WLAN, NFC, LTE … these are just a few of the radio standards that have been available for some time now and can be used equally well with various terminal and home devices. Meanwhile, wireless achievements in the audio sector are also attracting more and more attention: Bluetooth, for example, is taking audio enjoyment to a new level when the home sound station is linked to other elements such as radio towers, loudspeakers and subwoofers. In this way, a true 3D sound can be created with just a few simple steps or button presses. But that’s not all: “blue tooth technology” has also recently found its way into headphones. The following lines reveal what makes the use of so-called Bluetooth headphones attractive and what to look out for when using and purchasing them.
One technique, many possibilities
Bluetooth is a radio standard that was already developed a good quarter of a century ago. Initially, the technology, which incidentally owes its name to the Danish King Harald Blauzahn, was intended to be used solely in industry for the purpose of data synchronisation and synchronisation work, but a good 15 years after the first Bluetooth generation, the coupling system made the leap into general technology. Nowadays, this is used in the most diverse contexts, whereby the benefit as an acoustic element is particularly convincing: The possibility of being able to connect a box, a loudspeaker or even a headset including Bluetooth chip to a playback platform such as the home PC, other audio products or the ubiquitous smartphone within a few seconds without password entry, without contact confirmation and without device management, makes such a device an extremely sought-after piece of technical equipment. Bluetooth headphones, for example, can be used both in the home and out of the house, for example as a motivational aid during a morning jog.
Keep your eyes and ears open when you buy
Headphones are not all the same – this wisdom applies not only to classic models with cable binding, but also and especially to wireless headphones. A good Bluetooth headphone review therefore always has to consider several aspects, among which the sound, divided into bass profiling, treble and noise separation, is only one of many. Wearing comfort, for example, also has to be taken into account: Is the temple not too tight and also not too loose? Can individual parts be adjusted to the head dimensions? And how well – if at all – is the padding processed? In terms of workmanship, of course, the material, its quality and the connection or bracing of the respective elements are also important. Talking of connection: The range of the wireless sound master also plays a major role, because it can be within an amazingly wide range! Between 5 and 50 metres, virtually everything is possible. It also depends on where the headphones are to be used: Bluetooth in-ear headphones, for example, offer particularly mobile audio fun because they are lighter and easier to stow away, whereas Bluetooth over-ear or on-ear headphones, thanks to their shielding from ambient noise, guarantee a somewhat less flexible, but all the clearer or more centred sound. Last but not least, every Bluetooth speaker review should take a look at the exact generation of Bluetooth technology. With B […]
There are some features and details to consider when reaching for the Bluetooth headphones, no question. But among the various guides and review reports that can currently be found on the internet, there are also many dubious or simply fraudulent contributions. Finally, many other aspects such as connection stability are also part of a helpful review. And yet such a reliable and professional Bluetooth in-ear headphone review or Bluetooth over-/on-ear headphone review as published here can be found – you just have to know where to look.
