How to choose Pioneer headphones?

Nowadays, the choice of headphones is huge. You can find a model for every taste and wallet, but not all devices are the same. Finding the right model may not be as easy as it seems at first glance. In today's article, we'll take a look at how to choose the right Pioneer headphones.

Modern trends are increasingly forcing us to abandon the use of wires. A few years ago, wireless headphones seemed like something fantastic. The choice of a Pioneer wireless device can be facilitated by its undeniable advantages.

1. No more cable problems... Everyone knows how such headphones are now and then tied into knots, lying in your pocket. It can be difficult to untangle them, especially on the go. The second problem is fractures where the soft wire connects to the rigid part. Violated insulation leads to a deterioration in sound, and then to a complete failure of the device.
2. The freedom of action. Many have had cases when, sitting at a computer in wired headphones, there was a need to get up for something and walk around the room, forgetting about the wire. Many users dragged laptops and even standing system units along wires from the table. Wireless headphones do not have this disadvantage, and you can use them to move around the house.
3. Appearance. The device, from which no wires hang, and the user is not wrapped by them from head to toe, attracts the attention of others. Such models look very aesthetically pleasing.
4. No need to keep your mobile device close to you. This is very much in demand today, since many people are "tied to power outlets" and have to constantly charge their devices. The described gadget allows you to listen to music while your phone is charging in another room.
5. On some headphone models there is a player and a slot for a memory card... This allows you to listen to music without wasting your phone.

But despite such advantages over their wired competitors, wireless headphones have their own set of disadvantages that must be considered before purchasing.

1. For wireless devices, in some cases the sound quality is much lower than that of wired ones.
2. Due to the built-in battery the weight of the described device increases.
3. Some rare phone models lack Bluetooth functionality, so their use will not be possible.
4. High price... Good wireless devices cost several times more than wired headphones.
5. Unexpected discharge can come as an unpleasant surprise and lead to some difficulties.
6. Often large or the size of the device does not allow you to hide them in your pocket... Putting headphones in a bag or briefcase on the go is very inconvenient.

Today, you can find many wireless headphones on sale, which differ in how they work and in appearance.

Wireless devices can communicate with your phone in several ways.

• Radio. Such a device has in its design a stationary transmitter and the rechargeable headphones themselves. The signal is transmitted in analog mode via FM waves (most often at 863-865 MHz).Potential radio interference affects the sound quality, so this device is not suitable for those who like to listen to good music for a long time.

• IR headphones. Infrared or IR headphones. They work by connecting to an infrared LED, which transmits an audio signal, producing a high frequency ripple. A decoder is built into the headphones, which picks up this signal, recognizes and amplifies. The range of the signal is several meters, but the receiver and transmitter must be in line of sight relative to each other. The principle is the same as when transferring pictures and music from phone to phone via infrared port. Just like the infrared port itself, infrared headphones are considered outdated and uncomfortable. They can only be suitable for watching TV or working at a computer.

• Bluetooth headphones Is a modern and comfortable look. They can work without a stationary transmitting device and support any gadgets that have Bluetooth. It should be noted that this method of signal transmission also has a distance limitation, which is 10 m. Such a broadcast cannot be intercepted due to the unique encoding method for each connection. Watching TV in such headphones is unlikely to work. Not all TV models are equipped with a Bluetooth function, so the connection may not be possible.

• Wi-Fi Headphones - these are modern devices, in fact, these are the same Bluetooth headphones. Wi-Fi is a technology for wireless local area network of various devices working according to the IEEE 802.11 standard. Any device that meets this standard can pass the Wi-Fi Alliance test, which will qualify it to bear the associated logo. Bluetooth headphones also comply with this standard, but cannot connect. Thus, a very clever marketing ploy was executed that divided the devices. As for the Wi-Fi headphones themselves, they can work with all equipment that supports this method of data transmission (TVs, smartphones, tablets, laptops).

It is worth noting the way such devices are worn. They are overhead and in-ear.

Overhead - these are any medium-sized headphones that are attached to the ears using earhooks or an arc headband. They can be open, closed or semi-open.... Open and semi-open models have poor sound quality, but premium products have good noise cancellation. Overhead models include large devices, the soft part of which completely covers the auricle. Such devices the best protection against extraneous noise. They are used by musicians and radio hosts.

Pioneer in-ear options more compact and fixed directly in the users' ear canal. Let's take a look at some of the popular models.

• S9 Wireless NC. These wireless earbuds have good noise canceling and high quality sound. Supports NFC contactless technology and aptX codec. This model is able to immerse you in the world of music without being distracted by extraneous noises. The device has an Ambient Awareness mode (listening to sounds around). Thanks to the presence of voice control, you can stop music, listen to a message or control your smartphone using voice commands.

• SE-E8TW. Sports wireless vacuum headphones. They hold well and do not fall out of the ears during training. Such a secure fit is achieved by the choice of the size of the clips that are sold with the device. Rare earth magnets provide not only clear sound, but also excellent quality music playback with the ability to support AAC.

• C4 Wireless... The in-ear wireless headphones with built-in remote are capable of supporting the Pioneer Remote App. The described device has very good sound quality.While listening to music, when the phone is removed at a distance, the headset will play not only your favorite tracks, but also the sounds of messages arriving at that time on the device.

• SE-C8TW. In-ear headphones. This device is lightweight and communicates with the device via Bluetooth. Charged within 3 hours. The device supports the AAC codec.

There are a large number of wireless headphones on the market today. To choose the model that is right for you, you need to decide where and how your device will be used. Looking ahead, it is worth noting that there is no one perfect headphone for every occasion in life. KaEach model is designed for specific purposes and operating conditions. After you have decided on the scope of use, you can go to the complete set.

1. The presence or absence of a microphone. The ability of the headphones to work as a headset depends on this.
2. Compatible with your devices... This is a very important point when choosing a product. If you do not pay attention to this, the headphones you bought may simply be incompatible with some of the devices.
3. Sensitivity... This parameter is responsible for the sound volume. The higher the value, the louder the sound played. For a noisy street, the sensitivity should not be lower than 100 dB. Otherwise, playback will seem too quiet.

Do not forget that this codec must be supported not only by the headphones, but also by the device from which the transmission is being carried out.
