Headphones and Sports

Headphones have been around for many years but in these days of health and fitness regimes, it has become apparent that specialized headsets are necessary.

Normal portable headsets virtually bounce off the head when the user is jogging or doing other physical exercise. This can distract from the aim of the exercise.

Others are far too big or cut out all of the peripheral sound potentially placing the user in a dangerous position. Imagine being deep into the exercise with the music adding to the intensity. The user could easily run into a busy road or into another dangerous position without being fully aware.

Apart from fitting securely the headphone set must be easy to clean and also be able to be used in low temperatures. Added ability to resist sweat and humidity is also a
requisite for this type of headset.

Some headphones come with a lanyard, ideal for joggers, with removable straps to attach the player to a neckband if necessary.

Others come with extension cords so that the player can be carried in the pocket.

Perhaps the most unusual headphone set yet is the one replacing the headband model. The Sennheiser LX70 sports model consists of a thin flexible plastic tube with a metal inner core.

It is impossibly light and yet extremely tough and is possibly one of the best sets for sports available. The price is around $55.

Whichever sport you play it is imperative that you find exactly the right model that fits the sport you play.

Noise Reducing Headphones

Have you ever been the victim of suffering unwanted noise whether it be in the home or your work environment?

The answer is in a set of headphones that are specifically made to cancel out the offending sound.

They work by producing an ‘anti-noise’ device in the headset. Simply speaking, if a noise is made with the opposite polarity of the offending noise, then it cancels it out. This means that music can be listened to at a lower volume or indeed the intrepid air traveler can sleep on a noisy aircraft.

The anti-noise system was created, not for the home user, but for the workers who are around aircraft or heavy machinery. It was applied to headsets for long haul pilots and eventually for home users.

Some airlines offer the sound canceling headphones in their first-class sections. The ‘anti-noise’ can even be played back through the headrests making a far more peaceful environment for traveling long distances.

The continuous hum of aircraft engines can be rather disconcerting on long flights. However, if you really want to cut out background noise while you concentrate on the music or perhaps that seminar
recording, this type of headphone will be beneficial.

It appears that you only get what you pay for. Some of these headsets can be bought for under $100 but the sound canceling qualities are not as good as the high end headphones.

Here you can pay upwards of $300 – $400. A high price to pay for a little peace and quiet!
