We use headphones for many things, such as schoolwork and listening to music. This invention lets us listen to audio anywhere without anyone else hearing that audio. Who invented the headphones? According to inventedfor.com, “The man behind the invention of the first modern headphones was the American engineer Nathaniel Baldwin. It was said he made the first pair – a headset that could amplify sound – by hand in his kitchen in 1910 . . . It turns out that the navy was interested in the invention and ordered 100 pairs. Baldwin became a rich man, but careless, since he never patented them” (“Headphones” par. 3-4). Do you like using headphones?
