How to choose bluetooth headphones

In order not to make a mistake in choosing the right model with such a variety  bluetooth headphones on the market, the KP editors turned toArtem Antonov, Commercial Director of Avalonika.

Headphone sound quality is a highly subjective concept. This is affected not only by the source itself, but also by the state of the user’s hearing.

It is generally accepted that the sound quality of bluetooth headphones is somewhat lower than that of wired ones. Therefore, for bluetooth headphones, no less important than sound is the duration of operation and charging speed, since no matter how amazing they sound, an hour of playback and long charging is unlikely to suit anyone.

Popular questions and answers

What should I do if the bluetooth headphones keep losing connection with the device?
First of all, disconnect from the device, then reconnect. Next, check if the gap occurs in the same place geographically. There are cases of constant disconnection with different headphones at the same intersection.

Also, if possible, it is worth checking the quality of the connection with another source, whether there are breaks with it. Well, you should not forget about the limitation of the bluetooth range and the presence of obstacles between the transmitter and receiver.

Are bluetooth headphones harmful to health?
It’s some kind of electromagnetic radiation. But the harm from it is no more than from a person smoking 10 meters from you on a street with high traffic intensity and, as a result, abundant exhaust gases.
