Headphones and earphones

The choice starts with the shape: discreet in-ear buds for a pocket, closed headphones to shut out noise on public transport, open-back models for long listening at home. Active noise cancelling transforms daily commutes, and a secure fit matters for sport. With wireless models, battery life and a stable connection come first. Exotic audio formats are rarely audible from an ordinary phone.
