Headphones for TV with a long cable: characteristics and selection criteria

Headphones are an essential attribute of modern video and audio equipment. Sooner or later, a situation arises when headphones are needed. In order not to disturb others and spend time in comfort at the TV, they choose wired headphones with a long cable. Using a wired device is as convenient as possible and does not hinder movement. What modern models are the best and what you should pay attention to when buying - this will be discussed in this article.

To begin with, it is worth considering a number of characteristics of headphones for a TV with a long cable. Manufacturers often mislead consumers with common numbers that are printed on device packaging. Some indicators are on everyone's lips, so most users believe these figures, and subsequently the purchase does not live up to expectations.

A list of the main characteristics of the headphones, which are not always printed on the packaging.

• Sound frequency. The optimal figure is 15-20 thousand Hz. The depth of the sound depends on the frequency. Therefore, the wider the given indicator, the better.
• Power. The power range depends on the sound power of the TV. Most often, the indicator is 1-50 thousand MW. It should be borne in mind that the value should not exceed the indicated indicator on the headset. Otherwise, the device will not last long.
• Volume. The optimum volume for headphones with a cable is 100 dB. When buying, you should pay attention to these numbers. If the value is less than 100 dB, then listening to movies with poor quality sound will be problematic.
• Resistance. The standard figures for this indicator are 32 ohms. Resistance determines the required strength for the incoming audio signal.
• Distortion. For any TV model, the distortion level must be reported. This indicator measures the changes in the original frequencies of the sound. When buying, you must choose the smallest value.

The sound quality and service life depend on the cable. Everyone chooses the choice of length for themselves. The optimal and comfortable option will be models with a cable length of 5 or 6 meters.

It is worth noting the main advantage of wired headphones. Unlike a wireless headset, long-cord headphones do not distort the sound. Most of the models from well-known manufacturers use oxygen-free copper in the manufacture of cables. The audio signal goes through such wires without significant losses, so there is no distortion.

Through the use of a television headset, the perception of sound changes. High-quality, high-sensitivity headphones completely immerse the user in the atmosphere of a TV series, film or cartoon. There are models with a detachable cable, which expands the range of use.

The cable can be connected to a computer or game consoleke. Since modern TV models are equipped with telephony, most wired headphones come with a microphone. Therefore, making phone calls has become as convenient as possible.
