How to choose headphones?

The best would be for you to are the headphones feel in my ears. Anyway, comfort is paramount. For casual user it is better to take dynamic in-ear headphones, as they are relatively cheap and accessible to the mass buyer. A great alternative can be a full-sized wireless model, only need to pay for the quality of performance of the "ears" that the material began to flake off prematurely and my ears did not sweat.

If your budget is not limited, you are a long time in one place – an electrostatic is the best option. For games and recording studios are best suited wired hybrid model, as they transmit a sound without distortions and restrictions on communication channels.
