What's the difference between open and closed headphones?

Over-the-ear headphones can be open or closed, and it's a matter of personal preference which you choose. A closed headphone plays sound that only you can hear. An open headphone has an opening that lets sound in and out, so anyone around you can hear what you're listening to. If you want privacy, you'll want a closed headset, but remember that you won't hear outside sounds so wear them only when it's safe to do so.

What headphones do I need for recording a podcast?

If you're going to use headphones for podcast recording, you'll want sound isolation headphones that will block out all external noise. Noise-canceling headphones aren't ideal for podcasting because they cause audio compression.

Should I use a wired or wireless headset for gaming?

Many gamers prefer a wired headset because the sound quality is better when connected to a gaming console. When playing interactively, sound quality is important.
