In this video, we will talk about IEMs, Earphones and Headphones
0:03
What is the difference between these three and which one is the better choice for you
0:07
First, let's talk about the basic difference and design Let's start with IEMs
0:11
It's full form is in-ear monitors Primarily, these were designed for musicians and artists
0:17
so that they can hear themselves during stage performance But normal users can also use these
0:23
Mostly, some such IEMs have a design IEMs are a bit heavier than earphones
0:28
So, the cable goes above the ear like this so that IEMs and gears don't move
0:34
All IEMs are mostly wired because wired connection gives better sound quality
0:40
This is CCS-CRA, an example of IEMs Talking about earphones, they mostly have wired earphones, neckband and TWS
0:49
Generally, you get to see good features in TWS and neckband like ANC, Transparency mode
0:56
or you can connect multiple devices and switch between them so you can do all that
1:01
But it depends on the model Some earphones have such design and they easily fit in the ear
1:06
Realme Buds 2 or Realme Buds Wireless 2 are examples of earphones
1:11
Talking about headphones, they are big so that they have big drivers
1:17
Headphones have wide frequency range support So, you get to see immersive and surround sound experience
1:26
and you get to see ANC features Talking about design, you get closed back and open back
1:34
Closed back headphones are closed from outside so it helps in reducing the noise
1:39
but you get to see sweat issue when you wear them Open back design is open from outside
1:46
so, the benefit is that the airflow is good You can use the headphones for long hours
1:52
and you get natural sound Open back headphones are specially good for indoor
1:56
and you get to see quiet room Open back design reduces the sweat and heat issue
2:03
There are two types of headphones On the ear and over the ear
2:09
On the ear means it fits on the ear so it is a little uncomfortable to use
2:14
and the other type is over the ear It covers your ears
2:18
so it is more comfortable to use AKG K7II is closed back design
2:23
and it is over the ear Talking about customization and flexibility you get many options
2:30
Most of the IEMs have detachable cable So, if your old cable is damaged
2:35
and you install new cable then that IEM will be useful again
2:39
One more benefit is that if you purchase Bluetooth adapter then you can use these IEMs wirelessly
2:45
but if you use them wirelessly then you won't get the same sound quality
2:49
There are CIEMs which is custom IEMs These are specially designed for ear shape
2:56
These are designed for musicians and artists so that they can see better fit
3:02
Custom IEMs are little expensive compared to normal IEMs Talking about earphones
3:07
when you go to buy you can decide whether you want wire, neckband or TWS
3:12
You don't get many customization options but you get good features in earphones
3:16
in less price Gaming earphones are also available which has boom mic
3:22
Talking about headphones earcup is replaceable so it damages earcup so you can replace it
3:30
Most of the headphones have detachable cable if cable is damaged you can replace it
3:36
AKG K7II has attached cable and headphones have special headphones for gaming
3:41
which has boom mic If you want to do professional work like mixing or monitoring
3:48
then you can use studio headphones like AKG K7II which is also a studio headphones
3:54
Passive Noise Cancellation performs best in all three Talking about IEMs they cover your whole ear
4:02
Passive Noise Cancellation performs best in IEMs Earphones have ANC which consumes more battery
4:10
but it provides you with noise cancellation Passive Noise Cancellation performs best in IEMs
4:16
Talking about headphones they have more than earphones and less than IEMs
4:22
Talking about comfort IEMs are good for fitting if you put it on your ears
4:28
it will not fall Normally it is comfortable to use for long hours
4:34
but it is heavy for earphones and it will take time to put it on your ears
4:40
Talking about earphones they are good for fitting but sometimes it falls off
4:46
in some models Earphones are generally lightweight so you can use it for long hours
4:52
and it is easy to wear Talking about headphones they are heavy
4:58
in comparison to IEMs
