Headphones are used by many of us. Someone connects them to the computer, so as not to interfere with the surrounding listening to music or watching a video. For some, headphones are a wonderful way to enjoy your favorite audio recordings on the street, in public places, in training, in transport and so on. Agree, a person who turns on the full volume of music on the phone and listens to it, for example, in a cafe or at work, looks rather strange. But a small device for listening to the sound completely solves this problem. In addition, with the help of headphones we can conduct a telephone conversation and at the same time do other things, because the hands are completely free. The advantages of the present invention can be said for a very long time. In this article, we will tell you why these gadgets have become so popular, and will look at the latest innovations in the world of these devices, such as headphones with cat ears.

First headphones

The prototype device for individual listening to music appeared several centuries ago. It was a stationary device for broadcasting church services and concerts. For a fee, such a mechanism was installed in the house and contained 4 headphones, but if you pay extra - you could buy additional "ears". In the places where the broadcasts were conducted, microphones were installed, and a lot of employees of the company providing the service worked for huge consoles and switched channels.

The creator of the first headphones Nathaniel Baldwin collected them in his kitchen. By providing the Air Force Company its own development, the inventor first received a refusal to cooperate. But soon the Air Force realized the importance of adaptation and provided Baldwin with a large order.

Already in the 1920s, the first portable device for listening to music appeared. At that time, this was no longer something phenomenal and every radio amateur considered it his duty to independently assemble such a device. At the end of the 30s, a prototype of modern headphones such as D-48 was released.

Of course, back in those days the headphones were not as popular as at the present time. They were used for the most part for military affairs (submariners, radio operators, partisans) or professional sound recording. Today we can observe such a gadget in almost any owner of the phone or player. Before there were headphones with ears or similar "jokes", which we will tell you just below, these devices have gone a long way of modifications and modifications to appear before us in the form in which we can observe them now.

The developers were so impressed with the popularity of kittens on the Internet that they decided to experiment with this design. And as we can see, they succeeded.

In addition, designers drew inspiration from yet another inexhaustible source - animated cartoons anime. In the Japanese animation culture there is such a thing as "no-limits". These are called humanoid creatures, which have elements of feline constitution (ears, paws, tail, and so on). In order to become like their favorite characters, thousands of anime fans around the world are buying overhead ears, cat costumes, gloves with claws, etc. This was the impetus for creating such a model of headphones.
