7 Things to Know Before Buying True Wireless Earbuds

In This Article:

Music has the power to evoke strong emotions and recollections in listeners. Happy, serene, or invigorated feelings are all possible outcomes. But the experience might be ruined even before it starts if you have a set of tangled earbuds. Most of us may prefer wired earphones, but it doesn't change the fact that they need special attention while traveling.

The concept of entirely wireless earbuds has been around for some time now. Because of their decreasing cost, lightweight, and ease of use, they are becoming more popular as smartphone add-ons. Some of the available wireless earbuds are awful, despite the majority being excellent.

Before buying a set of truly wireless earphones, here are seven things to remember.

1. Importance of pricing

It's not uncommon to find low-cost wireless headphones that appear to be wireless. Some types include cables that link the earpieces, while others have controls on the wires that may be used to adjust the volume. The audio quality will likely be poor if you get a simple type of wireless headphones with no cables.

Low-cost Bluetooth earbuds employ chips of inferior quality, resulting in significant delays in audio transmission. These delays are more evident when viewing films or playing games on your smartphone.

2. The quality of the audio relies on the codecs that are employed.

Using a codec, Bluetooth audio may be delivered from the source to your wireless headphones efficiently and effectively. Digital audio signals are encoded and decoded using this device for wireless transmission. Cheap wireless earphones can only use the SBC codec to encode many frequencies at the same time.

The delay in audio transmission is caused by this procedure, which takes a long time to convey data. High-resolution music sounds flat on these headphones since they don't support high-bitrate audio. It is self-evident while playing games or watching films when characters' voices lag behind the action.

3. Look for a charger with long-lasting batteries

However, manufacturers strive to advertise exaggerated playing durations for true wireless earphones. A device's stated battery life of 10-12 hours should be taken with a grain of salt. Some simple wireless earbuds may have a short battery life, significantly diminishing their usefulness.

While cord-free earbuds are convenient, they also raise the risk of misplacing them. A decent case for your wireless earphones helps keep them safe and charged. Battery-powered wireless earbud covers are available from several high-end manufacturers.

4. Reducing background noise

Noise-canceling earphones used to be reserved for the most expensive models, but now they can be found at a lower price. A pair of wireless earphones equipped with noise cancellation will allow you to have clear phone calls and listen to music without interruption.

5. Attempt to find the ideal match

True wireless earbuds prioritize user convenience, whether it's for streaming music or making video chats. Look for earphones with interchangeable tips when shopping for earbuds. For example, ear-tip sizes should be included with the earbuds as a standard. To assist you in determining the proper fit for your ear canal, you may use this information.

6. Is-it water resistant?

Taking your wire-free earphones with you everywhere you go is a nice perk of living a cord-free life. True wireless earbuds may be worn anytime, whether commuting, resting at home, or exercising.

Because of this, items without water resistance will be affected by dust and abrupt splashes. In the long run, sweating when exercising might ruin things with a low IP rating.

7. Designing with Ergonomics in Mind

Instead of fumbling with flimsy earbuds that fall out of your ears, search for those with a snug, lightweight fit. Audio accessories with better ergonomics are more likely to stay in your ears at all times, making them easier to use.

Listening enjoyment may be affected by various factors, including the size of the ear-tips used. Consider using fin-tips to improve your grip and comfort. Silicone is the preferred material for ear-tips because of its softness and flexibility.

Conclusion

With the proper set of truly wireless earbuds, you'll be able to enjoy audio in a way you've never heard before. To guarantee that you receive the earphones you deserve, consider these suggestions before making a purchase.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
