Sports Headphones are lightweight headphones or earphones ideal for any user who will be moving around while listening. They are ideal for the active user because they provide a snug fit while allowing maximum mobility. They generally come in behind-the-head, in-ear, and clip-on styles. It’s important to choose the style based on the type of sound the listener needs. Someone who will be outside and needs to be aware of their surroundings for safety should go with a behind-the-head or clip-on style with either on-ear headphones or earbuds.
Headsets are headphones with a microphone attached. The headsets attach to a telephone or computer to allow for hand-free conversations. Headsets come with either a single earpiece (beneficial for people who still need to be aware of outside noises) or a double earpiece (which blocks out more sound than the single earpiece and allow the listener more ability to focus). Depending on what you are using the headset for, it can come in both on-the-ear and over-the-ear styles.
