Wow headphones, they seem like such a simple thing. You plug them into your phone or iPad and you listen to music or whatever you need to listen to. Would you believe me if I said there is SO much more to headphones? Let me tell you all about how headphones work!

Well headphones pretty much work the same as speakers but they are the opposite of speakers, but wait headphones have speakers in them. Hmmm that’s weird, let’s move on we need to continue looking at how headphones work! Headphones turn electrical energy into sound by using special magnets to vibrate the air, it’s weird. The digital data is stored in the phone and that is what the headphones use. Kind of simple but a lot of science.

When you plug your headphones into an electrical source a current is pushed into the voice coil that creates an electric magnetic field!

That is all you need to know about headphones for right now. How much did you learn?
