Headphones

               Headphones can be necessary for listening to music while in a place occupied by other people.  There are several different types of headphones meant for different types of listening and different people.  When purchasing a set of headphones, a person would want to consider how comfortable they would be and how the style would fit the individual person.  Headphones can vary greatly in price depending on the brand and the style or form that the headphones make.  Beats by Dre can cost more than a hundred dollars just for one pair, while some headphones can cost as much as one dollar. 
                The headphones that aren’t connected from a bar going across the top of a person’s head are convenient when wanting to listen to something with a friend.  The person on the left would put in the right headphone and listen while the person on the right would put in the left headphone and listen.  Headphones that are connected with a bar going across the top of a person’s head are convenient when a person just wants to listen to something alone and not have too much outside noise sneak in.  There are also the headphones that have voice speakers in them for talking into when on the phone.  With so many different types of headphones, each type would fit a different person depending on how they decide to use them. 
                If you get headphones that go inside the ear, they can be hard plastic that just stay in the opening of the ear or there can be the squishy rubber that can be more comfortable and inserted deeper in the ear.  Some people have sensitive ears and don’t like having things go inside them, so it all depends on what works best for you.  Some headphone can even curl around the ear and create less stress on the inner ear. 
                While headphones may be convenient when wanting to listen to music and not disturb other people, they can also be harmful because it would be up close sound going directly into the ear that could cause damage.  Along with causing damage, the headphones can get disgusting if they are not cleaned or if a person does not clean their ears.  Earwax can cling to the headphones and be spread from person to person if the headphones are shared and not cleaned regularly after each use. 
                Headphones are essential and needed by every music lover on the go.  They provide music to each person individually while not upsetting other people around them by playing certain music (unless of course the person is playing it so loud that the people around them can hear it also).
