Best earphone cases:how to choose them

1.Choose between earbuds or headphones.

Earbuds are best for people who are short on space, but still want a way to listen to their music. The higher-quality earbuds, like from Sennheiser or Ultimate Ears, usually come with little cases to put your earbuds in when you're not using them, so they won't get ruined or dirty at the bottom of your bag. If you keep a very small purse and want to keep your iPod Nano and earbuds together in it, or you have limited pocket space, earbuds are probably a better choice. They're also great if you are on a limited budget, because there's a lot more to choose from and they tend to cost less.

Cheaper earbuds often run into problems like falling out of ears, hurting ears, or simply making dents in them from the cheap plastic. With higher prices (but still low-end in terms of quality) ranging from $25-50, you'll get more comfortable 'buds, and they are well worth the money you spend. However, if you're an audiophile, you should consider other options.

High-end earbuds like lEMs (In-Ear-Monitors) can eliminate most of the problems encountered by cheap earbuds, including durability and comfort. If you're interested in good sound quality but don't want to use bulky headphones, you might even want to consider ClEMs (Custom In-Ear Monitors) that are designed specifically to fit your ears.

Headphones are great if you enjoy putting them around your neck while you're walking from one place to another, or if you just carry your headphones that way. You also tend to get beefier cords and fun options like wireless/bluetooth headphones. The drawback is that good headphones within your budget might be hard to find.

if you have long hair, and you hate headphones that press your hair down or dislike headphones that irritate your ear piercings, DJ-style headphones would be a good choice. Besides that, there are very few things that separate them from DJ-style or "regular" headphones.

If you have sensitive ears or are hard-of-hearing, bone induction headphones can be helpful and comfortable. These look like minimalistic headphones, but they actually clip to your jaw and send vibrations to the bones of your inner ear. Since they don't cover your ears or isolate any background noise, these are also an excellent choice if you exercise outside in an area where you need to be aware of your surroundings.

2.Pay attention to the sound insulation effect of headphones, it will affect your happiness index.

This refers to how well they keep music in and block outside noise. Nothing is more annoying than having to turn up your volume to drown out the sound of the bus. There's also the fact that if you're rather deaf, enjoy turning your music up loud, or use it to drown out background noise and the headphones are very open, you'll end up giving everyone around you something to gossip about. Sound isolation will also keep you from having to waste precious battery life or turn up the volume to hear properly.Earbuds and in-ear headphones tend to be better at sound isolation, due to the seal they provide in your ear.

When buying over-the-ear stereo headphones, notice if they are open-backed or closed-backed. Open headphones tend to sound more natural and not distorted, but people will hear your music and you'll hear the environment around you. They're recommended for home and tend to be more comfortable.

Closed headphones isolate noise better and sound more like the music is in your head, not in the environment. They tend to be less comfortable and have some reverberation from sound waves bouncing off of the closed, plastic back. Some people like closed-backed for the booming bass sound and isolation, while some prefer open-backed for the natural and precise sound.

3.Investigate the frequency range.

A wider frequency range means you can hear more from the music; large ranges such 10 Hz to 25,000 Hz will often be recommended.More importantly, notice the sound curve, frequency response curve, sound signature. If the low end is higher on the line graph, there will be more bass. This does not mean that the bass will be more precise or better. For example, Beats headphones tend to be very bass boosted, yet the bass is commonly described as muddy and boomy with no precision.

Typically, the mid-range may sound "fun" and pleasing to the ears at first, but you won't be able to analyze the layers of music easily. Flat response headphones don't favor any range, meaning you'll hear every layer of the music equally. However, the first impression if you're used to U curves is usually "they sound boring".

4.Test them out.

The best way, really, to know if headphones can go loud enough for you is to test them out. Try on a friend's pair (if they're cool like that) or go to a good electronics store that will let you try on the headphones，while you learn what types of headphones you really want. Out of courtesy, however, always clean the wax out of your ears before trying on any headphones or earbuds!

5.Choose a headphone with the perfect headphone box.

You may think that the essence of headphones is listening to music. As long as the sound quality is perfect and noise-free, all other problems can be ignored. However, if your headphones have a nice comfy earphone box packaging, that's a great thing. Simple white headphone packaging boxes, retro wooden protective case for earphone, all kinds of headphone box for you to choose.

A comfortable headphone box can protect your headphones from damage and improve your happiness in using them. A nice appearance always gives a pleasant feeling when you see a delicate headphone box, you will be in a better mood!Enjoy your headphones! You are the person who is going to be using these headphones day in day out.
