Frequency is one of the most important parameters when choosing headphones. Generally, the higher frequency range of headphones, the better sound quality. The lower limit of the frequency range deals with bass reproduction. Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz).

Sensitivity is measured in decibels per milliwatt, or dB/mW, and describes the sound pressure level. Generally, the higher the sensitivity, the better the headphones are for sound reproduction. A higher value also indicates higher volume.

Driver diameter indicates the size of the diaphragm and influences to a great extent headphone sound quality. The-larger-the-better rule applies here. 

An electrical parameter expressing resistance circuits in headphones in ohms. Headphones with lower impedance have a higher volume (important for portable media players), but greater distortion. Larger impedance equals lower volumes and lower distortion.  

In terms of frequency range microphones are produced with different properties due to both their purpose and physical properties of individual designs. This value determines the lowest value in Hertz.

Microphone directionality describes the microphone's sensitivity to sound from various directions.

Shorter cables are ideal for portable earphones as they are harder to tangle. Headphones for home use (eg. TV headphones), on the other hand, can provide more comfort with longer cables.

3.5mm jack connector (in case of PC headphones, a pair of 3.5mm jack connectors or USB connector) is definitely the most widespread connector type. Wireless headsets, using Bluetooth or radio channels for connection, are also increasing in popularity.  

There are single-side and double-side headphone cables – single-side headphones have the advantage of a single cable connected to a headset, effectively preventing the wire from getting tangled.

Clearly defines the headphone design. Earbuds and canalbuds are suitable for sport or travel, while full-size headphones are suitable for comfortable home listening or as a PC accessory.
