What makes sound isolating earphones different from other earphones on the market? How does this technology work and is it safe to use?
Being a daily commuter on public transport, an MP3 player is at times a necessity. Listening to your tunes can distract from the journey and make it a more enjoyable experience. But there is always that familiar background noise of the doors opening and closing on the bus, the surrounding conversations and the drone of the traffic outside.

 Turning the volume up can damage your eardrum and also means that the other commuters can hear what you are listening to. The answer to this is the sound isolating technology used in the new Jivo earphones.
Sound isolation makes it possible to hear greater detail at a lower volume than is possible with earbuds or most headphones intended for portable use. This means that all background noise you get while commuting is blocked out and all you hear is your favourite music with amazing sound quality. So what’s the difference between sound isolating and noise cancelling earphones?
Sound isolating earphones naturally prevent noise from entering the ear. The sleeve surrounding the earphone allows it to fit comfortably into the ear and its acoustic properties prevents outside noise from entering the ear. Sound isolating earphones do not require circuitry or batteries.

Noise-cancelling headphones use electronic circuitry to remove noise after it has entered the headphone earcup. The microphones inside each earcup sample the noise field, and an electronic circuit creates an inverse image of the noise signal, adding it to the music. The actual noise and the inverse noise cancel each other out. It requires batteries in order to operate and is larger, heavier and more expensive than the sound isolating earphones.
The Jivo sound isolating earphones come with three sets of ear-fit tips to ensure extra comfort and a secure fit, the perfect solution for all those music loving commuters!
