Choosing SmartBuy headphones

The products of SmartBuy are quite familiar to domestic consumers. But it is important to know how to choose headphones even from this quite responsible manufacturer. It is also worth considering the features of specific versions.

It should be said right away that SmartBuy headphones can hardly be called original devices. So, the i7 version copies the well-known AirPods. However, the size of the "duplicate" is larger than that of the original, and the prices, on the contrary, are lower. SmartBuy has a wide range of headphones, and it is definitely more than that of the same Apple brand. Therefore, the choice of the appropriate version is available to almost every consumer.

The company uses high-quality, well-designed microphones with high sensitivity to equip its products. Almost all models are created using Sound technology. To make cups, silicone and special foam are combined.

Among the wired models of SmartBuy headsets, the ii-One Type-C stands out. This is a modern in-ear modification, which is equipped with a 120 cm cable. The product is painted white. The manufacturer claims that it provides full stereo sound. The electrical resistance level is 32 ohms.

Other important characteristics:

• playback frequency from 20 to 20,000 Hz;

• speakers with a diameter of 1.2 cm;

• Type-C connector (not to be confused with Bluetooth);

• microphone on the control panel.

Fans of new products should pay attention to another wired in-ear model - S7. In terms of frequency range, it is not inferior to the previous version. The speakers also have a diameter of 1.2 cm. Controls include a volume control and a button for receiving incoming calls. The cable is 120 cm long and the overall product is painted in an attractive black color.

But SmartBuy can offer a lot of interesting and connoisseurs of gaming headphones. In this segment, it supplies solid, bright stereo headsets. So, the Platoon model, aka SBH-8400, is a modern full-size headphone.

Other features are as follows:

• cable 250 cm long;

• equipped with a microphone with a sensitivity of 58 dB;

• reproduction of stereo sound;

• adjustment of ear pads;

• increased softness of the headband;

• speakers with a diameter of 4 cm.

Another compelling gaming device is the Commando headset. It is likewise designed for stereo sound reproduction. By default, connection is provided via 2 minijack pins. Cable length - 250 cm.

It is quite reasonable to single out wireless headphones in a separate category. The i7S plug-in devices are a prime example. To transmit sound to speakers with a diameter of 4 cm, the time-tested Bluetooth protocol is used here. The design includes a microphone with a sensitivity of 95 dB. Of the controls, there is a button for receiving calls.

Other features are as follows:

• charging station for 400 mAh included in the delivery set;

• rechargeable via the supplied microUSB cable;

• packing in a special case, it is also a power supply;

• acceptable value for money;

• the ability to use as Handsfree;

• duration of work on 1 charge up to 240 minutes;

• LED illumination.

In the SmartBuy assortment, headsets for connection to desktop computers are separately mentioned. So, the JOINT model is equipped with a 250 cm cable... The diameter of the cups in this overhead modification reaches 4 cm.The electrical resistance is still the same - 32 ohms. The microphone is attached to the left earcup. The headband can always be adjusted so that you can fully focus on work (or play). The automatics are thought out in such a way that the ear pads themselves are exposed in the most convenient position. The device is claimed to be suitable for:

• use of IP telephony services;

• work in the Call center and on "hot lines";

• listening to audiobooks;

• games of various genres;

• playing music on your computer or audio player.

The i7 MINI in-ear headset is also very popular. The device produces relatively good stereo sound. The speakers are downsized to 1cm (larger in the original i7).

The RUSH SNAKE modification is discontinued. In any case, there is no actual mention of her on the official website. Likewise, the archive section contains information about the TOUR headphones. Therefore, it makes sense to pay attention to another novelty from SmartBuy - a universal mobile headset Utashi Duo II. The brand name of this in-ear product is SBHX-540.

The main nuances are as follows:

• wire connection, through a standard minijack connector;

• cable 150 cm long;

• coverage of all human-perceived frequencies;

• dynamics of 0.8 cm diameters;

• full stereo sound.

AND complete the review pertinently with the EZ-TALK MKII... Like all other options, this device produces excellent stereo sound. Consumers will find a very sensitive microphone and the ability to adjust the headband. The speaker diameter is 2.7 cm.

It would be possible to list specific models of SmartBuy headphones for a long time. But it will be much more important for buyers to know how to choose the most suitable version. Headsets (that is, a combination of headphones and a microphone) are great at helping:

• when communicating remotely via the Internet;

• in online games;

• when studying on the Internet;

• when organizing online conferences.

Headsets today most often use the Bluetooth protocol. Of course, there are wired options as well. But they are much less practical. Basically, a wired headset is chosen for professional use when it is important to hear extraneous sounds too. It is also worth paying attention to exactly how the microphone is positioned.

Its placement on the headphones (close to the mouth) increases the clarity of your own speech. In compact phone headsets, the microphone on the headphones is usually movable and can always be swiveled to the side to eliminate interference during a conversation. The rigidly fixed version will be more attractive for purely work purposes or when connected to a computer. There is also a fundamentally different option, when the microphone is inside the body of one of the headphones.

The placement of the microphone on the wire is typical for a telephone headset. But this decision is hardly welcome. It transmits sound too poorly. As for the sensitivity of the microphone, you should recognize it as accurately as possible in the documentation, and not trust the advertisement. Important: a very high sensitivity is relevant only for microphones mounted on a wire.

If the distance to the lips of the speakers is small, the ultra-sensitive microphone is a waste of money. The choice of headphones for gaming deserves special attention. The easiest way to navigate, of course, is a specialized selection from SmartBuy. But it is important to understand that everything is very individual here. "Ears" that delight one person, another may categorically dislike.

Those who are going to play for a long time and often, and not from time to time, should definitely prefer full-size models. Only they are able to demonstrate the necessary characteristics during a multi-hour session of their favorite show. A metal guide and a soft head pad are very helpful. "Foam" ear pads, thanks to the memory effect, are welcome. It is useful to check if the outer shell material breathes well.

True connoisseurs of games are trying to buy headphones with multi-channel sound. For most tasks, the 7.1 mode is enough for them. A comfortable game is confidently provided by devices whose cable reaches at least 250 cm. An alternative can be considered technology based on Bluetooth. However, it should be of really excellent quality, because sometimes a single glitch spoils the whole experience of the game.
