How to Choose the Best Bluetooth Headphones Battery?
Choosing the best battery for your Bluetooth headphones can be simple when you know what to look for. Here are some key factors to keep in mind.
- Battery Life
Battery life is the most critical factor. You want headphones that last long enough for your needs. Look for headphones with at least 20 hours of battery life if you use them all day. An 8-12 hours battery life may be enough for occasional use. Always check the manufacturer’s details to see how long the battery is active and in standby mode. - Fast Charging
Fast charging can be a game-changer. Some Bluetooth headphones offer hours of use with just a few minutes of charging. For example, many brands provide features like 10 minutes of charging for 1-2 hours of playback. This is ideal if you’re always on the go and need a quick recharge. Choose headphones that support fast charging if you have a busy lifestyle. - Battery Type
Most Bluetooth headphones use lightweight lithium-ion batteries, which hold a charge well and can be recharged many times before wearing out. While lithium-ion is the most common battery type, check if the headphones use a reliable and long-lasting battery. It would help to avoid headphones that use outdated battery types, as they may perform poorly or hold a charge as long. - Charging time
Look at how long it takes to charge the headphones fully. Some models can take up to 4 hours or more to reach a full charge, while others can charge in 1-2 hours. If you don’t like waiting, find headphones that offer a quick full charge. Remember, longer charging times can be inconvenient, especially if you need your headphones ready quickly. - Battery Life with Extra Features
If your headphones have extra features like noise cancellation, these can drain the battery faster. For instance, noise-canceling headphones may last 10 hours with noise cancellation on but up to 20 hours without. Always check how long the battery lasts when using all the features. If you love noise cancellation, choose headphones with a more robust battery to support it.
Most people find themselves leaving the case at home once it proves to be an annoyance with how much volume it takes up in a bag, but I contend it’s a necessary part of any wireless product. A case, even if it’s nothing but fabric, helps prevent scratches, cracks, and bends by making it more difficult to exert a lot of force directly on the headphones themselves. Every time you put your headphones in your bag unprotected, you roll the dice on minor damage that adds up over time, so just go the extra mile and keep ’em in a case.
