E-book Title: The Headphone Guide
Author: Stephen Blake
Book Description: Hello,
My name is Stephen Blake and I am the Editor of The Headphone Guide.
Whether you are unsure about which headphones to buy, how to connect them (it's not always as easy as it looks), the poor sound you are getting or even what a headphone amplifier does, this is THE Guide that you need.
The truth about headphones
Unfortunately, most headphones and earphones are supplied as a commodity with little or no interest shown by the manufacturer in sound quality.
This is especially true of most portable players. Many of them actually sound quite good, but you will never know unless you bin the supplied earphones. Even the market leading Apple iPod benefits considerably through the use of some surprisingly inexpensive earphones.
And the same is true with home audio systems. Most compact "lifestyle" systems have a headphone socket, but how often do you use it? And if you have, was it with the earphones that came with your portable player, or some dodgy headphones you bought at the supermarket?
Because of this, most high-end audio manufacturers believe that the headphone socket will very likely never be used, which is why so many hi-fi amplifiers no longer have a headphone socket.
The solution to all your headphone problems
- Do you have a noisy commute every week day?
- Do you listen to music on your office computer, but wish the sound was better?
- Are you away on business a lot and wish you could take your hi-fi and CD collection with you?
- Are you a student away from home and missing your music system or parents' A/V surround system?
Believe it or not, the right headphones (or earphones) and the right information about suitable accessories will solve all the above problems. And how. But where can you can get all the answers you need explained in an easy to understand, non-technical format?
The Headphone Guide has practical and surprisingly inexpensive solutions to all these problems - and many others.
The Headphone Guide includes 90 pages of hints and tips designed to ensure you are getting the best possible sound from your equipment, followed by detailed reviews (with photos) of what we consider to be the best sounding products at a variety of price points.
Today there are some very good headphones on the market, at all price points and well suited to a variety of applications.
Top tips from the experts
We all listen to music, but how much better could your experience be through your headphones? Probably a lot better than you are getting at the moment.
Unfortunately, the quality of sound through most headphones - especially those supplied with portables - is very poor. We show you how a small investment can make a huge difference in the sound of your music and movies.
Further up the equipment chain, another problem is that most hi-fi equipment today doesn't even have a headphone socket.
This Guide will show you how to connect up a pair of headphones even when there isn't an appropriate socket - as well as many other tips and problem solvers that will greatly improve your listening experience.
The Headphone Guide will show you how to:
- Choose the right headphones for your equipment
- Choose the right headphones for your needs
- Connect headphones to your hi-fi - even when there isn't a socket
- Ensure that you are getting the best sound from your headphones
And all this in an easy to understand, friendly format.
Rest assured, this guide is not just a catalogue of the thousands of headphones available or a technical guide for the electronics expert.
The products we have included are intended to be a representative sample of excellent products to suit all budgets, and all have been subjected to long term test and evaluation.
A world of your own
And better sound isn't the only reason to consider a pair of good headphones or headphone amplifier. With portable players you have to use headphones, but in the home environment we tend to listen through a system's loudspeakers.
Whether it's the TV, home computer, the kid's stereo or the home hi-fi, they all produce sound this way. So, if you want to escape all the noise around you and enjoy some music or even a good film, headphones are the answer. Which is where this Guide comes in.
There are a lot of products out there, some of which are very good but almost impossible to find, and many which are easy to find and best left where you found them.
So we have done the initial selection for you. We have endeavoured to include a representative sample of good products that are widely available.
But that is only half the story. Connecting a good headphone amplifier will raise the performance of your system to a completely new level.
Depending on how serious you are about your music, you can even buy a battery-powered headphone amp to use with your portable player when away from a convenient power socket.
Whether you have a box room or a living room the size of Belgium, it doesn't matter as room size and acoustics will have no influence over the sound of your headphones, unlike a traditional speaker-based system.
And the sound quality of a good headphone system will be as good as a top hi-fi system costing at least ten times as much.
You will probably be staggered at just how good your music or film sounds when you first hear it through your new headphone system.
If you haven't noticed, headphone listening is currently enjoying a huge resurgence, so why don't you join the revolution.
However, our Headphone Guide isn't free. Why? Because we don't sell the headphones or accessories that we recommend and we don't accept advertising from the manufacturers.
That way you can be certain that the advice and reviews from our panel of experts is written with one simple aim - to provide you with relevant, useful and totally unbiased information.
So, for the price of a couple of glossy magazines you can have a guide that will almost certainly save its purchase cost many times over by either preventing you wasting your money on the wrong product or improving the sound of your existing headphones.
You can order The Headphone Guide right now and be reading it in just a few minutes. Follow the link below for full ordering information and details on how to receive the FREE guide on computer audio that we promised you earlier.
