# Headphones
|
|
|
|
Headphones are a pair of drivers that converts electronic signals into [audio](/wiki/audio.md).
|
|
Headphones are available in different forms: for example headphones and in-ear monitors.
|
|
All types are addressed in this article.

|
## Audio Profiles and Reviews
|
|
|
|
Headphones have different frequency responses.
|
|
[AutoEq](https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/tree/master) can be used to normalize these to a
|
|
harman curve.
|
|
AutoEq also has a [website](https://autoeq.app/) on which headsets can be searched and equalizer
|
|
presets can be exported more easily.
|
|
|
|
An extensive list of in-ear monitor reviews was made by crinacle.

## Modifications
|
|
|
|
Headphones can be modified.
|
|
The most done modifications include detachable cables or a
|
|
[balanced](/wiki/audio.md#balanced-unbalanced-audio) conversion.
|
|
For every modification that changes the wires on the driver it is important to check the polarity,
|
|
aswell as the left and right side to avoid having to resolder any connection.
|
|
|
|
The following is a list of resources that can be used to mod headphones.
