A high-quality pair of headphones will always give the best sound. Moreover, it’s comfortable making it convenient. But, with development in technology, it’s made possible to have wireless headphones. Wireless headphones are comfortable and convenient. But, it’s audio transferinvolves more processes, and also it’s affected by external factors. This will finally result in poorquality sound.

But, with wired headphones, it doesn’t involve process (encoding, transfer, decoding). Thus sound won’t be affected and in the end, it will be of the best quality. Yet, there are the best quality wireless headphones that offer quality sound. This will depend on the technology used which includes the use of the latest Bluetooth version.

Wired is still king for sound quality?

Both wireless and wired headphones offer quality sound although, it has a slight variation. When not keen you can’t notice. Furthermore, both of them have other advantages and disadvantages over the other. When listening to music at high volumes it’s best to use wired headphones.Below are major reasons why wired headphones are still the king in sound quality.

Best Sound Quality       

There's a slight difference between the sound quality of wired and wireless headphones. People who suffer hearing loss or in loud surroundings will hardly note the difference. The wireless headphone will support 768 kbps. Normal wired headphones are capable of handling up to2,304kbps. This will depend on the output-ratio & the media device its sending signal through.This shows that wired headphones support the best quality audio than a wireless headphone.

Additionally, Every Bluetooth codec exhibits a higher level of noise. SBC, AAC, & LDAC330kbps exhibit loud noise. Wired headsets are capable of handling CD audio & 24-bit music.Bluetooth headphones can’t. With loud music, Bluetooth headphones will have more noise,unlike wired headphones. But for suitable results, the volumes should be below 90dB. When it’sabove 90dB you will hear the noise over 1kHz. 

Latency Codec                       

Latency has more effect on viewing and listening experience. Images and audio should bsynchronized for one to enjoy the experience. Movie, game, or any video, sound, and image needs synchronization. Wired headphones have a latency of 7 ms. In wireless headphones, it involves more processes which include encoding, transferring, & decoding data-packets. With this process, it means that the latency will be bigger than that of wired headphones.

Additionally, wired headphones have a lag-less sound playback than Bluetooth headphones. Yet,when listening to music or audio this isn’t an issue. Yet, to curb the issue of latency, CSR has made the aptX & afterward the aptX-Low Latency codec. With wireless headphones with Bluetooth 5.0 , latency will be improved.

Regular aptX improves latency because it has a better encoding-algorithm than SBC. But, aptX-LL offers a drastic effect on latency. Regular apt X has improved latency. This is made possible by its better encoding-algorithm than SBC. Though, aptX-LL offers a more drastic effect on latency.

No Batteries Needed   

With wired headphones, you need no external power source, unlike wireless headphones. Batteries increase the weight of headphones which makes it heavy hence uncomfortable.Furthermore, you will only use wireless headphones when the battery has power. Thus, you will be required to charge it first before using it. With wired headphones, you can use it at any time as long as the media device is powered.

Furthermore, the battery's lifetime decreases with time. This means that in the end, you will have to replace the old battery with a new one. This makes it costly to maintain, unlike wired headphones which are maintenance-free. But, some headphones offer both wired and wireless connection options. This will allow you to enjoy music all through.

Less Cost                                  

Why spend more of your money on a headphone and you can get an alternative one at a cheaper cost. More of the Bluetooth devices are expensive when compared to wired devices.Furthermore, the cost of repairing a wireless-headphone is more unlike with wired headphones.But, the cost of a product will depend on the product brand and quality.

Compatible To More Devices

Wired headphones are compatible with more media devices including the older ones. With wireless headphones to operate, the media device should be Bluetooth enabled. This makes wired headphones be used.

Additionally, with more Bluetooth devices around, it will affect your Bluetooth headphones.This will reduce the quality of the sound. Moreover, wired headphones are easy to use (plug-and-play). With a Bluetooth device, you have to power on the headset, pair it with a media device,and then connect. Sometimes you can encounter issues while connecting. It’s always advised that you switch it OFF then ON.

Conclusion      

Wireless headphones are good but not to everyone. But, wireless headphones with the latest Bluetooth connection offers a fast and stable connection. This will have a positive effect onsound quality and device performance. Moreover, Bluetooth headphones are suitable for people who like traveling.
