Open-back vs. Closed-back Headphones: What’s the Difference?

How Noise-canceling Headphones Work & Which Is Right For You

Canceling noise is typically a good thing since noise is defined as any sound that is objectionable. However, the definition of noise varies from listener to listener. The loud roar of a finely tuned F1 engine at 130dB may be music to a Formula 1 driver but noise to a spectator at the track. Similarly, a loud distorted guitar amp onstage may sound sublime to a seasoned guitar player but sound like noise to someone who doesn’t care for that style of music.

About Headphones, Headsets, and Earbuds

Your listening devices are more than tools; they're the gateways to your favorite music and media. Why settle for ordinary when you can elevate your listening experience to exciting new heights?

Whether you're searching for cutting-edge wireless earbuds, high-fidelity headphones, or two-way gaming headsets to stay connected online, you've come to the right place! For 45 years and counting, Sweetwater has been the music and audio communities' trusted source for headphones and accessories that get results.

Not sure where to begin? Feel free to tag in our qualified Sales Engineers at any time by calling (800) 222-4700. We’re happy to make personalized recommendations based on your specific headphone, headset, and earbud criteria.

Headphones

Wired Headphones

Headphones are the primary way music lovers on the move enjoy their media. Wired headphones are thought to deliver the purest reproduction of the source audio, making them ideal for streaming, broadcasting, practicing, and critical listening. Wired headphones are available with closed, open, and semi-open configurations and in on-ear and circumaural styles to suit most users.

Wireless Headphones

Wireless headphones (sometimes called Bluetooth headphones) shed the cord to grant untethered mobility to headphone listeners on the go, making wireless headphones an excellent option for runners, yogis, fitness buffs, and office workers who want the full-fidelity listening experience only headphones can provide. Many wireless headphones also have active noise-canceling (ANC) circuitry built right in to filter out background noise.

Audiophile Headphones

Sweetwater’s audiophile headphones have the sound, fit, and features to cater to our most demanding listeners. Does that mean they’re expensive? Not necessarily. Audiophile sets like the Sennheiser HD 600 deliver premium comfort and sound reproduction without costing an arm and a leg.

Earbuds

When it comes to listening convenience, nothing tops today’s earbud options. Wired or wireless, standard or noise-canceling — earbuds have made it possible to enjoy media on demand from the time we wake up to the time we lie down at night. And thanks to immersive audio being integrated into streaming services like Apple Music, there’s never been a better time to brush up on the latest ’buds.

Headsets

Gaming Headsets

Sales for gaming headsets have soared in recent years thanks to the popularity of online gaming. If you want to remain connected to your squad without missing a beat, then we highly recommend investing in a proper gaming headset. These headphone-microphone combos pack not just elite-level looks — many with RGB accent lighting — but also high-quality audio transducers to keep you immersed and connected without lifting a finger.

Streaming Headsets

There’s a fair deal of overlap between streaming headsets and gaming headsets. Both products feature a circumaural headphone set with integrated boom mics for seamless two-way communication. Streaming headsets specially cater to those in the broadcast industry — including news producers, sportscasters, camera ops, and tech directors — who need uncompromised correspondence when the pressure is on.

Office Headsets

Are you searching for a tool to streamline your workplace communication? An office headset can improve your comfort and quality during those long phone calls or virtual meetings. Office headsets at Sweetwater are available in large over-ear and minimal on-ear styles. Each includes an integrated gooseneck microphone to keep you from craning, leaning, or shouldering throughout another long meeting (which probably should have been an email).

Home Headphone Amps and DACs

Getting the best sound from your headphones may require a separate headphone amplifier. Many headphone amps at Sweetwater come paired with an onboard DAC (digital-to-analog converter) to ensure you get premium sound quality from all sides of your playback source. Discrete headphone amplifiers frequently outperform native headphone drivers of devices like laptops and smartphones, supplying higher and cleaner output and a response tailored to high-impedance audiophile headphones.

Headphone and Earbud Accessories

Earphone and Headphone Cables

2.5mm, 3.5mm, 1/4-inch, MMCX — whatever cable you need for your headphones or earbuds, Sweetwater’s got it. Use the on-site shop filters to pin down your search by cable type or manufacturer. You can also access our handy Cable Finder if you already know what you're after.

Headphone Stands and Holders

You know what they say: tidy desk, tidy mind. Invest in a headphone holder to keep your workspace uncluttered between meetings and listening sessions. These accessories sit freely on your desk or clamp to the edge of a table (or even a boom stand) to keep your headphones and cables safe off the floor and at arm’s length.

Headphone Cases and Bags

Do you love taking your headphones from place to place? You’ll find the road-ready protection your lifestyle demands in one of our premium headphone bags and cases. Headphone bags can prevent headbands and cables from getting damaged in transit, while clamshell cases will give you absolute security for throwing your cans in a backpack or gym bag at the end of the day.

Headphone Earpads

Are your well-worn headphones in need of some refreshment? Sweetwater carries replacement earpads and headbands from many leading headphone manufacturers. Looking to upgrade? Many customers report finding greater comfort and an improved listening experience in our aftermarket earpads from brands like Dekoni Audio.

Earbud Tips and Sleeves

Did you know your earbuds’ foam and silicone tips require regular maintenance, and sometimes replacement? It’s true. Over time, the foam can lose its pliability and cease to create a good seal in your ears. Additionally, the tip openings can get clogged with debris and cause you to lose fidelity. Fortunately, stocking up on replacement tips at Sweetwater is easy. Use the shop filters to narrow your search by brand and type. We also carry accessories like cleaning brushes to keep your existing tips in tip-top shape.

Hearing Aids

Sweetwater is proud to carry hearing aids by Soundwave. Soundwave hearing aids utilize AI processing and adaptable sound control to help the sources you choose — voices, music, and more — come across loud and clear. Soundwave’s otoTune app for Android and iPhone tests your hearing to supply a highly personalized listening experience, featuring built-in listening modes and EQ to let you tune your aids for your focal source.
