Abstract
Headphones in the last decade have been seen everywhere, with brands such as Beats and Skullcandy showing skyrocketing popularity and record high revenue sales. Headphones have made a billion dollar market and many consider them an essential accessory for your phone or tablet. I was intrigued by an object so commonly used, because I bet most headphone users don't even know how they work. I have decided to research the physics behind this device, how it's internal parts function, and how we can hear different frequencies and volumes from them. When you finish reading my findings, you will understand how circuits, magnetism, vibrations, and sound waves can all work together to produce your favorite song.
Wow thats so cool!
ReplyDeleteNice project! it was a very interesting topic to do seeing as headphones are a common possession. it was cool to understand how headphones work seeing as many people use them everyday.
ReplyDeleteGreat Presentation! I know understand much more about how headphones work and who knew how much physics was involved. Anyways thanks for passing on all of this brilliant information.
ReplyDeleteNice one Bailey! I use headphones all the time! It's cool too see how they work.
ReplyDeleteGood one Pfluger! I never used to understand how headphones work before. I always thought they were steam powered rather than electrical. Cool!
ReplyDeleteDid not realize just how important the vibrations played, and the different vibrations per headphones. Really enjoyed learning about how the harmonics play sucha vital role, and the importance behind the diahpram.
ReplyDeleteGreat presentation. Never understood how headphones work and now thanks to this presentation I can finally enjoy my music and understand how its generated in the headphone. Your concept art really helped me visualize the the process that goes on in the headphones. Good job.
ReplyDeleteGreat presentation! I use headphones all the time and now I feel like I have a better understanding of how they work in relation to wavelengths and vibrations! This is awesome !
