Quick Headphone Power Question

[dwmackay]

Greetings,

I have a great pair of Dennon full size headphones. I also have a nice pair of Bose ear buds.

I am about to take a 5 hour flight and want to watch a movie or 2 on my TP2. Will my full size Dennons drain the battery faster than the little ear buds if I have the volume set at the same level for each? That is, if I put the volume at 80%, will the big ones drain faster than the small ones at 80%?

Thanks for any advice.

I Think Its Gotta be The Big one That Would Take out More Power

dwmackay, you're right to assume that volume isn't the only factor in power consumption. Other factors to consider would be:

- noise cancellation turned on
- wider range of sound spectrum (that would be bose!)
- type of magnet used in the speaker

That said, earbuds will universally sound louder than on-ear or over-ear headphones if the volume remains the same, simply because they are closer to your ear. Don't know if this helps, but personally, I would go with the earbuds.

I recently watched a 3 hour movie and a 1 family guy episode while I was flying to St. Louis. That being said, towards the end of the family guy episode I got the 5% warning. I was using iphone headphone and the Mightyrom, the screen brightness was at 50%. The volume was all the way up.

If the over the ear headphones are powered by an external source i.e AAA battery then I assume you should be fine
