Hello Fellow Mi Fans,Apple removed the headphone jack from the iPhone in 2016. Companies like Google, Motorola, and HTC followed soon after. Suddenly, once-niche wireless headphones were thrust into the mainstream. Buying Bluetooth headphones can be confusing, though. From sound quality to getting them set up, each model works differently. There’s a lot to understand, so in our today's volume of Mi Bunny Tips we got 6 tips that you need to know before buying a wireless headphone.
1. Types of Wireless in Headphones
When you think of wireless headphones now, you likely think of Bluetooth headphones. If your phone doesn’t have a headphone jack, then Bluetooth is your best option for listening to music. Your other choice is to use a USB-C headphone dongle. That’s a messier solution, and gets worse if you need to charge your phone at the same time. Bluetooth is convenient because it’s supported in all mobile devices, as well as a growing number of other electronics. It has a range of about 32 feet, and is pretty energy-efficient. It’s also improving rapidly thanks to the move to kill off headphone jacks.
2. Bluetooth and Sound Quality
The sound quality you’ll get on your Bluetooth headphones depends on what audio codec they use. The codec is a piece of software that encodes the audio at one end and decodes it at the other. Both your audio player and headphones need to support it.
3. Battery Life for Wireless Headphones
Bluetooth headphones get power from their own built-in rechargeable battery. Over-ear Bluetooth headphones have space for a large battery, charged via a USB cable. You should look for between 20 and 30 hours of battery life the JBL Everest, for instance, promises up to 25 hours. Bluetooth earbuds have shorter battery life. Those that use a cable to connect the two buds can typically offer around eight hours, and charge through a USB cable. True wireless earbuds, where both parts are separate, are good for around three to five hours. They come with their own special charging case. which also keeps the charge topped up when you’re not using the buds.
4. Pairing Bluetooth Headphones
Connecting Bluetooth headphones to a phone or other device can be as quick as plugging them in, or it can be quite frustrating. Headphones use NFC to speed up pairing. This is a wireless technology that enables devices to communicate by holding them close to one another. When used in conjunction with an NFC-enabled device including many Android smartphones but not the iPhone—you can pair the headphones with the device simply by tapping them against it.
5. Remote Controls for Wireless Headphones
Wired headphones often have a remote on the cable, but Bluetooth headphones don’t have this option. Instead, they build some basic controls, along with a microphone, into one of the earpieces. This may be in the form of buttons or touch sensors. It could also be a button to activate voice controls
6. Form Factor and Size
Wireless headphones come in the three standard styles: over-ear, on-ear, and in-ear. The first two look and function much the same as their wired counterparts. But the latter, in-ear, is quite different. A recent trend in the in-ear format applies to true wireless earbuds. Unlike the earliest models, which had the two buds connected by a cable that would go around the back of your neck, many models now lack wires altogether.
