide a great music experience in a compact and pocket-sized edition. Several models today come with a built-in microphone in the cable so you can make phone calls or chat over Skype. If you want to avoid trouble with cables, you can also get the wireless in-ear headset. Most models use Bluetooth to stream music from the phone while other versions have a built-in MP3 player. All in all, headphones are a good product for example for when you go on a run and in your free time.

If you would like a larger model, choose a headset. There are two different versions. On-ear is the smallest of the two headset types. As the name indicates, the headset sits on the ear. On-ear is generally cheaper than the over-ear option. Instead of sitting on the ear, the over-ear model fits around the ear and sends the sound into the ear. For gaming, it is almost always the over-ear model, the big brands choose to make. Some models come with 5.1 or Dolby 7.1 surround sound.

If you need a set of headphones or a headset for music, it would be a good idea to choose a model from Apple, Audio-Technica, Bose, Jabra, Marshall Headphones, Senheiser, Sony or Urbanears. There are many different variants and colors. No matter if you are an audiophile, need a headset for training or are looking for a children's model for watching movies on the iPad, you will always find a great selection at a competitive price.

If you are going to a LAN party or just gaming at home, it is really nice with a good headset. A gaming headset usually has surround sound and big drivers. If you choose a model from ASUS, Corsair, Kingston, Logitech, Mad Catz, Razer or SteelSeries, you get a quality headset. It is important to look at how many hertz (Hz) the headset can deliver. The larger a spectrum it delivers, the more tones you get from the soundtrack in the game. If you want to avoid cables to the computer, you can also get wireless models.

If you need headsets for your workplace, we have several different models. If you work at an office, Jabra and Plantronics have many good phone headsets. If you are a craftsman or you drive a truck, many are happy with a hands-free headset in their ears.
