Wireless gadgets are few people will be surprised,as well as sound without wires. But if we recall what inconvenience the entangled wires brought to us during the crucial moments of the games or failed our memory, and we got up to open the door or answer the call with headphones, while bending the 3.5mm jack. Radio wireless headphones for the computer pushed all this nightmare into the past, but the cable nevertheless does not pass its positions and is considered a quality standard for music lovers.
Users who have no particular complaintsrefer to the quality and decisive factor consider convenience, probably not unwilling to lie down on the couch to watch TV or to play your favorite game, and without constraining the movement of wires.
Let's try to figure out how to choose wirelessradioheads and not get confused in a huge range of brands and models, especially since the price for such a gadget is far from small. The lack of a cable is not the most important criterion, because you also want to hear a great sound. Here, and there is a dilemma - to trust the venerable manufacturer or technical characteristics of the gadget. This is what will be discussed in today's article.
Types of headphones
Depending on the design featuresThe design of headphones can be divided into overhead and monitor. Both types have soft rollers, adjacent to the head, and monitor still divided into open and closed, where the latter isolate you from the outside world by almost 100%.
Wireless open-type radio headphonesmore holistic picture in terms of sound, and closed ones are subject to resonance phenomena. However, the latter is extremely rare, so it's better to give preference to closed ones.
Classes
In addition to design differences, radio headphonesWireless is divided into classes: "High-Fay", "High End", professional, amateur, etc. However, to trust the seller, and sometimes even the manufacturer in the sense that his model is not amateurish, and the most that neither is "Hi-Fi," is not worth it, because the marketing goal of the latter is to promote their products at all costs, not embarrassed to mislead the buyer.
Therefore, before you purchase wirelessradio headphones for TV or computer, carefully read the technical specifications, which just reflects the degree of belonging to a particular class.
Principle of operation
Naturally, the main advantageWireless gadgets is the lack of restrictions for the user along with the ability to connect to various devices. In music lovers there is a strong opinion that wireless radio headphones transmit a signal worse than wired analogues. Such an accusation is not without grounds, and the main argument is a large number of signal transformations: first it is transmitted to the receiver, then it is coded, then it goes to the headphones, is decoded, and only after going all this way, the sound comes to the user.
In words it looks like a long chain, butmodern models perform all these steps extremely quickly, and the average user can not grasp the difference between a wired and wireless gadget (if the latter is not a throwing model for little money).
Wireless protocols are of several types:infrared, bluetooth or radio. Radio gadgets are the most "long-range", because they can provide a stable signal at a distance of up to 100 meters from the base. However, for such a large distance wireless radios pay relatively more interference from home or office electrical appliances. Infrared models perfectly cope with all sorts of interference, but here the radius of their action is very small - no more than ten meters, and even if the model is characterized by good reception indicators, and therefore, a high price.
Headsets with Bluetooth technology are somethingaverage honey infrared and radio models: a good level of resistance to interference and distance a little more than ten meters. However, this technology has one very tangible minus - weight. Built-in "Blutuz" -module weighs a lot, and the design on the head is cumbersome.
Portability
Wireless radio headphones should not burdenits user, and this is a fact. Of course, high-quality sound for a music lover above all, but if the gadget weighs under a kilogram, you can hardly enjoy music for a long time. Therefore, obviously you need to pay attention to the weight and dimensions of the fancy device.
In addition to these factors, it should also be taken into account that some manufacturers make their models foldable and very compact - this is useful if you decide to take them with you to nature or to travel.
Extra options
There are several other factors that are worthpay attention before finally determining the choice. The instruction should indicate the operating time of the device on one battery. It is worth considering this option if you do not want to turn a movie or a game on the computer into an endless series of recharging the gadget or changing batteries.
Be sure to look at the packagedevice and its full compliance with the declared in the list. Almost every self-respecting manufacturer will provide its consumer with branded batteries (so that they know which ones to buy next).
It will not be superfluous to mention the warranty period(the more, the better) and the availability of nearby service centers. Also, before buying, clarify the conflict of the device: some devices are extremely sensitive to competing brands.
Now, from the theory, let's turn to practice and consider the radically different wireless radios (the review is relevant for the spring of 2016).
Sennheiser RS 170
A good model, worth 10 thousand rubles,which gained popularity in a very enviable circle of both gamers and music lovers. The gadget is able to reproduce sound in the range from 18 to 21 000 Hz, which is an excellent indicator for low frequencies.
Impedance (resistance) is 32 Ohm, andthe signal-to-noise ratio ranges from 110 decibels. These headphones weigh only 200 grams with a small, and the battery capacity is as much as 600 mAh (two AAA cells). This is enough for a day of continuous use, along with quality sound. The type of fastening is standard, with a variable adapter of 6.3 mm.
Users are very warm about thismodel, noting that there is no noise in it, such as negotiations between taxi drivers and telephone splashes, but the only thing owners complain about is the inconvenient location of the functional keys to which it is difficult (but possible) to get used to.
Philips SHB9250
Wireless headphones Philipsbeautiful design, laudable ergonomics and wonderful sound. Are worth 9000 rubles. Unlike the previous model, this gadget can be connected to the base, that is, if your battery pack has sat down, then you can continue your favorite activity, but with a "snap". Judging by the feedback of users - this is a very useful and popular feature.
The package includes branded batteries andadapter to 6.3 mm. It is also possible to use a radio headset with a microphone (wireless technology "Wai-Fay"). In the kit, alas, the microphone is not included, so it will have to be purchased separately.
Of the pluses, user reviews indicate an excellenta system of touch control and a wonderful sound for almost any genre of music (excluding "industrial" and heavy metal). Some owners complain about the time-lagging and bass enhancement that sometimes works too hard, not coping with low frequencies.
Summarizing
The article provided basic information onchoice of those or other wireless headphones. Some fine tuning can be left to music editions, but one thing is for sure: the human ear is unique, and the same composition sounds for everyone in different ways - one will hear an extraneous sound or a tip, and another will not.
If you are a person without special melomanic claims and use headphones as a gamer, a streamer or just like watching a movie on the couch, you can safely dwell on the above models.
