Headphones are sound-producing transducers that receive audio signals and are often linked to computers (laptops, smartphones, etc.). To properly comprehend headphones, we must first comprehend audio signal flow in terms of inputs and outputs, as well as computer system input and output device definitions.

Is it possible to use headphones as input or output devices? When headphones are linked to a computer (laptop, smartphone, etc. ), the computer's output is received via the headphones. As a result, headphones are considered output devices. According to the computer, headphones with built-in microphones are input and output devices.
