Study Headphones
What Are the Best Headphones for Studying?
With e-learning as popular as it is, study headphones have become an indispensable tool for joining virtual classes or connecting with remote classmates. A good pair of headphones can also help students concentrate on individual reading and preparing for exams.
But how should one go about finding the best headphones for studying?
Focusing on the following key factors is a great start.
Sound Quality
Unsurprisingly, the most important factor is the sound quality. Study headphones will be heavily used for remote classes, online group work, and listening to multimedia while reading. As such, it’s important that both the call and music quality are top-notch.
Students must be able to hear their teacher clearly and understand fellow classmates. As such, look for headphones that provide a clear, natural listening experience when on a call and deliver rich stereo sound when streaming multimedia content.
Microphone Quality
This is the other side of the same coin. Just as the wearer of the headphones needs to hear everyone else, the other side must also clearly hear the wearer. That’s why microphone quality is the next on this list.
The best headphones for studying will come with different features that maximize voice pickup. Many will feature a movable boom arm that brings the microphone closer to the speaker’s mouth. Some headphones even come with noise-canceling microphones to make sure that it’s only the wearer’s voice that comes through instead of any ambient noise.
Speaking of which…
Noise Cancellation
Study headphones should help the wearer concentrate in any environment. Students may often have to study or dial in from noisy places like cafes or public transport. Having a pair of headphones that can effectively block out external noise is invaluable in such cases.
It’s possible to find studying headphones with active noise cancellation (ANC), which adapts to the level of external noise and creates an “anti-noise” signal to cancel the noise out. These types of headphones are especially effective for deep studying sessions where students must really focus on reading while tuning in to their preferred multimedia tracks.
