How to choose the right ones for you

Marlow/UK, 5 May 2020 – Working (or relaxing) at home while living with others can be a challenge. Someone wants to watch Tiger King but you need to work late, while your other flatmate is hosting an epic virtual pub quiz. What’s the best way to manage it?

You’ve realised that you need to get a pair of headphones - but which ones? Knowledge is power - so Sennheiser has compiled tips to understand headphone design and features:

  • Lightweight in-ear headphones (as it sounds) sit directly in your ear, playing right at your ear canal
  • Over-ear headphones fit around your ears, dialling up the comfort factor
  • Closed back headphones are best for everyday use, as the sound is contained in the ear cups
  • Active noise cancellation helps to shut out the noise while WFH, while transparent hearing allows you to hear ambient noises while listening to music.

Armed with this knowledge, Sennheiser has compiled its ultimate list of in-ear and over-ear headphones, so you can get lost in your music:
