If we were to count down the most unpopular behaviors in public, openly using a cell phone to listen to music outside would definitely be in the top three.

Creating noise pollutes the environment, not to mention that music taste is something that varies greatly from person to person, and playing it out is tantamount to openly raping other people's ears. Not to mention the "high players" who like to play the game outside, fearing that others do not know that he three kills, four kills, spraying him Q.

When you meet this kind of person, in addition to wanting to smash his cell phone, it is to send him a pair of headphones ...... or put on the headphones yourself and leave this noisy earthly world with your mind.

So the question is, which is better, in-ear or over-the-head headphones? Which is more damaging to your hearing?

First of all, if you're not a styling fiend, you'll generally go for in-ears.

The in-ear is compact, so when you don't use the headphones, it's no problem to put them away in a ball and stuff them anywhere. The more fitting ear canal shape design, can make it better sound insulation, but also will not easily fall off.

However, in-ear also has certain flaws, that is, its diagnostic effect. Especially when exercising, the friction sound of the headphone wires and clothes is hard to ignore, so noticeable that you, a single dog who can't do friction exercise, can only run against the wind and fall into tears.

The earbuds of in-ear headphones go in and out of your ear canal for a long time, doing all kinds of piston movements, and if they are not cleaned frequently, they can bring outside bacteria into the inner ear canal, causing otitis media and other diseases.

Headset compared to the in-ear, unique a cool crazy bully tugging the king of the air. Walking on the street with him, the turnover rate of 33.3333 percent, already very high, what else do you want?

The remaining 66.6666 will be made up by your hip-hop boy-like uninhibited dress and arrogant, indifferent and unbeatable demeanor.

Headset sound field is wide, can wrap the whole ear, the sound source and the ear has a certain distance, good quality can even create a sound-like effect.

But, hmm, dialectical materialism teaches us that there are two sides to everything!

Headphones, for the glasses party, its original sin is - pinching ears! To the health party, its original sin is - triggering shoulder and neck strain! To the weight loss party, its original sin is - can't take it on the scale!

In addition it has poor soundproofing, so if you're listening in a noisy environment, you'll need to turn on a louder volume than in-ear headphones to get a good listen. But given the open design of many mid-to-high-end headphones, as soon as you turn up the volume, people nearby will know that you are secretly listening to the Chongqing version of Peppa Pig.

Whether it is in-ear headphones or headphones, listening to songs for a long time and at high volume will cause damage to the hearing, so we must control the length and volume when using them.

Secretly, I prefer the in-ear type~

Many opinions believe that ear injuries are due to the type of headphones, the most controversial is the two types of headphones, in-ear and headband, in fact, there is not enough evidence to prove that under the same conditions, in-ear headphones and headband headphones which is more harmful.

Let's start with in-ear headphones, which are also considered to be more damaging to the ear because they are in direct contact with the ear, which can bring bacteria into the ear and breed ear infections.

Plus, headphones, while headphones don't touch the ear, these types of headphones tend to put pressure on the ear, causing discomfort and even pain in the ear.

Not only these two aspects, in many other aspects there is no way to prove which kind of headset is more harmful to the ear. In fact, headphones have their own advantages and shortcomings, the choice of headphones is not necessary to get entangled in a particular shortcomings, as long as the use of headphones in the right way will not cause damage to the ear, causing most of the causes of ear injuries are due to the use of headphones caused by the incorrect method, so it is important to master the correct way to use headphones.

2. Easy to lose. Due to its small size, it is easy to drop it in your pocket without being easily detected.

3. Easily cause ear discomfort. Long-term contact with the ear canal, if not cleaned in time, will lead to bacterial invasion, resulting in otitis media and other symptoms.

II. Headphones

2. Wide soundstage. You can wrap your ears all the way around, and the sound source and eardrums are a certain distance away, the effect is more open.

3. Cost-effective. Headphones are low cost and much more effective than in-ear headphones of the same price.

2. Mobile phones can not be pushed. Headphones are generally higher impedance, the phone is difficult to push, the difference between the tone and professional equipment is obvious.

3. Poor sound insulation. The volume is too loud and the people on the side can hear it, and the volume is too low and the outside sound affects the music experience.

In summary, no matter in-ear or headband headphones, if you wear them on time, they will have some impact on your hearing. So we must learn to control the time we enjoy music, and the sound can not be too loud. Only to develop good listening habits, for wearing what type of headphones will not matter.

It's undoubtedly is a headset.

The in-ear headphones are comfortable to wear, don't put much pressure on your ears, and just a little bit of volume is enough to hear clearly

Hearing damage to the ear is determined by the size of the sound. The louder the sound, the greater the damage to the ear.

In-ear headphones are more comfortable to wear than headbands

In-ear headphones are generally very light and do not put pressure on the neck and ears. Headphones are quite a bit larger and heavier compared to in-ear headphones and are not as convenient to carry as in-ears.

In-ears tend to be very light and comfortable to carry, like they don't feel much.

Let's start with in-ear headphones. In-ear headphones will use a rubber sleeve to isolate the ear from external sound sources, forming a relatively confined space to achieve a relatively good noise reduction effect, in the same sound level, in-ear headphones sound will appear to be a little bigger. But also because of this principle, the damage to the ear will be a little higher.

There are also closed and open headphones, but all of them have more space than in-ear headphones, but regardless of the type of headphones, a reasonable sound level and also the time of use is the key to ear damage.

Let's put it this way, headphones are generally less harmful compared to in-ear, the sound range of headphones is located around the ear into the ear, the direct stimulation of the ear will be less, and, headphones will be more comfortable than in-ear headphones. In-ear headphones generally directly into the ear, direct stimulation of the ear, long time high frequency use, will cause damage to the hearing, in-ear headphones are not suitable for long-term use, the ear will be uncomfortable.
