THE EAR HUNTER
Things to keep in mind when going in on earphones..

1. Look for durable materials like metal or composites at fasten points. Avoid pads made of crappy synthetic material; they’re uncomfortable and make your head sweat.

2. Driver size refers to the size of the internal speaker. The larger the driver, the better your ’phones will reproduce a range of frequencies. For in-ear, 10-15mm drivers are solid; for over-the-ear, look for 40mm and up.

3. Noise-Canceling headphones create reverse sound waves to drown distractions; “Sound-Isolating” is a fancy term for “blocks your ear canal so all you hear is music.”
