How do you choose the best wireless headphones?
Choose wireless headphones
There are many different wireless headphones. To choose the right one, ask yourself the following:
- Do you want to have as few connection problems as possible?
- Do you listen to music for longer times at once?
- Do you want a higher sound quality?
- Do you want to connect quickly?
- Do you want to quickly switch between devices?
Don't you want connection issues?
The higher the Bluetooth version, the faster, more energy-efficient, and stable the connection. Right now, Bluetooth 5.3 is the highest base version. If you want less problems with the connection, it's important to look for a high Bluetooth version. When you want to experience the benefits of a higher Bluetooth version, the device has to have the same or a higher Bluetooth version.
Do you listen to music a lot?
A higher Bluetooth version also makes sure you can listen to music for longer. Headphones with Bluetooth 5.3 will use the battery more efficiently than headphones with Bluetooth 4.0. In addition, it's important to check the battery life of wireless headphones. Do you have a long trip ahead, or don't you want to have to charge the headphones often? We recommend a battery life of at least 30 hours.
Do you want a higher sound quality?
It's not really important which profiles Bluetooth headphones have. The Bluetooth aptX profiles is important. This profile makes sure the signal between the headphones and the playback device is high-quality, so you'll hear every detail in the music.
Do you want to connect to your smartphone faster?
It can take some time before your headphones connect to your smartphone. Do you want the 2 devices to make a connection extra quickly? Look for a version with NFC. Via NFC, you can quickly make a connection by holding the NFC point of your headphones to the NFC point of your smartphone.
Do you want to quickly switch between 2 devices?
If you want to connect wireless headphones to multiple devices, it's useful to have the multipoint pairing function. This function allows you to connect to 2 or more playback devices at the same time. This way, you can quickly switch from the music on your laptop to an incoming call on your phone.
Don't you want to hear ambient noise?
Are you on the go and don't you want to hear ambient noise? Choose headphones with noise canceling. Headphones with noise canceling reduce the ambient noise a lot, so you won't hear a sound from passengers in the train. You can also focus on your work better, thanks to noise canceling.
