<p>Of all the everyday technology that impacts our quality of life, particularly at work, headphones are high on the list. A great pair of headphones can make any listening experience more enjoyable. Headphones can vary in features and quality, so it&rsquo;s important to understand what to look for when buying new ones. The key to choosing the best headphones depends on identifying their intended use.</p>
<p>Here are the most important questions to consider when choosing your next pair of headphones for work:</p>
<h2>1. What type of headphones do you want?</h2>
<p>Over-ear headphones cover your entire ear and are the most common design for headphones because of their extreme comfort and great sound quality. On-ear headphones rest on your ears and are smaller than over-ear headphones. In-ear headphones and earbuds rest inside your ears but are not typically popular for work environments. The type of headphones you prefer is largely a matter of personal choice.</p>

<h2>2. Do you want a wired or wireless design?</h2>
<p>Wired headphones often provide a perfect, full-strength signal, however, with them you remain tethered to your device whether it&rsquo;s a phone, computer, or tablet. Wireless headphones enable free movement through Bluetooth connectivity. Wireless headphones are battery powered, but if the batteries die, they can often be used by connecting a cable.</p>

<h2>3. What style of headphones do you want?</h2>
<p>Closed-back headphones, which cover the ear completely, are totally sealed (meaning they&rsquo;re designed with no holes to the outside world) to reduce ambient noise. Open-back headphones incorporate holes and/or perforations to the exterior sound. Therefore, open-back headphones do not block out external noise as well but do create a more natural, open and airy listening experience.</p>

<h2>4. Do you want any additional features?</h2>
<p>If you&rsquo;re selecting a set of headphones for work, it&rsquo;s important to consider if you would utilize an integrated microphone. Additional features, such as active noise cancellation and foldable design for over-ear headphones, are optional considerations in the headphone-buying process.</p>

<h2>5. What specs matter most to you?</h2>
<p>Some specs you should look for when buying new headphones:</p>
<ul>
<li>Battery life</li>
<li>Cable length</li>
<li>Driver size</li>
<li>Frequency response</li>
<li>Impedance</li>
<li>Sensitivity</li>
<li>Total harmonic distortion</li>
</ul>
<p>Look for the specs to determine the sound quality of the headphones and whether they will provide an enjoyable listening experience. The sound quality is a very important factor in selecting headphones, but it should not be the only one. It&rsquo;s essential to purchase comfortable headphones too, as styles vary widely in comfort depending on their design. The shape and size of your headphones, including the ear pads, have a lot to do with the level of comfort. Flexibility to the shape of your head and ears also matters &mdash; headphones should fit tight and snug.</p>
