Smartphones have become or are becoming an essential part of daily life. But as brands continue to lower price or minimise costs, headphones are slowly but surely disappearing from retail boxes. Thus, the popularity of Bluetooth headphones has begun to rise. These headphones are fast becoming the most popular wireless audio product in the market. If you are looking to buy Bluetooth headphones that will perfectly complement the audio quality support by your phone, there are few things to consider.

The sound quality of Bluetooth headphones depends on various factors, including the type, features, and price. The first thing to factor in when buying a set of Bluetooth earphones is figuring out which type of headphones best suit your need. There are three types of wireless earphones:

Types

Over the Ear Headphones

Wireless over-ear models simply lose the cord connecting them to your device. Apart from that, they look like regular wired headphones. These headphones are not entirely free from wires, with a cable hidden away in the headband to connect both right and left earcups.

True Wireless Earbuds

True-wireless buds offer ‘true’ freedom in a way that over-the-head wireless headphones cannot, making them ideal for use during workouts. These earbuds aren’t connected to each other with a wire. Additionally, they come with a charging case that further extend their battery life. 

In-Ear Bluetooth Earphones

These Bluetooth headphones connect to your devices via Bluetooth but have a wire connecting both left and right buds. Bluetooth earphones usually have a neckband that keeps them in place during jogs. The wire also connects each bud, so they cannot operate individually.

Price

Once you’ve decided the right Bluetooth headphones for your requirement, then you need to determine the price you are willing to pay for them. You can buy Bluetooth earphones for as little as Rs 1,000, while more premium models start from Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000. However, there are several good mid-tier headphones that deliver a nice balance of features and audio quality, while maintaining a reasonable price. These Bluetooth headphones are usually priced between Rs 4,000 and Rs 8,000. However, because of increased competition, affordable wireless headphones are getting a lot better, both in terms of features offered and sound quality.  

Features

Determining sound quality can be difficult with Bluetooth headphones as you cannot just try them on before you buy it, so the best way to shop if you aren’t an audiophile is by brand.

•          Sony and Sennheiser tend to make better studio recording equipment, custom-tuned to detect smaller details in music, although the former also makes pretty good premium headphones that may not necessarily be targeted towards professional.
•          Beats headphones are renowned for their heavy bass and are preferred by hip-hop listeners.
•          JBL and Bose headphones tend to prioritize overall sound clarity.
•          Apple is another leading audio brand in the space, and their spatial audio is one of the best features you’ll see on a set of premium wireless earphones. 

Some of the main features you need to look out for in a set of good wireless Bluetooth earphones, include battery life, range, use case, weight, and for the more premium brands noise cancellation.

Battery Life

Battery life is an essential factor to consider when picking a pair of wireless headphones as the main downfall of cutting the cord is limited battery life. For true wireless Bluetooth earphones, the ideal battery life you are looking for is three to five hours on a single charge, extended to a further three charges using the case. For over the ear headphones, you can get a whole 24 hours of battery life or more, depending on the model. Lastly, a good pair of in-ear Bluetooth earbuds will offer at least 10 hours or more of playback.

Range

Apart from battery life, you also want your Bluetooth headset to have a good range. You want to buy wireless earphones that offer a considerable range will allow you to listen to music wirelessly at a comfortable distance from a connected device. This is the reason you need a pair of headphones that can deliver high quality, interrupted audio from a distance.

Use Case

One more important factor in determining which pair of wireless headphones you want to buy is ‘use case’. If you want headphones primarily for workouts, then TWS earbuds or in-ear Bluetooth earbuds might be the best option as they allow for free movement, which is essential while working out. Over the ear, Bluetooth headphones are the best option for audiophiles as they offer better audio quality at the premium range. Additionally, professionals always use over-the-ear headphones when taking on professional.  

Noise Cancellation

All three types of wireless headphones offer two types of noise cancellation – Active noise cancellation (ANC) or passive noise cancellation. Active noise cancellation works by using microphones within the headphones to analyze ambient noise and produce the opposing sound waves to cancel the sound altogether. Passive noise cancellation, on the other hand, only relies on physical devices to cancel out the audio and not internal components. Passive noise cancellation often uses the rubber tips in an in-ear design or padding in an over-the-ear design to cancel out ambient noise, although it is far less effective than active noise cancellation.

Weight

While it may not seem as important, weight plays a significant role in overall comfort while using wireless headphones. In the case of true wireless or in-ear Bluetooth earphones, weight is not a major issue as these Bluetooth headphones often don’t weigh a lot. While over-the-ear headphones are easy that their in-ear counterparts, their headbands are often made of plastic, which makes them light and comfortable for the most part.

Voice Assistance

Voice assistants like Google Assistant, Amazon’s Alexa, and Apple’s Siri are becoming increasingly popular on Bluetooth earphones. Voice prompts and voice command shave trickled down to all but the most basic Bluetooth headphone models. Voice assistance allows you to use several voice commands to control features like answering or rejecting calls, initiating pairing, getting battery status, and more.

Bluetooth Gaming Headsets

Whether it is a pair of over-the-head or in-ear Bluetooth earphones, you should consider all the factor before you make a decision. However, there is another category of wireless headphones that are primarily designed for gaming. Bluetooth gaming headsets are primarily designed for gamers and offer several benefits while gaming. They offer more comfort over prolonged periods, easilu accessible audio controls, an effortless means of communication, high-quality audio, directional sound, and they look pretty awesome for the most part.
