Design
Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.
With a detachable cable you can use alternative cables, and if the cable is pulled it will pop out instead of breaking.
Foldable devices are easier to transport and take up less storage space.
The device comes with its own special case or pouch, which is useful for safe transportation.
The cable is designed to minimize tangling.
This device comfortably rests on top of your outer ears. As it doesn't block out everything from the outside world, it's preferred in places like office environments and recommended for outdoor activities.
Sound quality
The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.
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.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
Connectivity
A standard 3.5mm male connector is suitable for use with all MP3 players and computer sound cards.
Features
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.
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
There is a control panel on the cable, so you can easily operate the device without having to interact with it.
