Your Best Headphones
Headphones
Headphones are a pair of small speakers used for listening to sound from a computer, music player or other electronic device. Headphones originally consisted of one speaker for each ear, connected by a band over the head. While this style is still in use, modern headphones are also available in a much smaller format that is inserted into the ear, and commonly called earbuds. Modern-day headphones can be either wireless or wired.
