Stereo headphones are transducers are worn over the head, allowing the user to listen privately. Just like regular speakers, they receive audio signals from MP3 players, CD players, VCRs, or televisions and transmit them through their built-in speakers.
Corded stereo headphones come with stereo audio cables that can connect to any standard audio device like a home stereo, CD player, or MP3 player. The more advanced models have active noise reduction capabilities that reduce outside noise by as much as 22 decibels. They can be powered by several AAA batteries or electricity using AC power cords. Corded stereo headphones are available in closed, open, behind the head, and earclip types.
Wireless stereo headphones
Wireless stereo headphones use infrared (IR) technology to transmit audio signals from an audio source such as a stereo, CD player, or MP3 player to their receivers. Some models have advanced IR technologies that block interference from radio sources. A typical unit is made up of a stereo transmitter, an audio cord, and a receiver. Wireless stereo headphones come with additional accessories like adapter plugs and AC power cords.
Wireless function: If you move around a lot, choose a wireless stereo headphone that works regardless of your distance from the DVD player or television. For ultimate flexibility and convenience, choose a model that can carry audio signals up to 125 feet despite barriers like walls, doors, or windows.
Outdoor use: For outdoor use while running or jogging, choose compact, corded stereo headphones that can be clipped conveniently and unobtrusively behind your ears.
