How to choose and wear in-ear headphones

Edition Site - continuous music fans, but we never thought about whether we wear in-ear headphones correctly. It turned out that in the many nuances! Explore article in which the author approached the issue responsibly. I love to listen to music in-ear headphones. The sound is rich and completely natural, they block outside sounds, very light and portable. I often recommend to their friends when they ask me what headphones they choose to buy.

But as often friends come back and say they are dissatisfied with the sound. It sounds like a tin can. Not enough bass. Too often drop out. But in fact their problem, apparently, is not the operation of the headphones, and the correctness of their selection.





In-ear headphones look like earplugs, but operate on a different principle. They do not hang on your ears as traditional headphones, and designed to be worn completely inserted in the ears. This should be done in such a way that the soft nozzle forms a tight seal with the walls of the ear canal - like a cork in a bottle of wine. If this seal is not present, the transmission of sound worse (especially the bass), and you'll hear too much background noise.


You do not just have to insert them in the ears. You have to do it right

The correct way:. Begin by placing the headphones in your ears and push them a little bit deeper into the then use both hands to properly install the headphones.. In the case of the left ear with your right hand, grasp the left earlobe. Pull the earlobe down a bit to widen the ear canal. Then, use the left index finger to gently push the earpiece on. Not up to the eardrum, of course, but the far enough away that you feel resistance. Release the earlobe. Your ear canal returns to its normal size, and you will feel in your ear for a seal. Now do the same for the other ear.

You will notice that the sound coming from the headphones, became louder (slightly turn down the volume), and the bass was heard much better. Extraneous noises are missing. Some people do not like it - they start claustrophobia, but without fanfare, the music sounds more exciting. Learn to enjoy the solitude.

In order to be complete sound insulation is necessary to select correct nozzle size. In most cases the headphones come with multiple nozzles of different sizes, made of different materials, such as rubber and foam. Start with a minimum size. If it is small, move in the direction of increasing size. The largest size of the last try - you'll be surprised, but the smaller size of the nozzle sometimes gives the best result. If rubber attachments you are not satisfied, try a variety of foams. Most manufacturers produce different nozzles of the foam for different types of in-ear headphones.
