The biggest advantage of the in-ear type is power saving, ordinary mp3 can be driven, and then it can avoid environmental noise. After all, the ears are blocked while listening to music. The low bass of the headphones is mainly due to the cost reduction of the sound unit, while some headphones have a strong accent, but require a computer CD, etc.

1. According to the working principle

There are mainly two types of dynamic (Electric) and electrostatic (Electrostatic) headphones. Although there are several other types such as magnetic, in addition to these two types, they have either been eliminated or used for professional purposes with very little market share. No discussion here.

Dynamic earphones: At present, most earphone earbuds (about 99%) belong to this category. The principle is similar to ordinary speakers. The coil in the permanent magnet field is connected to the diaphragm. The coil drives the diaphragm to make sound under the driving of signal current.

Electrostatic headphones: The diaphragm is in a changing electric field. The diaphragm is extremely thin and accurate to a few micrometers (currently, STAX's new-generation electrostatic headphones have a diaphragm that is accurate to 1.35 micrometers). The coil drives the diaphragm to make sound under the drive of electric field force.

2 : by openness

Mainly open, semi-open, closed (closed)

Open earphones generally have a natural listening feel and are comfortable to wear. They are often found in home-approved HIFI earphones. The sound can be leaked. Conversely, external sounds can also be heard. The earphones have less pressure on the ears.

Semi-open: There is no strict rule, the sound can only enter or not enter, and the corresponding adjustment can be made according to the needs.

Closed: The earmuffs are pressed against the ears to prevent sound from coming in and out, and the sound is positioned correctly and clearly. This kind of headphones are often seen in the professional monitoring field. However, one of the disadvantages of these headphones is that the bass sound is severe.
