A Partial History of Headphones

A Partial History of Headphones

How did people listen to music in the past? There's a long story about how people used to listen to their favorite songs before YouTube, Apple Music, or Spotify, and today we will present you a summary of the headphone's journey.

The first pair of headphones came out in 1910, but they were only for professional usage (because of the price and availability), and it was not until the early 80s that people started using those big and glowing headphones in public places. The whole game changed when Apple launched its first iPod, which also came with a pair of white earbuds (Air Pods antecessor). A few months after this event, it became more common to see people carrying long tangled cords in their pockets or sacks (earbuds).

Over the years...

Worldwide, the headphones' industry grew very popular because of the significant quality, design, and performance improvements. Users saw many technological advancements in just a few years, but there was still a major issue: They were still dealing with tangled cords. This fact encouraged the wearable tech sector to create the very first truly wireless headphones in 2015.

After this, tangled cords were not a problem anymore, but there were still the problem of distorted audio or unexpected noises. And finally, thanks to the latest noise-canceling Bluetooth headphones technology, screaming babies and loud noises are no longer a problem.

Thanks to technology and tech giants, now we can choose a good pair of headphones according to our needs and budget, but the journey will not end here.

**Friendly Reminder: Please take care of your headphones and IT equipment!!
