How to Choose the Perfect Pair of Headphones

Form factors

Headphones come in a number of different styles, which will meet your ears and sound differently when you wear them. The first thing you should limit, when deciding on a pair of headphones is the form factor you want. You'll want to make that decision based not only on where you use them, but this type of music you are listening to.

Earphones and headphones are tiny earphones that go inside your ears. You're probably familiar with them, cheaper and often come with headphones music players (like iPod).Headphones generally sit in the bowls of your ears, while in-ear "variants actually go into the ear canal, some deep enough.

Etymotic ER-4P Portable In-Ear Earphones ▷▷ Buy Best Selling

I'm on record with a total rave Etymotic ER-6 headphones - but the ER-4P is much more satisfying. The difference is low (unlike most immediately obvious). The ER-4P was phenomenal bass for headphones - probably the state of the art in this reguard. But what makes the ER-4P really special is its incredible dynamics. The soundstage is huge, and sonic textures to leap out of velvet silence. It is difficult to characterize the dynamics superb. Music sounds "bigger". Quiet passages have more presence - and louder passages have more interior details.Another strength of the ER-4P is that the low energy dynamics is possible with additional detail Acute balanced sound - not strident or analysis (such as the ER-6 can sometimes sound). Between the dynamics and bass, the ER-4P finally sounding more musical and alive than the ER-6 (and almost every other headphones). There is a touch of maturity mid-bass - voice, sometimes deep, like Mark Knopfler seem a bit pasty. There is also a considerable drop in dynamic - sometimes a touch of congestion may occur in the crests of the crescendo.The downside is that the softer passages may have a presence and emotional power. Small scale acoustic stuff and singers shine and have a terrific presence. Nora Jones, for example, has never sounded so good. Big Rock does not suffer either. The details of acute and fantastic huge bass makes both classical and rock really slam. These phones are truly amazing.
