When we plan to buy a device on which to store and listen to music, we usually think in terms of an MP4 player or a mobile phone with advanced music features and so on. We look at how many GB of music the device can store (the more the GB, the greater the number of songs it can store). We look at whether the device has FM radio. We worry about compatibility with our computers and so on. But think about it: it's finally the headphones we use that ultimately deliver the music to our ears.

Technology has transformed the humble headphone. Gone are the days when headphones were clunky or had sponge that would come off, making them painful to use. Now you have sleek ones that match the looks of your MP4 player, smartphone or iPod. Do you listen to music on the move- at airports, train stations, at the mall and so on? Is the ambient noise inherent in such locations taking away from your enjoyment? Do not fret. Instead, just buy a set of noise cancelling headphones, and Bob's your uncle. The technology embedded in noise-cancelling sets reduces the ambient noise, leaving you to listen to unadulterated music. ...

Companies that manufacture headphones devote a lot of time and attention to understand customer needs and preferences. That explains why you now have sets with adjustable headbands. If you are always getting the wires in a twist, buy a wireless model. The wireless technology may be Bluetooth or some other proprietary technology. So make sure that what you buy is compatible with you audio devices. If you don't, you could end up with a useless piece of equipment. Look mom, no wires! But don't let that kid you. Sound quality is just as good. Depending on what you are most comfortable with, go for a set that is "in ear", "on ear", "over the ear" or "behind the neck".

Often, your headphones are integrated into a headset that also has a microphone built in. This is especially useful if you often spend long hours on the phone. Use a headset. Keep your hands free for typing up notes- or gesticulating if you are on a video call so you can drive home your point more forcefully. If you are one of those people wondering why the price of gold seems to be on steroids, here is a little secret. Gold is used to plate electronic components that go into various appliances. That increases demand. In a world where supply is limited (or does not increase as fast as demand does), the result is higher prices. Or so economists would have us believe. Many top-of-the-line headphones do, in fact, use gold plated connectors. This ensures longevity. It also improves sound quality.

There are many brands of headphones available, straddling different price points. Better-known brands like Sennheiser and Bose are at the top end. But there are many other brands that are available at lower price points and offer comparable performance. In fact, if you are more the average music lover and not a DJ or sound recording technician, chances are you will not be able to make out the difference in sound quality. Good luck with your headphone purchase.
