#speaker comparison

When it comes to audio peripherals, the three basic choices are headphones (over-ear), earphones (in-ear), and speakers. Headphones Headphones are traditionally known as wearable audio devices with a pair of speaker drivers on either side, worn over the ears. Speakers Speakers are output devices designed to work specifically with computers or be hooked up to any sound system. The first type usually comes in pairs (left and right channel) which allows them to produce stereo sound, while surround system types may include four to seven speakers (with subwoofer), making much fuller and realistic sound. As you know, speakers aren’t the most portable device to carry around, plus, they can be quite expensive. Undoubtedly, headphones and speakers have superior sound quality to earphones. I've owned both budget and premium IEMs, on-ear/over-ear headphones, high-end TWS earbuds and bookshelf/room speakers. It reminds me of the distinct, handbag-like silhouette of a Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 5 speaker.
