Fit is More Critical than Sound

Without sounding too impressed with myself I need to say that I know rather a lot about headphones. I have gone through many different brands and used many different models from each. After all my looking for the ultimate headphones I have both found what makes the ultimate headphones as well as why some popular designs will never succeed.

If you're planning on purchasing headphones online make sure you go to a store first and try some on. The fit is the most vital part of your headphones and it isn't an aweful idea to check the sound while you are at it. Please do not be one of the hip iPod headphones users who still use the white ear buds that come with the iPod. The iPod is over ten years old and they use those atrocious ear buds. They don't fit anyone's ears and constantly fall out.

Headphone manufacturers that market the quality of the sound generally are not the ideal solution. I really do not care how good your headphones sound if they feel uncomfortable and fall off each and every ten seconds. Even ear bud companies try and brag about the high quality of the tiny speakers and amplifiers they use but it actually doesn't matter and here is why. 99% of headphones users are listening to an iPod, iPhone or some other tiny digital portable device that has compressed the music to fit on it.

Generally speaking iPod mp3 sound is not that good because it has been compressed but 99% of the population can't notice the difference. In a home theatre setting with blueray discs or using hi fi installers I admit it is easy to hear the difference in sound quality but this isn't as true with headphones. Even DVDs compress the sound to fit a giant video file on 4 GB.

Many people would prefer over the ear headphones and some would rather have earphone buds. Personally I think that both have their advantages and drawbacks. If you will be flying on a plane or traveling in a motionless position I recommend using over the ear headphones. Sound cancelling headphones are the best satisfaction but make sure they are cushy as even enormous costly headphones can pinch ears and become uncomfortable in time. If you plan on moving about a lot than ear buds are the better choice. I used to compete in snowboarding and ear buds always worked for me but when I travelled between contests I could not get by without my noise cancelling over the ear headphones.
