Computers are
everywhere. You can see them inside your house, inside stores, banks,
establishments, schools and sometimes even vehicles. But it seems that people
are still looking for more, which is why smartphones were developed.
These ‘smart’
mobile phones became very popular, especially among professionals because these
devices let them use computer features without bringing a laptop or their bulky
and heavy desktop computer. A few years later and a new breed of electronic
gadgets swept the world by storm. These are the tablets which are like
miniature computers. People take them anywhere and they are used in web
browsing, watching movies, etc.
Because of these
highly advanced gadgets which are mostly for entertainment purposes, computer
headsets became popular once more. Obviously, gadget users would not want
others to hear every word the leading actor in the film they are watching is
saying. There are several types of headsets you may get for your gadget,
depending on your preferences:
Wired
headphones
This may be the
most common type of headset for mobile computers and other electronic devices. It
is usually composed of two wired ends where sound comes out, each going to one
ear. These parts are covered by foam in order to protect the ear from
unnecessary scratches. It also helps prevent them sound from coming out and be
heard by other people around you.
Overhead
headphones
Due to trends in
design, a lot of people began buying overhead headphones which resemble traditional
compute headsets connected to desktop
computers at home or in the office. They are composed two ear pads which almost
enclose each ear. These pads are connected by a bendable and adjustable stem
that passes above the head from one ear to another.
Because some
overhead headphones can be toppled off easily, recent models enabled the stem
to be rested behind the neck, while the ear pads extend upward towards the
ears. This way, even if the headset is toppled off, it would just safely land
on both sides of the user’s neck.
Wireless
and Bluetooth headsets
Recent
developments in the field of near-field communication technology have enabled
device manufacturers to create headsets which do not require wires or cords in
order to play music or emit sound which come from mobile phones or tablets. Bluetooth
technology and NFC became the key selling point of these devices because users
would not need to deal with tangled wires before they can peacefully enjoy
music or listen to the sound of the film they are watching.
