Top 6 Tips You Can't Miss While Buying A Wireless Headphone
Headphones are a must have whether you are commuting to your office or on a solitary trip or wish to indulge in great music as you retire at night. If cables and wires are too entangling for you, the modern wireless headphones are a bliss. Backed by Bluetooth transmission and batteries, these new-age headphones are easily portable and great to carry when you are on the move. The wireless headphones are also handy for apartments defined by thin walls which do not allow loud audio from the bookshelf speakers. The contemporary tech market today is flooded by a versatile range of wireless headphones but then there are six important tips that you must keep in mind while looking for your wireless headphone.
Purpose of your headphone
This is the same advice that I gave my ardent video gamer nephew yesterday. Some of the wireless headphones are excellent for music while some are great for video gaming audio. So, you must decide the purpose of your wireless headphone before you set out to buy one.
Get comparative study
Nothing can beat a great comparative study when it comes to informed shopping and the same goes with your wireless headphone. Before you proceed to buy one, you must make a list of 5-6 potential wireless headphone brands and models and get a comparative review on them. I always prefer to opt for the new models but not the recently launched ones as the latter do not usually carry much reviews. You have to check what the experts and previous users have to say about your chosen model. Zero in on 2-3 options based on the reviews and ratings received.
Buy locally or online?
If you ask me, I would usually prefer to buy a wireless headphone from a local land-based store. It's because there are so many things to test before you invest in it and the physical stores assure the convenience of an easy testing immediately.
But then, no one can deny the ease of online shopping and the web stores too house a fantastic range of wireless headphones. You simply need to be careful about the reputation of the store and make sure the portal offers an easy return policy. This way, you won't need to burden yourself with the headphone if you don't find it compatible after initial use.
Test the headphone
Your headphone is going to be your buddy for many more years to come and hence you must make sure to check the compatibility quotient with it before the investment. You have to check the fitness, sound quality and construction of the headphone. The best ones generally come up with a convenient adjustable fit.
Better sound
The wireless Bluetooth-run headphones are usually blamed for weaker audio compared to the wired options. But then, the recent advancements in technology have helped to better the sound here as well. When it comes to more improved sound for wireless headphones, opt for the aptX® technology. Available in Android devices, this high end technology promises premium wirefree streaming codec that assures enhanced audio experience.
Closed or open construction
The closed wireless headphones stay stuck tightly to your ears and offer an amazing distraction-free audio experience. But, then closed construction bars easy air circulation and you will end up all sweaty if you have the headphone tucked to the ears for long. Thus, it's better to go for open design headphones where just one of the ears will be covered for a breezy feel throughout. The bottom-line is that if you are going to use the headphone for longer hours at a stretch, opt for open design but otherwise the close design is always a greater fit.
In conclusion
Do not buy a wireless headphone without a solid warranty. The best ones generally offer a great warranty assurance for 1-2 years.
