  1. Frequency range. Yep, so many people think that this parameter of headphones is the most important, but it is not true. Manufactories measure frequency range as they want, without following to the common standards. As a result of producers’ dishonesty and their frivolity, all models of cheap or expensive, professional or every day using headphones can have the same frequency characteristics.
  2. The manufacturer country. The main number of people used to think that China is not the best country for the manufacturing quality electronics. Maybe it is true for some reason. But practice shows that European companies sell more expensive goods which not always correspond to the proper level of quality.

Some companies absolutely gratis sell together with their devices some “pleasant trifles” for consumers.

Else some, manufacturers provide in the set of devices nozzles of various configurations. It will help you to find out the most suitable variants of earplugs exactly for you.

Pay Attention to the Parameters, which Affect the Sound

There are two types of headphones, which you can see in the any electronic shop: open and closed models of the device. Which one is the best? Closed type provides better sound, doesn’t miss extraneous noises in the ear. With this earphones, you can be sure— other people will not hear what exactly you are listening.

The open type has special holes in the body, through which sounds penetrate into the environment and everybody can hear music or words of your subscriber. The advantage of open headphones — more natural sounds. So, if you will talk on the phone or listen to music in the public places — buy a closed type of headphones.

Take into account the level of sensitivity. To explain the nature of this parameter is very difficult. All that you need to know is: the higher sensitivity index — the better volume level your smartphone and headphones will provide. For home use with a smartphone, this indicator should be equated to 90 to 105 dB.

The last aspect which effects on the quality of earphones sound — resistance level. The resistance should be as low as possible. Choose portable models with 10–60 Ohm, and stationary — 100–600 Ohm.
