Headphones are used to listen to audio privately. They were invented in the 1890s and have since evolved to include wireless Bluetooth and AirPod technologies. Headphones are used for a variety of purposes including listening to music on mobile devices, DJ mixing, military communications, and voice chats. They work by using small drivers that convert electrical signals to sound vibrations via a diaphragm and voice coil. While headphones provide privacy and mobility, overuse can cause ear pain, infections, or brain effects.
