Types Of Headphones

By Adam Baker


Dynamic earphones are utilizing a moving coil driver. A moving coil driver only denotes that there's a magnet within the cheap headphones, which creates a static magnetic area. A voice coil mounted on a diaphragm is positioned within the magnetic area along with a current operates with the voice coil which makes it make the diaphragm to vibrate and convey seem waves.

Most dynamic headphones need little electricity for it to work. Due to this, the majority of headphones on the market are dynamic headphones. These are used by average music listeners, musicians and professional studio mixers alike.

Typically the most popular makers within the tunes industry which create dynamic earphones, consists of Sony, Beyer, Sennheiser, Grado, Audio Technica, Philips, JVC and iLuv. They can easily cost $5 or $500 and may be cabled or wifi, open air or closed back, earphones or pro studio.

Pros of dynamic headphones are that they are widely available and are usually cheaper that orthodynamic and electrostatic ones. Since little electricity is needed to drive them, most of them will work with portable devices and computers without a need of a headphone amp. A headphone amp is a miniaturized power amplifier specifically designed to drive the tiny speakers inside the headphones.8:51 AM 8/30/2011

Electrostatic headsets have motors, that don't use a voice coil. The diaphragm is rather energized with electrical energy. The diaphragm is positioned among a pair of electric energized metal plates, which are punctured. As soon as the diaphragm moves, oxygen mixes with the perforated metal plates creating an audio wave.

Electrostatic headphones are usually more expensive than dynamic headphones, and are comparatively uncommon. Due to the diaphragm and two metal plates, which are needed to be charged with electricity, the headphones need a big amount of electricity to drive.

The amount is so much that normal amps which drive dynamic and/or orthodynamic headphones just won't cut it. A special headphone amplifier is needed which often requires electrical potentials in the range of 100 to 1000 volts.
