Can i wear a headphone on top of earphon năm 2024

Some might wonder how people are able to wear headphones for hours without hurting their ears. Well, it’s all about how you wear them. It may not be rocket science, but wearing a pair of headphones properly can make a difference between comfort and irritation. Let’s look at a few key things to keep in mind when wearing a pair of headphones.

How to wear Headphones correctly?

The in-ear earphones are among the most popular ones out there. Regardless of whether you have a wired one or wireless earbuds, they both are worn in a similar fashion. Since they go inside your ear, a snug fit is the most important criteria. Before putting them on, determine the left and right earbuds first so that you can avoid making a rookie mistake.

1. Hold the top part of your ear and pull it up a little and insert the ear tips to create a reliable seal.

2. This will also maximise passive noise cancellation as well as prevent a form of sound leakage.

3. Some might prefer pulling their earlobes while inserting the earbuds, and that too is fine. After all, not all ear shapes are the same and comfort varies from one person to another.

4. Avoid pushing earbuds too forcefully as it might create some air pressure and start hurting your ears after a bit.

5. As far as wires are concerned, let them dangle straight. Don’t try to fold them or tie them as it can damage the wires.

Over-ear and on-ear headphones are different thus they require a different approach. Whether you have wireless or wired headphones, this applies to both.

1. Firstly, you may want to just wear the headphones and get the feel of them. Just determine the left and right sides of the headphone and put them on.

2. Align the headband over the middle part of your head as this will give you a snug fit as well as comfort and assurance.

3. Now adjust the headband according to the shape of your head and make sure the weight of the headphones is distributed over your head and not falling right on your ears as it will start getting uncomfortable quickly.

4. Make sure it is snug, and not too tight.

5. For on-ear headphones, you need to fiddle with the ear pads a little as they sit directly on the ears. You can try to leave out the topmost part of your ears while adjusting.

How to wear headphones properly with glasses?

Glasses don’t pose a problem while wearing in-ear earphones. But when wearing headphones, they tend to press on the “arms” of your glasses on your head which becomes uncomfortable quickly. There isn’t a foolproof way that is going to work for everyone.

The logic remains the same whether you wear glasses or not, but you can do a few things differently to achieve a more comfortable fit. Having said that, there are a couple of tips that you can try out which will certainly help you.

1. Many say that wearing glasses after wearing headphones can drastically make it more comfortable.

2. While wearing headphones you should go for a snug fit, rather than go one size bigger than what you would have adjusted it to.

3. Another way is to just try to place the ear cups slightly lower on your ears to avoid them pressuring against the arms of your glasses.

4. If these don’t help, then you might consider getting a headphone with softer ear pads or headphones with more headband adjustability.

Regardless of what and how you wear your headphones make sure the volume levels aren’t too loud as prolonged exposure to loud noises can be harmful or in severe cases, may damage your hearing as well.

No matter what kind of headphones you’re using, they may take a bit of adjustment to get the perfect fit. On-ear and over-ear headphones are the most traditional, with the ear cups fitting snugly over each ear. In-ear headphones and earbuds need to be placed inside the ear.

1. Your device, whether it’s an iPod, laptop, or smartphone, has an audio input that your headphone jack should fit into perfectly. An mp3 player only has one input, which takes any guesswork out of the equation. For a laptop or larger device, you may need to check around the perimeter and on the back to find the right audio input.
   • The headphone jack should pop into the input without having to be forced. If yours won’t fit, the headphones may be incompatible with the device.
   • If you have wireless headphones, use your device’s Bluetooth connection to link the headphones to it.
2. Many headphones specify which ear cup goes over the left ear and which one goes over the right. Check around your ear cups for the “L” and “R” markings, which mean "Left" and "Right."
   • If you find these markings, follow the instructions for distinguishing which ear cups goes over which ear.
   • If you don’t find these markings, you can wear the cups over either ear.
3. The band that connects the cups should fit snugly over the top of your head. Most headphone bands are adjustable, so if the fit isn’t comfortable, try adjusting it. Tug at the band to see if it gets smaller or larger, then adjust as needed.
4. Adjust them a bit so that the cups cover your ears comfortably. Over-ear headphones, which have large cushions as ear cups, create a slight seal effect over each ear, which cancels out noise during use. On-ear headphones are smaller, and the cups are usually around the size of your ear. They will fit directly over the ear hole.
   • You may need to remove your earrings if you find that the cups push into the jewelry uncomfortably.

1. In-ear headphones look a lot like ear buds, but they aren’t worn in exactly the same way. Ear buds hang from the crevices of your ear-folds, whereas in-ear headphones are inserted directly into the ear canals. Start by situating the squishy tip gently in your ear hole, over the canal. Don’t push it in, just get it in place.
2. Tug your left earlobe down gently with your right hand, which will widen your ear canal. Use your left index finger to carefully push the squishy tip of the left ear speaker into your left ear canal.
   • You do not need to push far. The tip fits just inside the canal.
3. Once you’ve inserted the speaker gently into the ear canal, let go of your earlobe. Your ear canal will return to its normal size, causing the walls of your ear canal to hug the speaker. This creates a seal, which ensures good audio. Without getting that proper seal, the audio quality might suffer.
   • You've achieved the proper seal when the sound around you is almost impossible to pick up. You will feel enclosed, in a way, because all sound is isolated in your canal.
4. Gently pull down the lobe and insert the speaker. Release the earlobe to create the seal, which cancels out background noise and provides quality audio. You may need to repeat this a few times until you get a feel for how your headphones fit. Always be gentle and never shove the speakers into your ear canals.
5. In-ear headphones aren’t one size fits all, and there should be a range of squishy rubber tips that came with your earphones. These different sizes fit different-sized ear canals. Start with the smallest tips first and, if those doesn’t fit comfortably, go up a size. Keep trying until you find the size that creates that perfect seal.
   • If rubber tips aren’t working for you, go online to purchase foam tips. These tend to work well for most hard-to-fit people.

1. Some ear bud brands may specify which speaker goes into which ear. “L” means left ear, and “R” means right. The most common kind of ear buds, such as those made by Apple that come with iPods, usually do not have this.
   • If you don’t see a clear marking, you can place the speakers in either ear.
2. Situate the bud in your ear by hooking it into the into the ear hole. The plastic stem connecting the bud to the wire should line up in the same direction as your jawline. Do not push it into your ear canal. It should hang in the crevice in the outer part of your ear-fold.
3. Repeat the same action for your right ear by gently situating the rounded bud into the outer part of your ear hole. Adjust carefully and avoid pushing the ear bud into your ear canal.
4. Ear buds are notorious for falling out of the ears, especially during exercise. If this is happening to you, search online for accessories that you can pair with your buds to keep them in place. There is a wide range of different approaches to this, so do a little research and choose the accessory that best addresses your issue.
