The Best Headphones For You

If you find yourself confused by the wide range of headphones categories and trends, Use these 4 simple questions to decide which type is right for you.

Wires Or Wireless?

You probably look at this question and think, "really? aren't headphones with cords belong in ancient times?". But even if wireless headphones are all the rage these days, it doesn't make them the ultimate choice for you. Here are a few points to consider for and against going wireless.

Go for wireless if you:

- Move around a lot, and find the cords disturbing.

- Can manage the techy side of it (sorry, grandpa!).

- Have no problem charging them and remembering to do it.

Go for cords if you:

- Tend to lose small gadgets easily.

- Travel for many hours or go on long hikes often.

- Plan on using your headphones on multiple devices, at work, and at home.

Head-set Or Earbuds?

Just like shoes, the main issues to consider here are comfort versus looks. As for the comfort part, most people will find the headset easier on the ear, especially if they use it for a couple of hours straight. As for looks - earbuds will give you a more discreet look, while a full headset will let people know when you are busy. You should also consider size and portability.

What Is It Made Of?

This subject is often overlooked, and it is a pity. The materials will affect the comfort and longevity of your headphones - how light they will be, how easy to clean, and how they will feel against your skin. If you are going for earbuds, it is imperative to think over if you want to go for a plastic or a silicon finish.

Talk Or Listen?

What is your primary use? If you listen to music and podcasts most of the time, your main concern should be the sound quality. If your main goal is to talk over the phone, you should have a good speaker. Also, make sure you can speak with either of your headphones on (not just the left piece, for example).

Extra Points

Once you have your 4 questions answered, here are a few additional things to keep in mind when picking your headphones:

- Will they match your phone capabilities or outlets?

- What is the minimum battery time you need?

- Would you like them to be noise-canceling?

- Should they be water-resistant?

- Do you need a hybrid? For example, a set that can be used with and without a wire.

Conclusions

Wires - good if you are looking for a quick and simple connection with no fuss.

Wireless - if you are O.K. with some maintenance, then say goodbye to cords and enjoy.

Head-set - more comfortable, more visible, but won't fit in your pocket.

Earbuds - compact and discreet but may hurt the ear after a few hours of consecutive use.

Materials - make sure you like the look and feel of the headphones.

Talk - you need a designated quality speaker made especially for the task.

Listen - the quality of sound and general comfort are the main points in this case.

Good sound quality is found in all headphones nowadays, so you can genuinely consider and find the best fit without compromising.
