Design
Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.
Comfortable full-size form with earcups that fully enclose your ears. This model is loved for its increased sound isolation and the fact that it won't leak sound to your neighbors. It offers potential for maximum bass and loudness levels.
With a detachable cable you can use alternative cables, and if the cable is pulled it will pop out instead of breaking.
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
A long cable ensures more freedom of movement.
The device is dustproof and water-resistant. Water-resistant devices can resist the penetration of water, such as powerful water jets, but not being submerged into water.
The cable is designed to minimize tangling.
The device is designed in a way that allows sound to go out through the back of the ear cups, which usually have vents or perforations. This design provides very natural and accurate sound.
Resistance to sweat makes it ideal for use while doing sports.
Sound quality
The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
Microphone
These microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound. Especially useful in noisy environments.
The highest frequency that the mic can pick up. Better for recording treble.
It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the microphone can pick up.
The lowest frequency that the mic can pick up. Better for recording bass.
The microphone can be attached or detached if necessary.
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
A wind noise reduction microphone is designed to reduce wind interference, providing sharper audio in windy situations.
Connectivity
A standard 3.5mm male connector is suitable for use with all MP3 players and computer sound cards.
Wireless devices allow users more freedom of movement.
The headset can be used for playing games on PlayStation video game consoles.
You can use your headset for in-game voice chat, private chat, audio for video chat, and in-game voice recognition using Xbox services.
Features
The device has an option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device.
A headset is one headphone or pair with a built-in microphone. Headsets can be used for apps that require communication i.e. Skype, games with voice chat, mobile phones, etc.
When covered under the manufacturer’s warranty it is possible to get a replacement in the case of a malfunction.
The audio signal is coded and encrypted digitally, allowing for highly secure conversations.
There is a control panel on the cable, so you can easily operate the device without having to interact with it.
The device offers realistic experiences with deep bass sound for gamers.
An accelerometer is a sensor used to measure the linear acceleration of a device. A common application is detecting when a device changes between vertical and horizontal positions.
With voice prompts, you will automatically receive information via audio messages – for instance, you may find out that the battery is running low, and it's time to recharge the device.
You can use your voice to control key functions of the device and you can easily access your device without pushing any button.
