CNET editors' buying advice
We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on Headphones. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of headphone.
Headphones and your Personal Health
Headphones are a cultural norm - no matter where you are, people utilizing them while exercising, commuting, studying or working.
Advances in technology have increased battery life and storage capacity resulting in users listening with headphones at loud decibels for prolonged periods of time. Headphone users' listening habits have audiologists alarmed. Younger people are exhibiting hearing loss normally found in older adults.
Prevention is essential to protecting your hearing. Below are five tips that can potentially reduce hearing loss:
- Decrease the volume.
- Utilize the volume limiter on your portable device (if applicable).
- Take five - give your ears a time out frequently.
- Never use your headphones to drown out background noise such as subway or city traffic.
- Invest in sound-isolating or noise-canceling headphones.

Ear-pad headphones
Ear pad or on-ear headphones rest on your outer ears and run the gamut from inexpensive portables to high-end home models. Some, but not all models fold-up for easy transport. While ear-pad headphones can have closed designs that cover the ears, they are never fully sealed as are full-size circumaural models. As a result, they're generally very comfortable and less prone to overheating ears than full-size headphones. However, they are also less effective at noise isolation than in-ear or full-size models, and offer less powerful bass compared with full-size headphones.
