What are the 5 main characteristics that you should pay attention to?
Sound & Microphone Quality
Although there are many factors that determine the quality of sound and how you sound to your interlocutors, one thing you can consider is the number of speakers and microphones in each headset. The more there are, the fuller the sound and the better you will be heard!
Headphones with wireless hands-free not only help with your calls but also play a role in the greater effectiveness of Active Noise Cancellation, as they can detect and isolate external noises with greater accuracy.
Compatibility
Before you buy, make sure that the headset is compatible with your device. You can do this by checking the Bluetooth version that both support.
Do you have an iPhone? Check reviews and features, and make sure you will have a smooth experience, unless you choose Airpods / Airpods 2, as Apple devices offer the best compatibility with corresponding products from the same manufacturer.
Comfort
The overall experience is influenced by how comfortably they fit in your ear. If the headphones annoy you, you will likely not want to use them after a while.
Wireless hands-free are divided into earbuds, which are the classic headphone design, and in-ear, which have special tips that go inside the ear. The former rest in the ear's indentation while the latter penetrate deeper, offering better stability.
However, beyond the type, the placement of the headset also plays an important role, as you will see there are 4 different types.
Neck-band They hug around the back of the neck, offering freedom of movement. Ideal for exercising and cycling.
Peto A headset that clips onto the lapel.
Ear-hook "Hugs" the entire ear. Not suitable for use with prescription/sunglasses.
Earfin Headsets that secure inside the ear with a fin.
Battery
How long will you be using them continuously?
Check the autonomy of the headphones, as well as the charging case, to ensure that you will have headphones when you need them.
Durability
Consider what your primary use will be and look for headphones with the corresponding features. For example, if you will be using them for your workouts, you should choose sweat-resistant headphones, as prolonged exposure may corrode them. If you need them for work that involves heavy tasks, they should be resistant to water, dust, and possibly drops!
Extra Features
Once you have determined the above, take a look at additional features that may enhance your experience. Touch buttons on the headset, multiple-pairing for connecting multiple devices, and even fast charging.
