Headphones without microphone

No microphone

— headphones that do not have a microphone.

For more information about the microphone and its capabilities, see the relevant paragraph. Here we note that these features are far from always required — after all, many people buy headphones exclusively to listen to sound from a player, computer, etc. At the same time, the presence of a microphone affects the cost of the “ears” and can complicate their connection; and in high-end models, the microphone is also undesirable as a potential source of interference. Thus, it is often the classic headphones that are listed in this paragraph that are often the best choice.
