Sound Isolating Earphones: A Must Have For Audiophiles & Gamers

By Colleen Lynch

Picture yourself rocking out in front of 50,000 screaming fans. Despite the blaring guitars and the roar of the crowd, you still hear the sound of your voice as you hit the high notes of your chart-topping single. Even if you’re not quite a rock star just yet, there are still major advantages to quality, sound isolating earphones.

Something to be aware of when choosing a pair of headphones is that manufacturers use two different terminologies to describe their products: “noise canceling” and “sound isolating” earphone technology. While both are acceptable options for avid listeners, most people are unaware of the subtle differences between the two.

Generally speaking, “sound isolating” is slightly more effective than “noise canceling.” Without going into yawn inspiring technical terms, noise canceling earphones often produce slight feedback. Yes, it’s probably only noticeable to the most neurotic listeners, but this may be a deal breaker for the audio elite. In addition, noise canceling headphones are often bulky and battery-operated, which can be a real pain.

Sound isolating headphones, however, provide a more secure fit between earphone and ear canal. This helps to block any unwanted background noise from interfering with you’re listening experience. Also, it allows you to hear the detailed sounds in crystal clear quality at extremely low volumes. Sound isolating technology means there’s no need to crank it to 11 just to hear the flutes arrangement in Stairway to Heaven and no need to worry about permanently damaging your hearing.
