Stereo headset and what it can be used for

When you plug in a headset into a CD or a TV one could listen without being disturbed or disturbing others. With most of the sound recordings in music, movies, video games it is advisable that one invests in a stereo headset. A stereo headset should be used to listen to stereo sounds. This is because stereo recordings are made using two or more channels and the stereo headset brings two different sounds into each ear. The mono headset that does not have these features will be incapable of giving listening pleasure associated with the stereo headset. The stereo headset could use FM or Bluetooth technology.

Normally the stereo headset will have to be connected to a second device by means of a cable or wires to get the sound, but in using Bluetooth connectivity there is no need for wires.

A Bluetooth stereo headset allows one to connect to the CD or radio and still have mobility like listening to music whilst exercising or doing one’s chores. Another advantage of this type of headset is that there are no untidy wires snaking this way and that. Bluetooth is available in most devices and that will make the stereo headset to connect with ease. The frequency of operation of Bluetooth is different to that of other wifi techniques and as a result the quality would be good since there will be no disturbing sounds. With the Bluetooth stereo headset requiring low energy consumption there will be less strain placed on the battery of the devices giving it a longer battery life. The price is also reasonable.

With all the advantages of using a stereo headset there is also the downside of using any type of headset. If the headset is put onto full volume and used like this for extended periods of time it could lead to temporary or permanent deafness.

Using headsets where the earpads cover the ear completely and being isolated from outside sound, is dangerous because one may lose awareness of one’s surroundings. Examples would be listening to music with the headset on and not be aware of the sounding of horns while driving or walking leading to fatal consequences.

Although it is fun to use Bluetooth stereo headsets and listen to music while exercising, medically it is disapproved of because when exercising blood circulation maybe diverted to the limbs leaving the inner ear exposed to loud sounds that could cause damage.
