🔌 How Does a Headphones Work?
Each side of a pair of headphones has a small speaker. Electric signals carrying the music flow into a coil of wire next to a magnet, which makes the coil and a thin cone called a diaphragm wiggle back and forth very fast. Those wiggles push the air and make sound waves that travel into your ear.
