In recent years, the quality of wireless headphones has improved exponentially, almost as much as the fall in prices. State-of-the-art Bluetooth standards guarantee high-quality audio transmission and already offer more than enough autonomy for the normal user.
If you want to use the good weather to buy a good headset, follow these tips to make a better decision:
Make yourself as comfortable as possible
It seems obvious, but we guarantee that there is nothing more annoying than wearing an uncomfortable headset for hours. This is especially important for in-ear models, which we should try if possible. Sometimes the most spectacular or aesthetic designs are not the best.
The importance of freedom
Batteries have improved greatly and Bluetooth uses less and less, but it is very important that it lasts as long as you use it. Two or three hours may be enough to make a run, but if you plan to use it during work, it may be worth investing a little more.
The charging plug, better USB
These products are designed for outdoor use, so it is not a good idea to buy one that requires cumbersome adapters to charge them. If they have a USB port, you can simply charge them anywhere, and you can use the external portable battery that many users already carry in their backpacks.
With or without cable?
In addition to telephoning, the microphone is interesting for sending orders to your phone via virtual assistants such as Siri or Google. Our experience with the low-end headset microphone is disappointing, so it’s worth spending a little more money if you make regular calls. If you really know you don’t need it, you can save a few euros by buying a headset without audio input.
Attention to the mounting system
A common problem of many cheap headphones is their ergonomics. They can work well if we are quiet, but as soon as we move, they will fall down and become annoying. It is interesting to check whether they have an additional attachment system in addition to the cushion and come with a set of different sizes to fit the size of our ear.
Beware of imports and counterfeits
In Chinese shops, you will find quality products, but also fakes or imitations of the lowest quality that make cheap things expensive. On the other hand, it is interesting to have a guarantee in Spain and the possibility of returning them if they fail over time.
