I thought as much. These are all important headphone terms that everyone needs to know.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ever had a hard time reading through or just following a conversation about headphones simply because you didn\u2019t know the terms?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, you&#8217;re in luck, here\u2019s a glossary with easy-to-understand explanations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>1) 2.4 GHZ<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s start with this one out of all the headphone terms. It&#8217;s relatively new and common wireless frequency, it allows you to have 2.4GHz wireless headphones that have a longer range of coverage, can transmit data through radio frequencies and are less prone to interferences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3653\" src=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/adam-birkett-vISNAATFXlE-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"wireless headphones\" width=\"4000\" height=\"6000\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>2) 900 MHZ<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an older wireless frequency, it also allows you to have wireless headphones that can transmit data through radio frequencies and have a pretty decent coverage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3) ALL DISCRETE<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Integrated circuits are nice, but not all audio equipment use them. Some audio equipment prefer to have separated individual components such as resistors, transistors, and capacitors.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some experts believe that individual components bring about superior sound.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>4) AMPLIFIER<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Left to their own devices, the audio signals coming from your phone, computer or music player are usually not powerful enough to drive your speakers or headphones. Thus we need an amplifier to amplify the audio signals from low power to high power.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>5) ATTENUATOR<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes the audio signal is too noisy, that\u2019s where an attenuator comes in, it helps to reduce the volume of the audio signal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>6) AUTOMATIC CALL DISTRIBUTOR<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a phone system mostly used in call centers where they receive a lot of incoming calls. the ACD is automated to route all these calls to different operators.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>By the way, if you&#8217;re struggling with noise in call centers, or during remote conferencing generally you can use noise cancelling app called <a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\">Krisp<\/a> to mute all the background noise on both ends, it launched on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/we-made-214500-set-new-record-appsumo-deals-arto-minasyan\">Appsumo Deals<\/a> quite recently.<\/p>\n<h2><b>7) BALANCED HEADPHONES\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are headphones that have balanced cable, it uses 3 conductors; 2 for the positive and negative phases of the signal and 1 for the ground, this arrangement serves to prevent hums and interferences.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>8) BEHIND-THE-NECK<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are commonly known as \u201cneckband\u201d headphones because rather than have a headband that goes over your head, they have what you call a neckband that drapes around your neck, they are useful when you\u2019re exercising because they are stable during movement, they are also useful when you&#8217;re covering your head with a helmet or hat. There you have it &#8211; one of the fun headphone terms.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>9) BIAURAL OR BINAURAL<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are headphones that have speakers for both ears thereby allowing you to listen to binaural audio (audio that has one tone but two different frequencies).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>10) BLUETOOTH<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus is essentially one of the technologies that help to eliminate all wires and cable when connecting devices to one another. Thanks to Bluetooth technology, your headphones can do without wires.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>11) BOOM MICROPHONE<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For some headphones, a boom microphone usually grows out of the external side of one of the earcups and extends via an arm (boom) to a fixed position close to the mouth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why should you care? When you use a boom microphone while calling, no matter how vigorously you move your head the volume of your voice still remains constant to the caller.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>12) CLOSED-BACK<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the direct opposite of open-back headphones. A headphone is said to be closed-back when the outer part (back) of the headphone is closed or sealed completely in such a way that sound only goes into the ear and doesn\u2019t escape via the opposite direction. These make for better noise isolation, thus ensuring that your audio entertainment doesn\u2019t disturb the people around you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>13) CONVERTIBLE HEADPHONES<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people, depending on their unique circumstances, want to wear on-ear headphones at a point and over-the-ear headphones at another. If you\u2019re one of such people, rather than buy 2 headphones, you might want to consider a convertible headphone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A convertible headphone as the name implies is one that can quickly be switched between 2 or more wearing styles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>14) CLIPPING<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For sound waves or signals to get transmitted in speakers and headphones, they are converted into electronic signals. However there are times when the amplifier is overdriven to produce a signal which is more powerful than it can handle, such signals are cut or clipped once they get to the amplifiers maximum capacity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>15) CUSTOM EARPHONES<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve heard of a bespoke suit or shoe, one that\u2019s tailored specifically for you, it suits and fits you perfectly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, that\u2019s the same idea behind custom earphones, only this time, rather than a tailor taking your body measurements, it\u2019s an audiologist that injects some fast-setting liquid into your ears. This sets into an impression of your ear and it\u2019s used to make your custom earphones.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>16) CURRENT<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The flow of electrons in an electrical circuit, it is measured in Amperes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>17) DIRECTIONAL MICROPHONES<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are usually attached to headphones and they only pick up incoming sounds from a certain direction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3651\" src=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/petr-machacek-BeVGrXEktIk-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"microphone on headset headphone terms\" width=\"5065\" height=\"3377\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>18) DECIBEL<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as \u201ccalories\u201d is the basic unit of energy as written on food labels, \u201cdecibels\u201d is the basic unit of sound.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>19) DIY<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do It Yourself, this is speaking to the fact that many audio equipment such as amplifiers, are made so that you can build or assemble them by yourself with very little or no supervision.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>20) DRIVER<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the component inside the headphone that converts electrical signals into sound that is heard by the ear.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>21) IN-EAR<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an earphone that goes into the ear canal and secures itself in place there. And because people are different and as such have different ears, most of these earphones come with 2-5 different sizes of tips to choose from to ensure a firm and painless fit with as many ear types as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>22) MP3 &#8211; MPEG LAYER 3 FILE<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To reduce the storage space an audio file occupies, it is converted to MP3 format.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>23) ISOLATION<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ever stuck your earphones in when you\u2019re in a noisy place? How did it go? Horrible? Oh that\u2019s because your earphones don\u2019t isolate well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Isolation refers to the ability of a headphone to block the surrounding ambient noise from getting into the listeners ears.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>24) NOISE CANCELLING HEADPHONES<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/choose-noise-cancelling-headphones\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">headphones<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that when worn, helps the listener eliminate background noise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How? By picking up noise from the surroundings and then producing an anti-phase sound wave of equal magnitude but an opposite shape which is then fed back into your headphones to eliminate the background noise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for more detailed <a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/headset\/\">headset information<\/a> or trying to decide between different models, a <a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/headset-comparison\/\">headset comparison<\/a> can be incredibly useful.<\/p>\n<p>Also check out: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/noise-science-terms-glossary\/\">Glossary: 50 Terms to Know About Noise Science<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><b>25) ON-EAR<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On-ear headphones are those that sit directly on the ear in such a way that some part of the outer ear is still visible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A popular example of on-ear headphones is the <a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/headset\/logitech-h340\/\">Logitech H340<\/a>, which is known for its comfort and clear sound quality, making it a great choice for everyday use.<\/p>\n<h2><b>26) OVER-EAR<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over-ear headphones are those that cover the whole ear and sits directly on the skull.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A great example of this type is the <a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/headset\/jabra-evolve-85\/\">Jabra Evolve 85<\/a>, which provides exceptional noise cancellation and comfort, making it ideal for extended listening sessions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3652\" src=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/anthony-brolin-awkQE_B6Nec-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"over ear headphones\" width=\"5194\" height=\"3457\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>27) OMNI-DIRECTIONAL<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are microphones that are capable of picking up incoming sounds equally from any direction\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>28) VoIP<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last one of the headphone terms!
