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
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.
