AFAIK this is never a singular... - Tarquin 11:13 Mar 5, 2003 (UTC)
Actually, yes it can be. DJs often use a single headphone, because the other is often hanging off the other side anyhow. This is how beatmatching is accomplished, by listening to the cue in only one ear and the current program in the other. (Often, they also have a microphone hanging off as well.) –radiojon 15:26, 2004 Apr 16 (UTC)
- Yeah. Look at google--almost 3 million hits for the singular (admittedly there are 6 million for the plural). Also 'what links here'--many are looking for the singular. While plural may be 'most common use', I think singular is common enuf to move this back, based on the WP standard to prefer singular titled articles. Niteowlneils 01:00, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Any motion to talk about backphones? --Joshk 08:38, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Circumaura and supra-aural
Is is me, or are supra-aural and circum-aural swapped?
- No its not, Supra-aural -> (above the ear)
- Circum-aural -> (around the ear) which is what is written on the article
- It's been changed. I made that comment before it was changed. Reub2000 10:15, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
why is the impedance of headphones significantly larger than speakers? - Omegatron 21:54, Feb 27, 2005 (UTC)
- headphones have a higher impedance mainly in order to limit current draw from a source.. this is because headphones move less air around (therefore require less current) and if same amount of current was used, it'd probably break the coils..
