Office Stereo Headphones

What should I look for when choosing office stereo headphones?

Connections

• Wired headphones (3.5mm jack, USB) - compared with similarly expensive wireless heahphones, they offer better sounds quality but less freedom of movement.
• Wireless headsets (Bluetooth, radio frequency) - with no wires, they provide greater freedom of movement (Bluetooth headsets have a range of approx. 10 metres from the playback device; radio frequency up to 100 metres). Wireless headphones have built-in batteries and must be recharged.

Construction

• Closed - dampen ambient noise.
• Open - provide high-quality sounds (less distortion) but with some ambient noise
• Semi-closed - a compromise between open and closed headphones.

Useful features

• Volume control - located on the headphones or cable.
