Criterias of choice
It is better to choose the right model of wireless headphones for the pool after determining the main goal for which such a gadget is purchased. Based on this, it is necessary choose headphones with suitable parameters, of which each device has a lot. There are several main criteria that have a major impact on the usability of headphones, their capabilities and scope.
Sensitivity
The main parameter that affects the sound volume. If different models of headphones receive a signal of the same power, then the best volume will be provided by a device with a higher sensitivity level. This parameter is determined by the sound pressure level, which is formed after a 1 mW signal is applied to the speaker. The minimum sensitivity level for headphones to be used in noisy rooms or outdoors should be above 100 dB.
Devices with a lower value will not provide the required volume while maintaining sound quality.
Frequency spectrum
The maximum frequency range that the headphones support is between 10 and 20,000 Hz. The lower the speaker frequency readings, the less bass and treble sounds will be heard.
Operating time without recharging
This parameter is relevant exclusively for wireless headphones. If you plan to use the device for a long time, then you need to pay attention to models with a built-in battery of maximum capacity. The operating time without recharging can vary over a wide range from 2 to 12 hours.
Another important criterion is the time it takes to fully charge the battery. Most wireless earbuds charge within 2 to 6 hours.
Control type
The control principle on all wireless headphones is identical. The device has several buttons and when certain combinations are pressed, the device performs its functions: turning on music files, adjusting the volume, answering an incoming call, selecting a track. Headphone control settings are made through the head unit to which they are connected. Button control type is available on all types of headphones. In some modern models of wireless headsets, the control process can be carried out using a voice assistant.
