Head Phones

Headphones: Something to Consider
Ringing...

Headphones... The simple... Often forgotten piece of gear that pays our bills. They can also be the source of distress..

Beethoven's father boxed his ears resulting in a perpetual ringing that permeated his life.

Over the years I've noticed the "boxing" effect to occur in a profession that lives by the spoken word. Every shift of the cans or snap of the ear piece takes a toll and results in an ever increasing rise in the internal noise floor.

The simple act of adjusting a set of Sennheiser HD-25s while covering your ears adds to this effect. An example I notice is that when I adjust the height of the ear while wearing the cans the friction of the ear piece sliding along the headband bar generates a slight ringing in the ear. Something to consider over the course of a long career.

Sometimes its the boring thoughts that really need to be shared.

Mind your ears!

My long favorite Sennheiser HD25's!
