And then let’s get a closer look at how does headphones work?

Headphones are the minimized loudspeakers that are fitted into your ears.
Headphones work in similar a fashion of loud speaker working, but the primary divergence is the size of the headphone and the loudspeaker. The loudspeaker has to set all the air in the room to move to make you hear something produced by a loudspeaker. But when it comes to the case of headphones, the speaker only has to move the volume of air in between the speaker and the ear canal. This is the reason why it's so small and discrete.

When you come to the large headphones, there are two loudspeakers mounted on a strap that holds your head. Earbuds also works in the similar manner, the magnet, a helix of wire and the diaphragm cone that produces sound is compressed to a very small in size.

Speaker built in enclosures to amplify your sounds and manage safe from harm. And you can view the enclosures having holes to run the air freely in and out to get quality sound out of them. This also applies for earbuds and headphones. Primarily there are two types of headphones

1. Closed-back headphones

2. Open-Back Headphones

Closed-back headphones are sealed back of the speaker so no sound escapes the headphones or leaks from the outside world into the headphones. When it comes to open-back headphones they are open to the air in front and back as well.

How do earbuds works?

working-of-earbudsTo understand the working of an Earbud first of all you need is to dismantle the Earbud and  

After dismantling you can examine the wires going through the main sheath to the whorl, and then there needs to be two wires to form a complete lap one for conducting the current from the stereo into the helix and the other one to channel it backward once more.

The plastic case has holes that let you sound to enter your ear. And behind the plastic you can find a cone shaped and it is flattish and transparent disc made out of very thin and flexible plastic and you can feel the tiny metal coil attached to it.

These all parts combined makes your earbuds

Wires are responsible for carrying the currents in the coil that is from the stereo to the speaker and back again. The permanent magnet at the rear of the speaker plays a vital role in and is the densest part of Earbud and the coil it acts as an electromagnet when electricity runs through it. And in the end the plastic cone, which produces sound when struck.
