How a headphone works.
As a audiophile, i have been really interested in how my headphone works. Until recently, i found a video briefly but clearly explained the mechanism behind a headphone. Basically, there are three most important parts. The first one is called diaphragm, which is more commonly known as a column. It is made to pull the air back and forth to create sound. The second and third part are a simple magnet plus a voice coil. When the electricity goes through cable to our magnet, the magnet a electromagnetic field. This field pull the voice coil back and forth, which is attached to the diaphragm, therefore creating sound.

Hey! I really like the video that you found. With talking about this in class, it can be very confusing but this video gave a better understanding for me. I really enjoyed it. A headphone is so small and intricate and I think we all don’t take into consideration how much effort it takes to produce a small headphone. Now, if only I can find a way to fix my headphones myself without breaking it even more!
