Question Mark Icon of Question Mark

This is the design of the earpieces on the headphones. Some headphones go inside the ear, while others rest on the outside of the ear. This helps you know exactly what type of headphones you will be receiving.

In-Ear: The ear buds go into the ear. Most often, the right and left ear buds are two separate pieces.

Enclosed-Ear: Usually are found on the larger headphones. They rest on top of the ear and have padding for comfort, as well as enclosing the ear to the speaker. This type of headphone helps to filter out surrounding noise.

On-Ear: This type of headphone involves the speaker sitting gently on the ear without going in the ear or sealing it off.

Headphone type refers to the construction of the headphones.

Around the Ear means that the headphones wrap around the ear to provide a secure fit. This is most often seen in active and sports headphones.

Around the Neck means that the headphones wrap around the neck. This is also seen in active and sports headphones.

Earbuds means that the right and left sides of the headphones are separated and will fit securely into the ear. These are small, compact, and user friendly.

Over the Head headphones mean that the right and left speakers are connected with a support that goes over the head and rests on top. This is the typical headphone type.

The physical design of the driver in the headphones.

Balanced Armature:
A balanced armature driver uses a coil wrapped around an armature which is held in between two magnets until it is stimulated by an electrical current. When stimulated, this armature is magnetized which causes it to rotate one way or the other around a pivot point which moves the diaphragm to create sound. Balanced armature driver headphones are generally earbuds and can have multiple drivers in each earbud.

Dynamic:
Dynamic drivers are the most common driver type. They feature a permanent magnet, usually neodymium, a voice coil and a conical diaphragm to drive your music. A dynamic headphone driver looks pretty much identical to any typical home theater speaker.

Electrostatic:
Electrostatic drivers are made up of an extremely thin membrane, usually a coated PET film, stretched between two metal plates. An electrical signal is applied to the metal plates to create an electrical field which, depending on its polarity, draws the speaker diaphragm toward one of the plates which forces air through the perforations in the diaphragm which generates the sound wave.

Planar Magnetic:
A planar magnetic driver is made up of a large membrane suspended between two sets of oppositely aligned magnets. An electric charge is applied to the membrane to induce movement and produce sound waves.

    All About Sport Headphones Around the Ear


    Digital music has revolutionized the way we listen to music, and has in turn transformed the way we work out. Whether you’re an avid athlete or just trying to stay in shape, nothing keeps you motivated and focused like a mix of your favorite tunes. With an iPod, MP3 player or even a cellphone, you can shut out the outside world and jam out without the clunky AM/FM radios, over-ear headphones and boomboxes of yesteryear. These days, there are a wide variety of active and sports style headphones as diverse as the athletes that use them. Those who favor traditional on-ear designs will certainly appreciate the contoured, ergonomic design of wrap-around headphones. These feature on-ear drivers, but with a neckband that hooks around the ear and across the back of the head for secure fit during activity. Fans of earbuds will delight in the wide array of styles and fitment options which will offer a comfortable and secure fit for every ear. Many active and sports headphones offer integrated or inline controls, allowing you to play, pause, skip tracks or adjust volume without fumbling with your iPod during your workout. They also often include inline microphones for hands-free calls (although fellow gym-goers may not appreciate this!) We are excited to see the innovative new products sure to be released in this ever-developing category. Bring these active style, sports headphones with you to the gym, track, or anyplace else you exercise. They are designed to stay on your head and in your ear for the perfect fit. Now you can enjoy your music while staying fit!
