Wireless headphone cases: why are you needed and how to choose?

In this article we will tell you what cases for wireless headphones are for, what additional elements they can be equipped with and how to choose them. You will learn the features of popular models, the advantages and disadvantages of protective covers from different brands.

If we consider full-size headphones, then carrying them in a backpack or bag is extremely inconvenient. If the model is foldable, the hinges are fragile and will not withstand the slightest pressure from other things. And it is often not recommended to fold / unfold them.

If the headphones are not folding, the situation gets worse. They take up more space and the likelihood of breakage increases. All models are usually made of plastic. This makes it easier to use as the earbuds are easier to wear, but reduces their mechanical strength.

The earbuds (the most famous are AirPods) come in a plastic case that reliably protects them from damage and also recharges them. But there are several points here:

• the case is made of glossy plastic, which quickly becomes covered with scratches;
• only white is available, while covers can be multi-colored;
• the standard case does not have a belt clip;
• there is no possibility of wireless charging;
• not very pleasant tactile sensations from glossy plastic.

We have made for you a selection of covers with the best ratio "protection degree - appearance - cost". This is not a rating, but rather a listing of worthy options.

This model protects the original case from dirt, scratches and mechanical damage. It is very compact and fits snugly on the case. Advantages - availability of wireless charging, high durability and affordable price. The disadvantage is only one color option.

This model is similar to the previous one, but has 2 colors. Wireless charging, compact size, perfect fit on the case and reasonable cost are saved. Minus - this case is only red or black.

This option is similar to the previous one, but made of plastic. Protects your AirPods from scratches, scuffs, and minor bumps. The advantages are compact size, the presence of a carabiner and an acceptable cost. The disadvantage is the poor color palette.

A special feature of this case is the built-in Lightning cable for recharging. It has a length of 9 cm. So instead of a charger, you can only carry an adapter with you. Otherwise, this is a regular silicone case, its advantages - protection from scratches and light damage, as well as a low price.The disadvantage is that there is no protection against falls and strong impacts.

The highlight of this case is the straps with magnetic holders. They securely fix the wireless headphones during transport, and the risk of losing them is minimal. Protection against dirt, scratches and other damage is high, and the material is wear-resistant. Pros - availability of 3 colors, durability and cost. But the laces can get tangled with each other and with other things.

This model reliably protects the headphones from moisture, dust, scratches and small shocks. You can attach a carabiner or a lace to it. Other advantages - several colors, a cover for the charging connector and an affordable price. But this model does not protect the case from strong impacts.

Made of premium leather, the case looks stylish and sophisticated. Available in 3 different colors. It protects against dust, abrasions and light moisture. Disadvantages - there is no way to attach a carabiner and weak protection against impacts.

Among the abundance of models, choosing the right option is sometimes not so easy. But it's not scary because you can buy several covers and change them depending on your mood. And yet you need to choose wisely.

First, decide on the required functions. Do you need a carabiner, wireless charging and more. If not, then think about whether they will be useful to you in the future. Select the cover material. Plastic and silicone protect the earbuds in about the same way, but they are tactilely different. Leather is a more premium material, but the cost of such a cover is also higher.

Determine the degree of security. Whether you need shock and water protection or just scratch and abrasion protection is enough. It is better not to save on it, but it is not so convenient to use a cover with plugs... Finally, choose a color.
