Wireless Headphones Buying Guide;

You may forget about the specs and brand names, but always have these tips in mind
when buying a wireless headphone.

11. Ear-Tips.

It is one of the most critical components of a headset as it interacts with your ears
whenever the headsets are in use.

1. Silicone ear-tips that are too small or too shallow will not form an excellent seal with your
ear canal.
2. Most ear-tips of the headphones expand with the warmth of your ears and create an
excellent sonic seam.
3. Please make sure the ear-tips provided by your preferred headphone manufacture come
in a range of sizes, and they fit your ears.
4. Fit and comfort are essential to ensure the headsets neither irritate your ears nor drop
our as you are watching a favorite movie.
 12. Price.

Price is a critical component whenever purchasing any consumer goods.

1. There are many cheap wireless headphones in the market; however, you trade away the
headphones' quality whenever you choose cost.

1. Ensure that whenever you are getting any goods, make sure you are getting good value
for your money.
1. Most high-quality earphones use expensive technology. You can get that from big giants
like Qualcomm for the quality Bluetooth version with an audible range of 10m.
2. However, cheap wireless headsets use cheap components, which at time s are
knockoffs, hence low-quality sound and functionality.
3. However, avoid overpriced headsets meant to drain your wallet. Not all expensive
headsets are quality.

13. Noise-cancellation

As much as we may be blinded by nearly everything that glitters, it's essential

sometimes to mind about our health.

1. Perhaps you may want to care and save your ears some pain, then go for passive noise-
canceling headphones.
2. These headphones add extra bulk to the earpad and keep unwanted sound from
reaching into your eardrum.
3. If you want to buy headphones for subway commutes or maybe long flights, then noise-
cancellation can be a must for you.
4. Active noise-cancellation headphones can help to silence some lower-frequency sound
waves.
5. Consider going for this approach, which can take on any background noise and make
your flight comfortable.
 14. Battery life

No one likes dropping out of a good audiobook because of low battery or experience
Bluetooth hiccups as the charge can’t support along with the range.

1. While most manufacturers quote a playing time of betwixt three to five hours, always
slash off a fifth of that in real-life circumstances.
2. Choose exceptional manufacturers whose headsets last up to eleven hours.
3. Long-playing time for you gives you ambient time to finish whatever you were listening
to earlier.
4. Ideally, you should know the playing time before the next recharge for your wireless
headphones.
15. Volume.

Not all headphones are created equal when it comes to volume levels.

1. If you are a couple of models in an audio shop, you need to check the volume levels.
16. Charging case

The charging case that houses the wireless earbuds is very vital.

2. Always check the hinge of the charging case.

3. The case needs to be robust, in case you are taking the earbuds out.
4. Some earbuds sold on Amazon have very fragile charging cases that would reduce their
life expectancy.

17. Controls.

A more expensive headphone brand will come equipped with buttons or control pads on
the earpieces you tap to manage volume.

1. Often inexpensive headsets have no volume controls.

2. Examine the types of controls offered when choosing your next wireless headphones.
3. Choose a pair of headphones with responsive controls whenever you are out buying.
 4. Some top-notch headsets can pause music automatically when removed from the ears.

18. Codecs

Try to discover which codec your wireless headphones support.

1. For IOS users, make sure your headsets support AAC file format.
2. If you're an Android user, then the world is your oyster as android supports most
Bluetooth audio codec.
