Wireless Headphones definitely top the list when we talk about everyday gadgets that make our life easier. We run with them, we take them to bed, we wear them while travelling or reading, and sometimes sleep with them on! Point being, they are an essential part of our everyday activities and add immense quality to our experiences.
Hence, having a good pair of wireless headphones becomes very important to ensure the smooth functioning of our activities! But how do you decide which ones to buy?
Purchasing them online seems like a legit solution! We are sure you must have tried buying them online or know anyone who bought it online, only to be disappointed as the ones they got didn’t suit their lifestyle or requirement.
Now how do you decide which one to pick? Some of us depend upon our friends for advice, which may or may not prove to be completely helpful! That’s why we have curated a list of parameters that you should definitely consider before making a purchase:
1. Type & Usage
Before hopping to specifications, this is the basic thing that you should decide upon. Knowing where or how you are going to use your Wireless headphones helps you decide on the type of headphones you should buy. They usually come in 3 variants:
- Over the ear headphones: The biggest of the 3 types, these headphones surround or cup ears and stay on via light pressure on the temple and upper jaw. They are ideal for people who want to surround themselves with blissful music, without interacting with outside noises.
- On-ear headphones: They are generally lighter than the above and stay on your head via pressure directly on your ears like ear muffs. They are ideal for your at-office or at-home listening experience as they do not completely block your ears and allows some external sound in.
- In-ear headphones: Generally called earbuds or earphones, these are the smallest of all and fit in your ear canal. As these are highly portable, they are easy to carry around. These are ideal for high power activities like weight-lifting or running due to their secure fit!
2. Battery Life
In a world where we are always running out of time, you need your most reliable headset to be able to support you for the longest period of time possible!
However, most wireless Bluetooth headphones come with decent battery life, it is definitely subjective & depends on your usage. But it definitely is important to look for wireless headsets that ensure a minimum playback time of 4 to 5 hours.
And since you don’t want to wait for forever to charge them up, it will be extremely great that you pick the ones that get fueled up within a shorter period of time to pump out extremely great music.
3. Sound Quality:
There is no denying the fact that you definitely are going to use your Bluetooth headphones to listen to music!
That’s why they should deliver superior quality audio with incredible bass, an excellent mid-range & clear treble that doesn’t sound too sharp or piercing! Therefore, check for the audio codec that has been used to power up the headsets.
Additionally, have a look at drivers that are being used in the headphones as it’s them that converts the electrical signal into an audio signal. However, the accuracy of sound quality can be subjective and be a matter of personal taste, always. But with the right headphones, everyone should feel the ultimacy of music without any compromises!
4. Durability
It is natural to feel disappointed if your newly bought wireless Bluetooth headphones wear out within a week or so!
Therefore, it’s important to read up on materials that are being used and certifications like IPX rating for water & dust resistance as you would be well aware of your requirements in terms of usage and wouldn't want your music to stop while you are sweating it out at the gym or during a power run!
Another important aspect that you should definitely consider is the built material & the warranty structure of your purchase. Always try to pick those headphones that have a strong built-up structure and a warranty that lasts long!
5. Noise Cancellation:
If you are someone who wants to enjoy a fully immersive sound experience then look for a wireless headset that is also capable of cutting the outside noise!
Active Noise Cancellation technology ensures that you only hear what you want to hear and very smartly cancels out the outside noise. This is a must-have feature for people to enjoy an uninterrupted music experience!
6. Your own style:
Having said it all, it’s very much important to find the wireless headset that suits your style! Find the ones that are in sync with the trends & are stylish! As on one hand, these are designed to deliver a blissful music experience, on the other, these should always compliment your urban lifestyle and make you stand out from the crowd!
