Mini-headphones: features, model overview, use
Headphones have become an indispensable accessory for people who spend a lot of time driving or on the road. In the first case, they help to conduct a conversation and free your hands, in the second - to listen to your favorite tracks in public transport and on the street. Wireless products have gained particular popularity. In this article, we will look at the pros and cons of wireless mini-devices and review the most popular models.
Peculiarities
The main feature of wireless mini-headphones is their compact size. Products literally hang in the palm of your hand and are practically invisible in the ears. Mobile devices are easy to carry and come with a small storage case that doubles as a wireless charger. Unlike full-size earbuds, the earbuds charge quickly enough, within 2 hours. The case also needs to be recharged periodically.
The devices are synchronized with a smartphone via Bluetooth and work smoothly at a distance of up to 10 meters. The built-in microphone allows you to do household chores and talk on the phone.
Usually microphones in mini-headphones are sensitive enough, but not enough to pick up a voice on a noisy street. But everything works fine indoors.
The devices are securely fixed in the ears. Some models are designed specifically for sports, as they have a high level of moisture protection and are equipped with a small wire connecting each earphone. This prevents the earbud from falling and damaging it in the event that it falls out.
Of the disadvantages of such devices, one should highlight the lack of high-quality sound insulation. In-ear products deliver sound directly to the auricle, but even at maximum volume, external sounds will penetrate inside. In mini-headphones, the battery runs out faster than in overhead ones. As a rule, the average operating time of the devices is no more than 6-8 hours.
Another disadvantage of the products is the impossibility of using them while charging - you have to wait until they are saturated inside the case, and only then listen to music again.
