NOT TO BE MISSED

If you are looking for products other than Bluetooth headsets, here are some alternatives:

  • Best Bluetooth headphones
  • Best Bluetooth speaker
  • Best gaming monitors
  • Best TVs
  • Best notebooks
  • Best keyboards
  • Best Android smartphone
  • Best Cameras
  • Best smartwatch
  • Best smartband
  • Best wireless charger
  • Best power bank

The first step from which to start in order to choose your new Bluetooth headsets wisely is to understand the main use you want to make of them. For those who simply need devices for listening to music during their daily movements, the opportunities are endless, while those who want greater sound quality or are looking for products to use during the sports activities must take into account more stringent parameters.

In any case, there are features common to all headsets that can be easily compared and that provide a good overview of the quality offered. Here are the ones that we have taken into consideration more carefully, trying to establish parameters that are easy to understand for a large number of users.

  • Design : the aesthetic and structural aspect already makes it possible to make an important division between the various types of earphones on the market, most of which are in-ear or earbuds. Among these it is then necessary to further distinguish between those true wireless , completely wireless (now most) and those that have collars or other connections between the two earphones. In addition, you must also pay attention to the quality of the materials and other additional features, especially the waterproofness for Bluetooth sports headphones.
  • Technology : despite being small products, the differences on a technical level are by no means negligible. We are not just talking about driver sizes or impedance values, but also about the number of microphones, audio amplification technologies and noise canceling systems (ANC). Not to mention still quite innovative headphones, such as those that adopt bone conduction.
  • Compatibility : most products included in our lists have a very wide compatibility, thanks to updated Bluetooth versions (5.0 and higher) and good hardware qualities. Some of the best Bluetooth headsets also feature support for aptX codecs. Do not forget the compatibility with smartphone apps, which often add other controls for audio adjustment.
  • Autonomy : this parameter is fundamental for Bluetooth headsets, since it represents the true Achilles heel for some models. Having a good battery life can often make a difference for those who use their earphones a lot, but fast charging support or charging cases can also offer valuable help.
  • Functionality : Thanks to the high competition in the market, wireless earphones are now full of interesting features. In addition to support for voice assistants (Siri, Google Assistant or Alexa), we often also find active noise cancellation (ANC), automatic play / pause when wearing or removing and many features available from the smartphone application, such as personalization equalizer, fit tests and much more.
