The best bluetooth headset. Which headset is best for your phone? Budget Bluetooth headphone alternatives

If you drive a lot and want to stay connected all the time, then Bluetooth headsets become not a luxury, but a necessary thing in the household. Nowadays there are a large number of wireless headsets on the market, among which it is very difficult to find the right one for you. Like smartphones, Bluetooth headsets have both strengths and weaknesses. Some produce clear, clearly audible sounds, others have a high-capacity battery, others do an excellent job of eliminating noise, and station wagons, which have no obvious shortcomings, have a high price. To make it easier for you to choose the right device, we have compiled a list of the best Bluetooth headsets of 2016, without obvious weaknesses.

Plantronics Voyager Edge is one of the most interesting Bluetooth headsets of recent times, boasting excellent sound quality, long battery life, and good noise cancellation. You can use Plantronics Voyager Edge in almost any environment, even very noisy ones, and the other person will hear you perfectly. Plus, the gadget has a well-thought-out design, several built-in sensors and supports voice commands, and comes with a charging stand.

The Jabra Eclipse wireless headset is the epitome of elegance and style, supporting HD audio and working with two devices simultaneously. Another big advantage of the device is that it supports over-the-air software updates. To fully unleash all the capabilities of Jabra Eclipse, it is advisable to install the free Jabra Assist application on your smartphone, and the undoubted advantage of the gadget is full support for Siri out of the box. The headset is charged from the included docking station in the form of an improvised cradle; according to the developer, a fully charged battery lasts for 3 hours.

Style and invisibility, this is the principle of the Moto Hint + Bluetooth headset. This second generation of the device, compared to its predecessor, boasts a higher maximum volume and high-quality speech transmission, without losing its unique style.

The Jawbone Era headset looks very unusual and original, striking against the background of faceless competitors made like a carbon copy. The device boasts good sound quality and advanced noise cancellation, but compared to the Plantronics Voyager Edge, which can be purchased for about the same price, speech does not sound as clear. Also, some people may have complaints about the battery, the capacity of which may sometimes be insufficient.

Sennheiser Presence Basic is the most expensive headset on our list; it seems that you have to pay extra because of the well-promoted Sennheiser brand, which has long become synonymous with high-quality sound. The device boasts excellent sound quality and a large capacity battery. This Bluetooth headset definitely sounds no worse than the reference Plantronics Voyage Edge.

Motorola Boom is a nice headset, almost invisible from the outside, very comfortable to wear on the ear, at a very attractive price. The device produces good quality sound, has a fairly capacious battery, and a fairly average noise reduction system.

Finally, the cheapest wireless headset on our list, the Plantronics Explorer 500, has fairly average performance and unremarkable sound. However, they do their job properly, maintaining a stable wireless connection with the smartphone, filtering noise well and being quite loud.

Wireless headphones are getting cheaper every year. It is no longer a problem to find good devices with good sound for little money. And the development of lithium batteries has led to headphones becoming compact and lightweight. They can even be sold in a plug form factor. The main advantage of such headphones is the absence of wires. The main disadvantage is the dependence on the battery.

These headphones are suitable for athletes. They do not interfere with running or strength training. Headphones are also convenient to use in transport. You can simply leave your phone or player in your backpack, but this will not interfere with listening to music.

The best inexpensive in-ear wireless headphones (plugs): budget up to 3,000 rubles.

In-ear headphones have become very popular among athletes. A number of manufacturers have even focused on sports fans as their main target consumer group. Therefore, the emphasis in such headphones is placed on the following indicators:

• Battery life
• Maximum weight reduction
• Reliability of the temples for mounting on the head

The most trendy manufacturer of such equipment is the Korean company Samsung (which not so long ago successfully broke into the sporting goods market with the Gear Fit smart bracelet). Also, Jabra, known as a pioneer in the production of Bluetooth equipment, holds the lead. Our rating includes the most successful models of the year in the price group up to 3,000 rubles.

3 Meizu EP51

The best choice for record light weight
Country: China
Average price: 2,990 rub.
Rating (2018): 4.2

Meizu is capable of producing flagship phones at budget prices. And now, they have proven that they can release wireless headphones that are several times lighter than wired ones. Meizu EP51 weighs 15.3 g. This is the lightest headset in our rating. They are more than 2 times lighter than the Samsung EO-BG920 Level U, and 6 g. Lighter than Jabra Halo Fusion. At the same time, the weight reduction did not significantly affect the battery life. The manufacturer guarantees 6 hours of active use without the need to recharge.

Model features:

• Built-in active noise reduction system during a conversation through a headset
• Supports aptX technology for playing high-quality lossless files
• Voice dialing capability
• Time to full charge – 2 hours
• The disadvantages include the inconvenient case and the lack of a headband.

2 Huawei AM61

Sound quality
Country: China
Average price: 2990 rub.
Rating (2018): 4.8

Conditionally wireless option, working via Bluetooth. The sound quality here is excellent for this price category, the sound insulation looks decent and the battery life is pleasing. The headphones fit well in the ear - the model is considered sports and is suitable for running and working out in the gym. Reliability of fastening is ensured by special “horns”. Built-in magnets in the “plugs” also add convenience – they conveniently fold into a chain.

The kit includes 4 types of ear pads, a case, a USB charging cable and technical documentation. For the pleasant sound, we should thank the sensitivity of 96 dB, the 11 mm diameter of the membrane and the wide range of reproduced frequencies. What’s noteworthy is that the AM61 is equipped with water protection. The microphone works well - no noise or lag was noticed. The operating time is also amazing - the battery lasts for 9-10 hours, and it charges in 2 hours to 100% percent.

1 Samsung EO-BG920 Level U

Best indicator for battery life
A country: South Korea (made in China)
Average price: 3,390 rub.
Rating (2018): 4.9

Running to your favorite music is much more pleasant than to the noise of the city bustle. But it is important that the run does not turn into “no obstacle” in the form of a weak headphone battery. Therefore, in the EO-BG920 Level U sports headphones, the Korean manufacturer focused specifically on battery capacity. One charge is enough for 11 hours of listening to music, or using a headset to talk on the phone. Price is also a strong point of the device. These are the cheapest headphones in our rating.

Advantages and disadvantages of EO-BG920 Level U:

• The sound is frequency balanced. There is no distortion either at low frequencies or high frequencies.
• Wide range of colors.
• Ease of use. The design of the arms is designed in such a way that they do not fall off the head even during intense running. But there are problems with balancing. When wearing it, you feel a slight tilt towards the control panel.
• Weight is the main drawback. These are the heaviest headphones in the rating. Their weight is 33 grams.
• Users report poor synchronization with iPhone.

The best in-ear wireless headphones (plugs): price - quality

3 Philips SHB5850

Lightest headphones (12 g)
A country: Netherlands (manufactured in China)
Average price: RUB 3,665.
Rating (2018): 4.3

If you evaluate headphones based on their weight, the Philips SHB5850 is a clear winner. The weight of the device is only 12 g. With low weight, the manufacturer was able to calculate energy consumption in such a way that one charge is enough for 7 hours of continuous operation. Despite their compact size, the headphones also have serious sound potential due to the use of large, 8.6 mm drivers. In addition, the company redesigned the sound tube. They fit comfortably and don't fall out of your ears.

Peculiarities:

• Standard equipment includes 3 types of ear tips for different ear shapes
• Implemented wireless call and music control function
• Flat cable type – eliminates tangling of headphones.
• Playing uncompressed music

Philips SHB5850 is the best choice for those who value lightweight headphones.

Rating (2018): 4.8

Plugs that earn every ruble of their cost with excellent sound quality and instant connection with Apple devices. The headphones keep a strong connection even at a distance of 20 meters through several walls. Charging is very fast - even five minutes of charging is enough for two hours of use of the headphones. As a headset, BeatsX Wireless works perfectly - the interlocutors hear you well, and extraneous sounds do not interfere with the conversation.

The sound is excellent - clear, detailed. Some users in the reviews note that the bass and melody here are more interesting than those of famous competitors in the same price category. The headphones are quite suitable for sports, but when running, the cord jumps and causes some inconvenience. The control panel is functional: from it you can not only adjust the volume and switch tracks, but also call Siri, rewind songs, and turn off the volume when making a call. If desired, you can enable call announcements - the smartphone will pronounce the caller’s name.

1 Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H5

Best Sound Quality
Country: Denmark
Average price: RUB 15,990.
Rating (2018): 4.8

Among devices that rely on compactness, it is difficult to find headphones with good sound. Even more rarely, high-quality sound can be obtained from wireless headphones. But the Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H5 is an exception to the rule. This is an incredibly compact headset with an excellent balance of bass and treble. The operating frequency range of these headphones is from 20 to 20,000 Hz. Weighing only 18 grams, they accommodate a speaker with a diameter of 6.4 mm.

Main characteristics:

• Moisture protection allows you to use the headphones in water sports
• Own application for smartphones
• Quite a short time in music playback mode (only 5 hours, built-in battery – 100 mAh).

Best Wireless Bluetooth - In-Ear Headphones

“Ear buds” differ from “plugs” in their design and the principle of attachment in the auricle. It is impossible to say for sure which type is better. Everyone chooses based on their taste preferences, as well as the design of their ear. Some people feel uncomfortable wearing plugs. Others cannot use the earbuds because they fall out. With "plugs" complete sound insulation is often achieved. This is suitable for those who exercise in the gym, but is strictly contraindicated for those who like to run outside. If you have already decided that you are looking for in-ear headphones, then our rating will help you decide on a specific model

3 Plantronics BackBeat FIT

The best choice for active people
A country: USA (manufactured in China)
Average price: 7,890 rub.
Rating (2018): 4.3

“Headphones for sports” are perceived by many exclusively as devices for running. However, sports often involve activities that headphones are not designed for. Plantronics has created a device that will not interfere in either water or land. The electronics are hidden in a die-cast housing and are completely isolated from the external environment. The high protection class is useful for water sports, there are no extra wires that would interfere with power sports, and the lack of sound insulation will be highly appreciated by cyclists. To emphasize the positioning, the company even developed a special sports case for the smartphone. It comes included.

Model features:

• Available in two colors (yellow and blue)
• There is a bright LED indicator that allows you to see the athlete in the dark
• Soft bow. You can crumple it, put it in your pocket, and it will not lose its shape.
• Charging via standard microUSB connector
• Battery life up to 8 hours
• The only negative is the cost. The price tag of $130 was considered by many to be unreasonably high.

2 Urbanears Stadium

Convenient form
Country: Sweden
Average price: 6020 rub.
Rating (2018): 4.5

Ideal for athletic people and more. These earbuds have a thoughtful design that provides maximum comfort during use. The earbuds fit well on the ear, the wire does not get tangled thanks to its twisted shape, the headband is pleasant to the touch and does not dangle. High sensitivity of 115 dB provides high volume, bass and low/high frequencies in place - the sound is pleasant, detailed and not devoid of melody.

The control panel is located on the back of the head. It looks minimalistic, but this does not affect the functionality: with it you can not only adjust the volume and switch tracks, but also answer and end calls. The set includes three pairs of ear pads of different sizes. There is an LED indicator. The charge lasts for up to 7 hours of operation. In reviews, the owners of Urbanears Stadion note that the model is great for active pastime: running, training.

1 Apple AirPods

The best compact solution
Country: USA
Average price: RUB 29,990.
Rating (2018): 4.6

Apple's new headphones are not the company's first product in the world of wireless technology. The first device, the iPhone bluetooth headset, was released with the advent of the iPhone 2G. And the delay of almost 10 years between two similar devices suggests that the company was waiting for the moment when they could present something truly useful to the consumer. The appearance of Apple AirPods is associated with the refusal of the Cupertino company from the 3.5mm jack in the iPhone 7. But the focus on Apple products does not exclude the fact that the headphones can easily connect to smartphones running the Android operating system. The main difference between Apple AirPods is their incredible compactness. This is the first, and so far the only headset in such a compact embodiment.

Advantages and disadvantages:

• A microphone is built into each earphone. During a phone conversation, extraneous noise disappears, sound clarity is excellent
• A case with a built-in battery allows you to charge your headphones on the go.
• Fast charging, battery life – 5 hours
• Completely cable-free and incredibly compact. The headset weighs only 4 grams
• Synchronization with iCloud. Just connect the headphones to your smartphone, and they can automatically connect to any of your Apple devices
• The main disadvantage of the headset is the price. The headphones cannot compete in technical equipment with the Samsung Gear IconX, but are significantly more expensive.

The best over-ear wireless Bluetooth headphones

“Earbuds” are a transitional link between a compact headset and full-size headphones. From the first, they inherited light weight and ease of use in urban environments. What they have in common with the latter are the design of the speaker cup, more voluminous sound and the type of mounting on the head. On-ear headphones will be appreciated by those who are not ready to buy full-size headphones because of their bulkiness, but at the same time, do not want to switch to earbuds because of poor sound. We have prepared a list of the brightest models of the season so that you can make the right choice.

3 Philips BASS+ SHB3075

Great bass
Country: Netherlands
Average price: 2990 rub.
Rating (2018): 4.6

Comfortable on-ear headphones with long battery life (up to 12 hours) and high sensitivity. The sound is loud, the microphone is good. The foldable design allows you to fold the headphones compactly. The bass is excellent - the model was created specifically for lovers of booming and rocking bass. The diameter of the membrane is 32 mm, making the lows expressive and detailed. The range of reproduced frequencies is wide: from 9 to 21000 Hz.

2 AfterShokz Trekz Air

Bone sound transmission
Country: China
Average price: 10990 rub.
Rating (2018): 4.7

Good quality on-ear headphones with wireless functionality. The model connects to the phone via Bluetooth - the connection is stable, not interrupted, and the range is good. In the ranking of the most ergonomic headsets, this is the best model due to bone sound transmission. The essence of the technology comes down to transmitting sound through the skull bone in the form of sound waves, while the ears remain open, and the listener has the effect of music inside the head. The ears do not get tired, the eardrums do not strain, and the user can hear important external sounds. The model is suitable for people with hearing impairments.

It has water protection and a good microphone. Sensitivity 100dB – headphones are loud. The weight is small - only 30 grams. At the same time, the headphones work for 6 hours without recharging. Among the shortcomings is the specific sound, which is no worse than that produced by channel headphones. It's just different, and you need to get used to it.

1 Sony MDR-ZX330BT

The best ratio of price and quality. Popular headphones
A country: Japan (made in China)
Average price: 6,290 rub.
Rating (2018): 4.7

Budget headphones from Sony are always doomed to success. This is once again confirmed by the MDR-ZX330BT model. The headphones are supplied in a simple cardboard package, the equipment is basic. But this allowed us to focus more on functionality. We have before us a headset, the cost of which at the start of sales was $99. For this money we get not only serious technical equipment, but also high-quality sound. The distinctive features of the model include the following:

• Quick connection to a smartphone via NFC
• Soft ear pads that do not put pressure on your head when worn for long periods of time, but provide passive noise insulation
• Navigation buttons are located on the body. A standard microUSB charging connector is also located here.
• 30mm dome drivers for better sound quality
• Incredible autonomy. One charge lasts for 30 hours of music listening
• The covers on the speaker cups are made of plastic with corrugation. Over time, marks remain on it in the form of scratches and abrasions.

The Best Full-Size Wireless Bluetooth Headphones

When you watch TV, it doesn't matter how compact the headphones are in your ears. Therefore, full-size wireless headphones are a good choice for home use. They cannot compete in terms of compactness, but they confidently outperform small headphones in sound quality. Often, such a headset has large speakers installed<30 мм., и емкая батарея. Особенно, возможности беспроводных полноразмерных гарнитур оценят любители компьютерных игр – такие наушники часто ориентированы на подключение к PS4 или xBox One.

3 Beats Solo2 Wireless

The lightest over-ear headphones in the class
A country: USA (manufactured in China)
Average price: RUB 20,598.
Rating (2018): 4.5

Solo2 Wireless belong to the Active Collection series. From the name we understand the target audience that the manufacturer was targeting: young, active people who value street culture. Therefore, the weight of the headphones does not correlate with their dimensions. With a fairly large size, they weigh only 200 grams, do not restrict movement, and can be fully used both at home and outdoors.

Headset features:

• Hybrid structure. Can be connected either via Bluetooth or via a 3.5mm cable.
• Ear pads made of genuine leather. They sit softly and do not fall off while moving.
• They fold and are packed in a soft, foam-protected case.
• Custom software. Beats Updater allows you to update your headphone firmware.
• The downside is the short battery life. (About 12 hours, according to the manufacturer.

2 Sennheiser RS ​​160

Best choice for watching movies and TV
A country: Germany (manufactured in China)
Average price: 7,590 rub.
Rating (2018): 4.6

From a good film we expect complete immersion in the plot. This cannot be achieved with just a picture. You also need high-quality sound. Sennheiser equipment is a leader in sound quality. And the RS 160 model is ideal for home use. The focus on working at home becomes clear already when unpacking the headphones: a docking station is used for charging, and battery life is limited.

Pros and cons of the headset:

• The assembly is top notch. There are no backlashes or squeaks.
• Operates on AAA AA batteries. The batteries are located in the speaker cups.
• Operating time on one charge is up to 30 hours. Charging time – 16 hours.
• The degree of distortion is 0.5%. Operating frequency range from 18 to 21000 Hz.
• The high quality diffuser is built on neodymium magnets.

1 Sony WHH900N h.ear on 2 Wireless NC

Innovative technology for lossless sound transmission
Country: Japan
Average price: 19990 rub.
Rating (2018): 4.9

The Japanese manufacturer claims that these full-size wireless headphones reproduce sounds no worse than their wired counterparts. It's all about support for LDAC - a special codec developed by Sony for wireless transmission of high-quality sound via Bluetooth. There is active noise cancellation, which helps a lot on an airplane, but is ineffective on the subway. Wireless transmission is carried out via Bluetooth and NFC. Another bonus is the ability to listen to music via cable to save battery.

The sound is pleasant. High sensitivity (103 dB), widest frequency range (7–40000 Hz), large membrane diameter (40 mm). With all this, Sony installed a powerful battery that lasts for 28 hours - this is the leader in the top wireless headphones in terms of battery life. In addition, the headphones fold conveniently and fit into a compact and beautiful included case, and magnets are built into the case.

Freeing your hands from the phone and getting rid of the ever-twisting wires is the main goal of a Bluetooth headset. In addition to businessmen, the device is popular among athletes and motorists. We have made a ranking of the top 10 best Bluetooth headsets of 2017, based on customer reviews, technical characteristics and expert opinion.

Pros:

• Comfortable;
• Excellent noise reduction;
• Stylish look.

Minuses:

• Quiet;
• Price.

The cost of such a device starts from 3,700 rubles. The weight is 8g and the comfort is so amazing that you can forget about the headset in your ear. Signal transmission is fast and high-quality, but the volume is slightly lacking. Power in standby mode lasts for 240 hours.

Unfortunately, the devices are assembled in China, so be sure to check for defects when purchasing. Features include a Bluetooth 4.0 module, NFC support, a range of 30 m and, of course, a beautiful, slightly aggressive design.

Pros:

• Clear sound;
• Good volume;
• Great microphone.

Minuses:

• The case is a little loose.

Apart from the creaking noise from the case when you adjust the headset, the device has no other obvious drawbacks. The cost starts from 2550 rubles - not expensive, but not cheap either. Weight is 7.8g - less than most competitors. Bluetooth 4.1, charging lasts for 264 hours of standby time, convenient button location – these are the advantages of this device.

Thanks to a good noise reduction system, the interlocutor no longer needs to ask again - everything can be heard. The user receives clear and loud sound, relative to other models. There is a volume control button and functionality for audio control is implemented.

Pros:

• High quality microphone;
• Price from 1250 rubles;
• Great speaker.

Minuses:

• Doesn't fit well in the ear.

In the ranking of the best Bluetooth headsets, Jabra Talk ranks eighth. Due to the low cost of the device, but at the same time, good quality of both incoming and outgoing sound, the device has gained popularity among buyers.

However, behind the low cost lies the main problem - there is no comfort. In addition to the fact that the device tends to fall out, there are inconvenient and overly sensitive buttons that are pressed when not necessary. And the radius of 10 meters (as the manufacturer claims, but in fact no more than 7) is too small.

Pros:

• Price from RUB 1,489;
• Good build quality;
• Fast charging.

Minuses:

• At maximum volume you can hear wheezing.

Although it was assembled with high quality, the plastic wears out quite quickly. In just six months, the model will not be the first freshness. Bluetooth 3.0, range of 10 meters, excellent noise reduction and comfortable use puts this model in 7th place.

The volume is sometimes not enough, and there is also some rattling when talking, and this makes the headset far from ideal. To summarize, we can say that the model is budget and is more likely to be used in a car. The volume and quality of the speaker is not enough for the street.

Pros:

• Holds a charge for a long time;
• Comfortable;
• Good microphone.

Minuses:

• Weak speaker;

The mid-price model (from 2,200 rubles) has Bluetooth 4.0, charging, which lasts for 4-7 days of periodic use, an excellent noise reduction system, but at the same time a short range (about 5 meters in fact).

The model as a whole is worth attention - good assembly and all the necessary functions, but the sound is quiet. If you lower the price of rubles by 500-700, or increase the quality of the speaker (this can be done along with the cost), then Jabra Boost would enter the TOP-3.

Advantages:

• Comfortable;
• Qualitative.

Flaws:

• Price from 3000.

For Bluetooth 4.1, A2DP, a noise reduction system, an excellent 288-hour battery and a real range of 10 meters, you need to pay a lot. Although the model is not the most expensive in the ranking of the best Bluetooth headsets, it is far from cheap. Another drawback is that the button is tight, which means you have to put a lot of pressure on your ear.

The device looks stylish and expensive, has all the necessary functions, but not everyone can afford it. Most often, Plantronics Explorer 500 is chosen because of its design, because it makes a person look really status-conscious.

Advantages:

• Adequate price from 1500;
• Battery.

Flaws:

• Uncomfortable.

The model has the best performance in terms of autonomy. The battery lasts for 400 hours, while competitors have slightly higher than 200. It’s true that Bluetooth 2.1 and a quickly tired ear (although everyone’s ears are different, many buyers complained) are two unpleasant moments.

The sound is clear, the signal is not lost, and the cost is normal. Suitable for those who spend 12-16 hours on the phone, but you need to hurry with the purchase, because the model is old and will soon be removed from sale.

Advantages:

• Easy;
• Comfortable.

Flaws:

• Price.
• Battery.

If we start with the minuses, then Motorola Hint + does not have enough battery, after 4 hours of conversation you will have to look for USB, and the cost of 7600 is simply crazy. At the same time, a weight of six grams and Bluetooth 3.0, super quality of incoming and outgoing sound, A2DP and a range of 45 meters smooth out all the shortcomings.

This model is suitable for those who value only the best, and high cost is not important. The design won’t tell anyone that the device is expensive, so you won’t be able to show off your wealth.

Jabra Mini

Advantages:

• Loud and clear sound;
• Comfortable;
• Good working hours.

Flaws:

• Noise suppression.

The cost of the model starts from 2000 rubles, and all the necessary functions allow you to use such a device without problems and with convenience. The sound is loud and incessant, but the noise cancellation is terrible. If it's loud around you, you'll have to take out your phone. The device performs great in a car.

This headset is optimal in terms of price and quality, but the presence of a minus does not allow the Jabra Mini to become a device for wide consumption. This is more of a niche model for motorists or quiet office workers.

Advantages:

• Sound;
• Ergonomics;
• Moisture protection;
• Noise suppression.

Flaws:

• Price.

The battery will last for 6-8 hours of talk time, Bluetooth 3.0, A2DP and simply amazing ease of use are what puts the device in first place in the ranking of the best Bluetooth headsets. The ear will not hurt even after 14-16 hours of use. The signal is high-quality, even in very noisy places - there are three microphones inside. Well, the speaker produces a clear and stable signal.

True, you have to pay for everything. So for PLANTRONICS VOYAGER LEGEND you will have to pay at least 5,800 rubles.

It seems as if the leading audio equipment companies have decided to once and for all put an end to the production of the usual JACK headphones. And not everyone is happy with this order of things, especially those who use devices without the newfangled Lightning cables or USB-C.

If you have a pair good bluetooth headphones, you hardly have to worry about device incompatibility. Plus, you won't have to worry about tangled wires. All best wireless headphones have a number of similar problems: high cost, dependence on the battery and somewhat worse sound in contrast to their wired counterparts. However, all these shortcomings pale in comparison to the main advantage of a Bluetooth headset - the absence of dangling, torn and tangled wires.

The headphones are comfortable to use, they fit well on the head and do not put pressure on the ears. However, they are felt on the cheekbones, where they transmit sound. This feeling is normal and did not cause any severe discomfort during testing, however, you need to be prepared for the fact that these headphones will take some time to get used to. As with any unusual thing, be it a new car, new clothes or a new way to lose weight.

The quality of the transmitted sound is good, but you need to understand that the AfterShokz Bluez 2 are not audiophile headphones; it is clear that if you need impeccable sound quality, listen to expensive monitor headphones at home in silence. The AfterShokz Bluez 2 Bluetooth headphones are ideal for outdoor use when you need to hear the sounds around you to stay aware of what's going on. This is especially convenient for cyclists, because they need to constantly understand who is around so as not to run over or get hit by a car themselves. The sound is better than you'd expect, good enough for listening to music, and even more so for podcasts and audiobooks.

Moreover, Bluetooth headphones can be used as a headset for talking on the phone, the built-in microphone has a noise reduction function, and therefore conversation on the street will be quite comfortable for your interlocutors.

The headphones work up to 6 hours on a single battery charge.

Bottom line: I recommend AfterShokz Bluez 2 wireless headphones to those who spend a lot of time outside the home or driving a car, these headphones will be an ideal option for you.

Bluedio T2+ inexpensive Bluetooth headphones of excellent quality

Surprisingly, there are still companies in the world that are ready to offer good quality for reasonable money, or even better. Don’t rush to draw conclusions about the quality of the headphones by reading the brand name - Bluedio T2+ is an excellent example of wireless Bluetooth headphones that will not leave you indifferent.

The secret of Bluedio T2+ is simple - good sound quality, no wires and a great price.

Have you ever thought about the markup that famous brands make on their headphones? I will answer you, for many models it is more than 200%, and for expensive ones up to 300%. Can you imagine these numbers? It is very profitable to produce headphones, because... This is a personal accessory that each person chooses for himself. Each person hears sound differently, so there is no single standard or opinion regarding quality headphones. Of course, expensive models are made of higher quality from stronger, more durable and pleasant materials. And, of course, in general they sound much nicer. But the features and subtle nuances of each headphone model are why some people love one brand and hate another. Every brand tries to create their own sound, their own sound, and that's how they get loyal fans.

But Bluedio T2+ is created as an ideal product as opposed to famous brands. Surprisingly, costing mere pennies, considering their functionality and quality of workmanship, the sound of the headphones gives a head start to more famous and expensive headphones. And it is not just words.

Bluetooth headphones Bluedio T2+ They sit comfortably on the head and can work for up to 40 hours. This is almost a record.

In addition, the headphones have their own player built into them, just insert a MicroSD card with music into them and you don’t need any external source, the headphones will play the music themselves.

There is a built-in microphone, so you can talk on the phone without any problems.

SVEN AP-B350MV inexpensive but good Bluetooth headphones

I’ll reveal my cards right away and won’t fool you, inexpensive wireless Bluetooth headphones SVEN AP-B350MV are only good if we take into account their cost. For this price you are unlikely to find a better option. I'm serious, you don't even have to look.

However, headphones have several drawbacks; for many they may be of little significance, and the SVEN AP-B350MV were created precisely for these people.

The design is not very reliable. This means that with proper care, they will serve you for several years, but if you often want to carry them in your backpack among other things, or you carelessly like to throw your headphones on a table or shelf, you should know that the headphones will not last you more than a year. The weak point is the attachment of the cups to the headband.

The second minor drawback is the sound quality. You need to understand that the headphones sound exactly at their cost - at an average level. If you adjust the equalizer to your taste, you can listen to these headphones without difficulty, but if you don't have an equalizer, the sound will be flat, without good detail. But even then, they will be suitable for podcasts or audiobooks.

The operating time on a single battery charge is about 10 hours, and this is a definite plus of the headphones, not every wireless bluetooth headphones, even more expensive ones, can work just as long.

Bottom line: SVEN AP-B350MV headphones are suitable for those who are not looking for perfect sound for a price of $25. These headphones are for those who want good, mid-level sound at a reasonable price wirelessly and are willing to put up with a few minor drawbacks.

Defender FreeMotion B611 inexpensive in-ear Bluetooth headphones

If you need in-canal, extremely inexpensive, but wireless bluetooth headphones with decent sound, then Defender FreeMotion B611 is created for you.

These headphones have many more pros than cons.

The sound quality is very good considering the price of the headphones. I am sure there is simply nothing better on the market for the same money. Of course, Bluetooth headsets that cost 3, 5 or even 10 times more will have clearly better sound, however, the Defender FreeMotion B611 shows us a fairly confident average sound. The bass is in place, the mid frequencies are reproduced well and only at high frequencies you can notice some flaws, but they are insignificant and have almost no effect on the overall quality. And if you adjust the equalizer, consider yourself to have excellent taste.

The headphones are lightweight, fit well in the ear, and do not fall out of it.

The only drawback of the headphones is their short battery life of up to 4 hours. This is enough to get to work and back, or go for a walk or ride a bike. But you will have to charge them every day.

Bottom line: among in-ear models with Bluetooth, the Defender FreeMotion B611 headphones have no competitors in terms of price/quality ratio.

QCY QY12 are probably the best bluetooth headphones at an average price

In Russia, the QCY brand is not very widespread, but in vain. This company makes good headphones. I decided to add to this collection top model of wireless Bluetooth headphones QCY QY12.

Operating time on one battery charge is about 5 hours. It doesn't seem like a very long time, but pay attention to the fact that all the batteries are located in the headphones themselves, which are inserted into the ears. There is a small remote control on the wire, but it is very light and will not pull one of the headphones down. Many people do not pay attention to this point, but it is very important. On many other competing models, the battery is located in this remote control, and it is noticeably heavier as soon as you insert the headphones into your ears - the remote control begins to pull them down and you have to constantly adjust the headphones. There is no such effect in QCY QY12, which is great.

An interesting feature of the headphones is the built-in magnets. Imagine that you are listening to music and you need to take off your headphones. With other headphones, you need to completely remove the headphones and put them in your pocket or bags, because otherwise you can easily lose them and not even notice it. With QCY QY12 everything is much simpler, you just take the headphones out of your ears and hang them around your neck. The magnets in each ear cup are attracted and connected. This way they hang around your neck and you won't lose them. Convenient and practical. At the same time, when the headphones are connected, the phone automatically pauses music playback, i.e. you don't need to take out your phone at all. I would like to note that much more expensive competitors do not have such a useful and obvious feature.

The sound quality is good. I am sure that for most people it will be absolutely sufficient for daily use. There are low frequencies, they are clearly audible, but not amplified. This way, the headphones try to give you honest sound. Mid frequencies sound pleasant, vocals are natural, no complaints. High frequencies sound clear and bright. In a word, the QCY QY12 Bluetooth headphones sound good, without serious complaints.

Bottom line: if you are looking for not very expensive, but stylish and good-sounding headphones, the QCY QY12 is what you need.

These are modern devices that greatly simplify human life.

Convenient, compact, allowing you to always stay in touch with anyone

Bluetooth technology is supported by any laptop, touchscreen smartphone, tablet and the vast majority of push-button devices.

And if 8-10 years ago the option was used to transfer files, ringtones or photos, now wireless communication has much more possibilities.

Bluetooth is mainly used to organize the connection of various peripherals.

Peripheral in computer language means a collection of external devices.

They are bought to improve the quality of communication, but mainly for the ability to simultaneously drive a car and talk on the phone.
