These initial headphones of 1880’s had a single piece that was to be set over the shoulder. It had a weight of 10 pounds. While the design of headphones introduced by Baldwin is much similar to what we see now a days. Nathaniel got success for his invention, he got an order to make headphones for the U.S Navy. It was the first headphone to have pieces for both ears. With time headphones have gone through tremendous development. And these later developments of headphones were made by Beyer dynamic, and AKG, with the production of DT-48 dynamic headphones in 1937 and K120 in 1949 respectively.

Both achievements were enough to surprise the people of the time, pushing one’s thinking beyond the limits. After that in 1958 came the stereo headphones marking again a distinction from the former. This invention was made by a jazz musician and audiophile John C. Koss. In 1959 came the electrostatic headphones, the SR-1’s, showed in Tokyo. And in 1968, Koss again gave a move to his talents and produced ESP-6, the first electrostatic headphone made by U.S. These latest headphones were way more lighter than the traditional ones, e.g. 10 pounds.

They weighed around 2 pounds. However, the invention of Walkman brought the most favorable change in the market of headphones as well as in its variety. Sony Walkman headphones were the smallest of all the headphones ever produced before. And they stood as an inspiration for all the headphones that would be produced later. In the ground of technology headphones have hit the shelves. They are paired with almost everything. For example, Computers, Laptops, Mobile Phones, Tablets, MP3’s, MP4’s, LCD’s and many more devices carry with them a need or an expectation for the connection of headphones with them.

Now a days we see a range of headphones: Closed-back headphones, open-back headphones, on-ear headphones, over-ear headphones, in-ear headphones and earbuds etc. all are just different forms of the headphones.

We were still in the 80’s and 90’s when we witnessed some modifications and innovations in the already much advanced headphones e.g. earbuds, neckband headphones and noise canceling headphones. It was Dr. Amar Bose who invented noise canceling headphones, intentionally created for the pilots to escape deafening noise and distractions in the cockpits. The last but not at all least, in fact the most craziest and bold step was taken by Dr. Dre and his business partner Jimmy Iovine in this ground. They, using the name of their brand ‘Beats by Dre’, introduced Beats headphones. Like all other products of this brand these headphones were also over-priced. The price of these products was not based on the quality of these products but more on the name of this brand. “Lil’ Wayne even purchased a $1 million dollar pair of diamond studded Beats headphones. “But this also doesn’t mean that these headphones are nothing.
