How do you choose headphones for on the go?

No matter if you take public transport to your work, go on vacation with the airplane, or bike to the gym. There's nothing nicer than listening to music when you're on the go. In this article, we'll tell you more about the specifications that are useful for headphones for on the go, like the popular noise-canceling.

Choose headphones for on the go

Headphones in hand

To enjoy your music optimally, it's necessary to look at a few important specifications. Ask yourself the following during your search:

  • Do you want to wear the headphones over or on your ears?
  • What do you find important about the sound?
  • Do you want to adjust the sound via an app?
  • Do you hear a lot of ambient noise on the go?
  • Do you listen to music for long every day?
  • Do you want to make calls with the headphones on the go?

Do you want to wear the headphones over or on your ears?

Over-ear headphones

It's important to look at the way you wear your headphones. For example, there are over-ear headphones and on-ear headphones. Over-ear headphones go over your ears, and on-ear headphones rest on your ears. One of these wearing method isn't better than the other, but there are some differences.

What do you find important about the sound?

Hi-Res audio

The sound quality is an important aspect when you listen to music on the go. Do you have specific wishes for the sound? We're happy to help you find headphones with the right sound.

Do you want to adjust the sound via an equalizer?

App equalizer

Many brands have their own app, which allows you to adjust the sound of the headphones via an equalizer. This way, you can adjust the bass, mid-range tones, and treble on the go, so you'll listen to a custom sound.

Do you want to hear less ambient noise on the go?

Noise canceling

When you're on the go a lot and are distracted by ambient noise, noise-canceling is a useful function. This function mutes ambient noise, so you can focus on your work. Noise-canceling headphones are divided into 3 categories. There are basic, mid-range, and high-end headphones. A high-end model mutes the ambient noise much better than a basic model.

How long is your trip ahead?

Battery life

Are you on the go for a long time? We recommend to buy headphones with a long battery life. This is mainly something to keep in mind for a long flight.

Do you want to make calls with the headphones on the go?

Headphones with microphone

We don't recommend to buy headphones to make phone calls often. The quality of the microphone is often not sufficient. Do you find phone calls important? Consider a Bluetooth headset.
