entranceIPad mini 5 fit wireless headphones. The best wireless earbuds for your iPad
Smartphones and tablets have long been an integral part of our Everyday life... We cannot imagine a single normal day without communication. We like listening to music, podcasts, audiobooks, we want to be in touch all the time, even if our hands are busy, and we ourselves are in constant motion. That is why today Bluetooth headsets are so popular, they are replacing ordinary headphones, the wires of which often caused significant discomfort in movement and looked at least not solid. Let's take a closer look at the TOP-3 best bluetooth headsets suitable for iPhone and most other mobile devices.
Apple AirPods headset
Excellent headphones from Apple, comfortable and stylish, with a beautiful, familiar design and high-quality sound. This is not the first experience Apple release Bluetooth headsets, and this time they guessed its output for the appearance of the iPhone 7, which removed the 3.5 mm jack.
- Contents of delivery. In a laconic white box with the image of the device itself on the upper side and in which it connects to.
- Appearance. After opening the package with the headset Apple AirPods, the user sees a miniature box of snow-white color, which is a charging case. Inside it, the headphones themselves are conveniently located, which are stored and charged in it. The capsule case opens freely, at the bottom of it there is a built-in battery and a Lightning port. Closer to the bottom, in the middle, there is an almost imperceptible button with which the Apple Airpods headset is transferred to a connection with a tablet, laptop or other gadget. The whole design of the cover is very reliable with a metal, rather massive hinge. An LED indicator can be seen between the sockets, indicating charging and creating a Bluetooth pair. On the positive side, I would also like to note that the gadgets are attached inside with magnets, therefore, when turned over and opened, they do not fall out, and this additional protection from damage and loss. The earphones are similar to the standard EarPods, though their "legs" are a little longer and thicker, and instead of the usual wire, there are metal grids at the bottom that cover the microphones. There is also the area of contact with the charging module. In the upper part there are optical sensors. From the point of view of convenience, everything is on top here - they do not rub your ears, do not irritate, allow you to listen to your favorite music for hours without discomfort. Made of glossy high quality plastic, slightly slippery but not picking up prints. The color scheme is white. Weighing four grams each, the box case is also not heavy - only 38 g. The dimensions of one earphone are 16.5x18x40.5 mm. Case dimensions - 44.3x21.3x53.5.
- Work with the iPhone smartphone. Inside each leg of the earphone there is an Apple W1 processor, a Bluetooth module, a battery and an accelerometer. It is very easy to use the device, everything is intuitive here and the owner will not have any difficulties. When connecting the Apple AirPods headset to a smartphone for the first time, you need to open the capsule (modular) cover and a menu will automatically pop up on the screen of your iPhone asking you to connect the device. In the future, with such an action, it will be possible to find out how much time is left to work for each headphone and the module itself. All the necessary information is displayed on the smartphone display. Since there are two microphones, one of them can be assigned the master status or rely on automatic system selection. Infrared sensors on the ear cups indicate when they are in the ears and when the pair is in place, you can hear a confirmation before starting work. sound signal... If one earbud falls out or you take it out, the music row is automatically paused. In addition, one element can be a mono headset, which is convenient for drivers. Each of the microphones is paired with an interesting development - an acoustic accelerometer, which perfectly detects voice vibrations, thus filtering out noise and the output sound becomes very clear. Another sensor is configured for touch detection. After a double tap, Siri (voice assistant) is activated, with its help you can adjust the volume, start and stop playback, dial a number and perform a number of other operations. Also, you can accept and end the call with a double tap. In order to access the AirPods settings on the phone or tablet screen, you just need to click on the "i" next to the gadget in the Bluetooth menu. In the tab that appears, you can set up a double tap for start / pause, control microphones, and give the accessory a name.
- Working with other devices. In addition to the iPhone, Apple AirPods can be easily connected to another Android smartphone, Apple TV, tablet, laptop, MacBook or iMac. The main thing is that there is Bluetooth support for pairing. To synchronize, hold down the white key located on the front panel of the box, hold it for a couple of seconds and find the device in the Bluetooth menu. One of the interesting possibilities is pair work with Apple Watch... The watch in this pair acts as a player.
- Range and autonomy. The operating range of the Apple AirPods headset for the iPhone is quite usual - 8-10 meters, but at the same time, regardless of obstacles, the signal is good and is not interrupted. If you want to work out on simulators in a small gym, without fear that the phone will fall out of your pocket - the option is very suitable. Without recharging, the device fully fulfills its declared by the manufacturer five hours, and in just a quarter of an hour in the box it will recharge for another three hours of uninterrupted operation. A full charge box allows both earbuds to be energized about five times. So having a fully prepared kit on hand, be sure that you can listen to music for about a day. Whether the Airpods are fully charged can be seen on the LED indicator in the box - it will light up green, while during charging it will flash red.
Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Headset for iPhone
An interesting product from Xiaomi that differs affordable price, ease of use and concise, pleasant appearance... It will fit both the trendy iPhone and other devices and will look stylish and harmonious with any of them.
- Equipment. The Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Headset comes to the buyer in a simple, white, matte box, small in size. Inside the package are: warranty, instructions (in Chinese), the headset itself, ear tips (two ear pads, different in size) and a small microUSB cable.
- Design. Everything is very ascetic, nothing superfluous, but at the same time attractive. Opening the box, we see a cylindrical tube with a protruding part, in which the speaker is located, protected by a mesh. On the front side, closer to the bottom, there is an almost imperceptible gap in which the activity indicator and microphone are hidden. The indicator light blinks red or blue depending on the device's charge. At the bottom there is a microUSB input, into which a charging cable is inserted. On the top, you can find a convenient multifunctional key responsible for control. The body of the Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Headset is matte, plastic, looks reliable and durable. According to the manufacturer, it is made of hypoallergenic materials and covered with a special medical grade silicone. The dimensions are quite compact - 56x10 mm. Product weight - six and a half grams. Available in black and white.
- The device is in operation. The product functions thanks to the CSR 8610 chip. mobile devices syncs via bluetooth 4.1. There is noise cancellation, quite average, even for a device of this price segment, but this is a problem with many inexpensive mono headsets. Thanks to the support for the extended A2DP profile, you can listen to music. However, since this is a mono headset, you will certainly not get stereo sound, but mono sound is quite clear, without unnecessary noise. It is possible to enjoy your favorite song indoors without loud, distracting sounds, but outside it will be difficult due to people and cars. All control of the Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Headset is carried out with one button. By clicking on it, you can answer a call or end a conversation. Pressing twice will dial the last number, and holding it will call the voice assistant. If you press the key a little longer, you will be able to turn the device on or off, as well as put it into pairing mode. Using the same button, applications in the iPhone will start or stop, and the selected track will also turn on / off. I would like to draw your attention to an interesting opportunity - connecting a second device (phone, tablet, laptop). To do this, turn off Bluetooth on the first device, put the Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Headset into pairing mode, connect the second gadget and turn on Bluetooth on the first one again.
- As stated by the manufacturer, the product in the mode of continuous talk or listening to music tracks can work for about 4-5 hours, it will stay in standby mode for a week. It will take approximately two hours to fully charge the Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Headset. The range of action is promised to be up to 10 meters, but as many users have already noted, at 8 m or more, the connection begins to be interrupted. Plus not the best way the quality is affected by barriers in the form of thick brick walls.
Plantronics Voyager 5200 headset
This is a very convenient and very functional brainchild of the American corporation Plantronics, one of the world leaders among manufacturers of audio communications for business people. Plantronics Voyager 5200 can be used for iPhone and other devices.
- Contents of delivery. The Plantronics Voyager 5200 headset is shipped in a white rectangular box with an image on the front of the mono headset itself, the model name, manufacturer, and important benefits. Inside is the main device, all paper documentation (there is Russian language), the necessary earbuds in three sizes L, M, S and a USB cable. There is an extended kit on sale, which, in addition to all of the above, includes a very stylish stand case. He is also a charger.
- Design designed in the tradition of Plantronics - everything is extremely functional, comfortable, ergonomic and stylish. The earhook and the adjacent part of the body are covered with an elastic material, which provides a tight, reliable and at the same time soft contact. The rest of the surface, including the boom arm and earpiece, is made of durable and reliable matte plastic with rare glossy elements. The Plantronics Voyager 5200 headset is protected by P2i nano-coating from sweat, moisture and even light rain. The main components will be behind your ear when donning, which is also a big plus in terms of ergonomics. All buttons are easy to press and in predictable locations. The key for answering - at the attachment point of the microphone leg to the main unit, on the leg - a small red button on / off the microphone sound / activating Siri, Google now, Cortana. The latter is easily felt and pressed with the index finger. At the end of the outer edge of the Plantronics Voyager 5200 headset there is a call control key and pairing with another device.

- Work with various devices. Before using the Plantronics Voyager 5200 headset for iPhone, you must fully charge the battery, then turn on the power and connect via Bluetooth 4.1 to the gadget. You can also connect to another smartphone, tablet, laptop, etc. In addition, communication is carried out via the NFC interface. Voyager 5200 has MultiPoint technology, which allows simultaneous connection with two devices, although only one will be active. For full-fledged work, you need to install proprietary utility for iOS / Android - Plantronics Hub. Thanks to this application, you can customize the language of prompts, notifications and signals, familiarize yourself with the actions of the keys and indicators.
- Functionality and technology. Among the most notable features of the Plantronics Voyager 5200 headset, I would like to highlight an excellent four-channel microphone that supports noise canceling, Smart Sensor technology that recognizes context and optimizes workflow, and exclusive WindSmart technology. The latter recognizes the direction of the wind and takes the necessary measures so that it does not affect the quality of speech transmission. Also, the device notifies the owner about the name of the caller, supports voice control answer / reject. For convenience, you can call voice assistant with help special key... The function "Find a headset" will be extremely useful for those who have lost everything. It will allow you to determine its location using a signal or the Backtrack option. Also, the Bluetooth A2DP profile is supported, allowing you to listen to streaming audio... For high-quality music tracks, the mono headset is not the best option, but for various necessary materials, podcasts, audiobooks is quite suitable.
- Autonomy and range. In the talk mode, as the developers promise, the Plantronics Voyager 5200 headset will work continuously for at least seven hours and will operate in standby mode for up to nine days. Storage case, which acts as a portable charger, will increase the time autonomous work Voyager 5200 for 14 hours - two full charge cycles. The gadget fully charges in 90 minutes. The battery status can be seen by the LED indicator located on the case, and voice prompts will also tell you about the need for recharging. In addition, you can check how much time is left for a conversation from the Plantronics Hub app. The range of the device reaches 30 meters, which is just an excellent indicator in comparison with analogues.
The TOP-3 best Bluetooth headsets for iPhone considered in our review are quite different both in price and in additional functions, but they are all created to make our life more pleasant and comfortable. Indeed, thanks to wireless headsets, your conversation will not be interrupted due to busy hands or an uncomfortable position at the most inopportune moment, the phone will not slip out or break, as you are distracted by something. They make it easier to communicate on the go and while driving, listen to music, solve business issues and spend time in the gym. So you just have to decide which one suits you best and purchase a convenient novelty.
If you bought a smartphone or player with an "apple" on board, you will certainly find branded earpods in the kit. However, if you are lucky enough to become the owner of an Apple tablet, this small and useful "trick" will not be found in the box.
The situation turns out to be quite twofold, of course. On the one hand, everything is logical and fair, well, it's completely inconvenient and even a little strange to use the iPad as a player, on the other hand, it's hard to believe that a tablet user won't need headphones at all. Firstly, if we consider the iPad as a mobile gadget, which the user often takes with him, and does not use only at home, then music, for example, can be listened to in the background when viewing mail - one gadget, several functions, very convenient! Secondly, not everything rests on music - in order, say, to watch a movie on the way home to the subway, headphones will also come in handy.
In short, you probably understand why we are all - to the fact that sooner or later the owner of the iPad is faced with the need to purchase headphones. The undemanding user, however, will go to the nearest electronics store and purchase the simplest wired model... But! Connoisseurs of comfort and / or music lovers will certainly want something that sounds good and is wireless. Of course, in order to get both, you need to shell out a lot of money, and when it comes to solid spending, of course, it is advisable to prepare for the purchase in advance, so that later it would not be excruciatingly painful for your "hard-earned money". Well, read our review - wireless headphones for iPad and choose correct model! In the review, we will look at 10 headphone models - in five price categories - starting with budget options, let's finish the "luxury".
Cheap and angry
We have one representative in this category - SVEN AP-B350MV - and this is a really cool, if not a cult model! "Svens" will cost you 25 dollars, that is, at the current exchange rate of about 1,500 thousand, and this is the price for wireless headphones, in principle, small, and if you consider that we are talking about really excellent wireless headphones, it becomes completely clear why this model is so successful.
SVEN AP-B350MV demonstrate a very good sound - a music lover may, of course, not appreciate it, but the average user will definitely be satisfied. An obvious and indisputable plus of the model - it is made really conscientiously - high-quality plastic + metal frame provide the device with excellent reliability. In addition, the earbuds can also boast of a good autonomy - 10 hours without recharging. As for the comfort of use, it all depends on the context - overhead headphones, and therefore, of course, will not work for sports (and who will go for a run with an iPad as a player?), But if we consider the indicators of convenience in the class of overhead "ears" "- the model is very comfortable.
Unfortunately, the model also has a minus. However, it is possible that it will be eliminated soon. SVEN AP-B350MV got a very strange factory marriage (hardly conceived like that), the noise isolation of the left earphone is obviously weaker than that of the right one.
"Golden mean
In the next price range, we have two models with a price tag of $ 45 (approximately 2500 rubles) - Meizu EP51 and LG HBS-500 ... In general, both models are positioned as headphones for sports, but we believe they will appeal to everyone who loves light and almost imperceptible "ears".
It's actually difficult to choose between these models - both of them in their price range demonstrate great sound, both are stylishly designed and comfortable to wear. Reliability is also on top - quality materials, well thought-out design.
Probably, the choice here is determined by the "chips" - for example, in the Meizu model there is a magnet on each "ear", and this allows them to be folded very comfortably, but the "ears" from LG charge faster, and they also have a special multi-button, which is responsible for a bunch of actions - however, this is not an unambiguous plus - someone it finds this solution convenient, but someone does not.
And, nevertheless, if the author had to make a choice, he would prefer LG headphones - they have a very comfortable headband. It is made of a tough and rather heavy material, due to which the weight is distributed on it and the "fit" of this model is more confident and dense than that of the Meizu model.
With a hint of grace
MEElectronics X7 Plus is the most budget model in this category - it will cost $ 110. "Ears" demonstrate clear sound - bright top, confident bass, clear vocals and excellent noise isolation, which even seems excessive to some. At the same time, the headphones are quite functional and easy to use. The design is pleasant, the design is reliable (even moisture resistance is provided!), The autonomy is excellent, comfortable to wear (weighs only 14 grams!). However, this excellent model also has one drawback - the microphone is located a little inconveniently, far from the user's lips, so it should have been made more powerful.
Next model MEElectronics Air-Fi Matrix2 AF62 - $ 140. These "ears" show surprisingly smooth and very pleasant sound, especially rich and detailed bass. The model is as easy to use as possible, the functional buttons are placed thoughtfully. The design is pleasant, the headphones are very comfortable in the nose - lightweight, the ears do not get tired or sweat, although the design is overhead. On a separate line it is worth noting autonomy - Air-Fi Matrix2 AF62 will work without recharging for more than 20 hours! And, by the way, unlike the previous model, this one is fine with a microphone, but unfortunately, Air-Fi Matrix2 AF62 obvious problems with noise isolation.
And two more models Jabra REVO Wireless and Sony MDR-ZX770BN - $ 150 each. Both those and other headphones can boast of powerful bass, but the first "follow" the balance - here both the middle and high frequencies sound great, but Sony models the bass is clearly "bulging" - the situation is not for everybody.
The design of both earbuds is very strong and reliable, while in autonomy the Sony model loses - with the declared 18 hours, the earbuds can hardly pull 8, but the "ears" from Jabra honestly fulfill their 12 declared ones. And also a model from the Jabra brand can work with a special application created for them on the iPad, which makes it possible to customize the sound optimally for yourself. "Fly in the ointment" - not very good noise isolation (the headphones themselves, everything is fine with the microphone), at the moment when Sony she's gorgeous.
Cool guy
In this category we have one model - Plantronics BackBeat PRO - the price is 250 dollars (14,000 rubles!). The sound of these headphones is of high quality and universal, noise cancellation is excellent, battery life is a day without recharging! Functional and not devoid of features - take off the headphones, pause the music, put it on - it plays again. Very Beautiful design and reliable performance, included - a stylish case.
Minuses? If you find fault, we can say that the "ears" look heavy, but in fact they are light and comfortable.
Music lovers swoop
These "guys" are created for music lovers and connoisseurs of what is already there. Noise cancellation in both "ears" is excellent, it is even difficult to know who is better. Comfort, functionality, ease of use are also at their best both there and there. Even the autonomy of the headphones is the same - 20 hours. But! Despite the fact that both models sound great and very clear, Sony headphones still sound more expressive and powerful, and they also have a very cool design!
The taste and size of the wallet
Well, this is how the top looks in our opinion. best headphones 2017, but the sound of the music is a very subjective question, almost the same as the design, so you may well disagree with us. Yes, you can follow our recommendations and buy one of the models presented in the review at a pleasant price for yourself, or you can just go to the store and ... listen, listen, listen ... and then make your only correct decision! Our choice - Jabra REVO Wireless - average price within of this review, a good balance of all the main parameters - sound quality, functionality, autonomy, etc. But decides, of course, the presence special application and the ability to customize the sound for yourself.
The company still doesn't see a place for this connector in the future. Also complete with new iPad Pro there is not even an adapter for headphones or EarPods with a USB-C connector. It's time to switch to wireless headphones.
After the headphone jack began to disappear from new smartphones, there was a surge in activity in the wireless headphone market. Now you can find any headphones you like: noise canceling, with Siri integration, inexpensive, etc. Below we have collected the best wireless earbuds for you.
Sony WH-1000XM3
If money is not a problem for you and you travel a lot, the Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones are for you. They perfectly suppress side noise, provide high quality sounding and very comfortable. The older model - WH-1000XM2 - is also of the highest quality and comfortable, but with the new headphones Sony brought these characteristics to new level using a dedicated noise suppression chip.
The headphones have Siri integration, which means you can activate your personal assistant by pressing a dedicated button.
If you travel frequently and watch movies on your iPad Pro while in flight, the WH-1000XM3 is the perfect earbud for you. One charge lasts for 30 hours of music playback, i.e. they will easily last for a couple of weeks.
If your main concern is noise reduction, choose old model WH-1000XM2 to save money.
Audio-Technica M50xBT
The Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones are renowned for their excellent sound quality, which has already been appreciated by hundreds of users and critics. Besides the purity of the sound, the headphones provide excellent isolation. Plus, they are very comfortable and look premium.
The earbuds can last up to 40 hours on a single charge and support AAC and AptX codecs. There is no active noise cancellation, but noises are not audible thanks to the design of the earbuds, and this should satisfy most users. Headphones are integrated with Siri.
These headphones have one of the better ratios prices and quality.
Sony WH-CH700N
If you want inexpensive Sony headphones, go for the CH700N. Noise cancellation is not as effective as that of the WH-1000XM3, and the sound quality of the new model is also incomparable.
However, these headphones are very comfortable and can last up to 30 hours with a wired connection. They support fast charging, so 10 minutes is enough for one hour of music playback.
Best of all, this model is much cheaper than the new one.
Jabra Elite Active 65t

The snug fit to the ear provides excellent isolation, complemented by high quality sound. Charging is enough for 5 hours, and a quick 15-minute charge adds an extra hour and a half. The Jabra Elite 65t will easily last for a day or two.
You can save some money by choosing the Elite 65t non-Active model.
Jaybird x4
In everyday life, we often have to be in touch, but sometimes our hands are busy.
For example, while driving a car, it is much more convenient to attach a Bluetooth headset to your ear than to stop the car and answer a call.
This is just one use of the headset.
On the this moment the headset not only helps users answer calls, but has become a full-fledged headphone.
Now you can safely listen to music, and not the very last quality.
How to connect a Bluetooth headset
Besides, bluetooth connection headset k happens in no time.
By the way, you don't have to worry if such a device will fit the iPhone 5s or iPhone 7.
Each model of smartphones from Apple supports the A2DP protocol and the Bluetooth technology itself. Accordingly, compatibility problems should not arise.
First, activate the discovery mode in the Bluetooth headset. This will make it visible to your iPhone.
Normally, the LED will light up when turned on. This means everything is working correctly.
Your iPhone should see the headset nearby and connect to it.
Headsets usually have factory-set passwords. If it's standard - 0000 - then your phone will connect itself.
Otherwise, you will need to enter a code. Usually it is indicated in the instructions for the headset.
If everything went well, your name will be in the Devices section. On the contrary, it should say “Connected”.
In fact, the process is absolutely uncomplicated.
Usage
You can recheck the headset after connecting. For these purposes, ask someone to call you.
If the connection quality has not deteriorated, then the device is working correctly.
In general, all you need to do to receive a call is to touch the headset and press a button. Now it can lie further in your pocket or bag.
However, you can answer the call the old fashioned way - by clicking on the iPhone display.
Some users want to first find out who is calling them and then take the call. So this method also takes place.
Also, if your headset has been with you for a long time, and the button is out of order, then you have no choice but to speak, having received a call on the phone.
Impact on the battery
However, there is one unpleasant fact when using a Bluetooth headset and this technology in general.
Your iPhone's battery drains noticeably faster than normal use.
So it can be impractical to use a headset all the time. At some point, you may not even notice that the device has turned off.
Thus, it is worth turning it off if there is no need for it.
The lineup
It's easier to choose a Bluetooth headset for your iPhone than headphones.
Moreover, in latest model smartphones abandoned the usual 3.5 mm jack.
This is not a problem for Bluetooth headphones. So the headset is just as easy to connect. Let's consider the various offers on the headset market.
AirPods
These headset headphones are specially designed for latest version iPhone.
So you get more than just good sound, but also a number of additional functions.
For example, AirPods automatically connect to Apple devices.
You can hear the interlocutor in them perfectly. The volume level is excellent, as if with a margin.
As for music playback, there are wireless headphones and more powerful. But in general, this headset is great for iPhones older than the fifth version.
In addition, the headset headphones provide good noise isolation.
However, using Siri on a noisy street will still not work - she simply does not understand you due to the large number of third-party sounds.
Work in offline AirPods about five hours. The indicator is pretty average.
But it should be borne in mind that charging takes place using a very fast technology.
It is enough to lie down for 15 minutes for the headphones in the case, where they recharge, as you can continue to listen to music in the next three hours.
In addition, the headset fits well in the ears. That is, playing sports in them will not be difficult.
On the contrary, your daily activities can knock the headphones out of your ears more easily - you can hurt them while changing clothes, etc.
We will also continue the training topic - the device is protected from high humidity and sweat.
Their weight is relatively insignificant. So it is convenient to study in the gym.
As for the pricing decision, it is certainly not for everyone.
The device, in fact, was designed for branded iPhones.
With them, the whole idea of the Apple corporation is felt.
For a fairly high price, you get a durable, stable device with good sound performance for both music and the interlocutor.
Mi bluetooth headset
A more budgetary, but quite functional option will be a headset from Xiaomi.
The only thing is that it is a mono headset. Accordingly, it is not suitable for listening to music. Its main task is to receive calls.
Such a device looks quite simple, with a minimalistic bias.
Available in two colors - white and black.
Taking the device out of the box, you will have an oblong stick, which is a mono headset.
In addition, although it is not always convenient, you can listen to music through a headset. It implements A2DP support. In addition, the headset can work with multiple smartphones.
As for the autonomy of work, the Mi Bluetooth Headset calmly withstands 5 hours of active talk time and listening to music.
However, in standby mode, it shows an excellent indicator of 180 hours, which is equal to a week.
Charging takes about two hours. work with two phones is supported, there is noise cancellation.
In addition, on the iPhone, the battery level is displayed in the status bar.
In general, the mono headset copes well with its tasks.
You can hear the interlocutor well. He also does not complain about the quality of the connection.
Although the device implements noise cancellation mechanisms, in fact, it is almost impossible to communicate in conditions of strong noise. This is also influenced by the open design of this device.
When listening to music, the speaker volume is higher than during a call.
The operating range is 10 meters. This is typical for this type of device.
In reality, it is not advisable to move far from the phone and talk, the quality of communication will deteriorate. Nevertheless, everything works fine in spacious rooms.
In conclusion, it should be said that such a mono headset copes with all its functions.
It also costs an order of magnitude less than AirPods. Besides, not everyone needs additional features implemented in a branded headset.
So Mi Bluetooth Headset will be a good purchase for everyday purposes.
Voyager 5200
This model contrasts quite strongly with the compact headsets from Apple and Xiaomi.
Nevertheless, this is already the traditional design of Plantronics.
At the same time, the manufacturer focuses on the functionality of the device, rather than its external indicators.
So, there is nothing to show off in some way.
At the bottom there are special contacts for interacting with the docking station.
The micro-USB connector is clearly visible. The leg is adjustable. The arc also turns.
So the ear hook is pretty good. And you can wear the device both on the right and on the left ear.
The indicator light on the back is invisible, and there is NFC for connecting to Android smartphones.
The Voyager 5200 has a good set of advanced features.
It recognizes names even in Russian. So when you call, he will notify you who is calling.
All this and not only is carried out by special sensors. Their functions also include:
- accepting a call, intercepting it from a smartphone;
- support for the A2DP protocol, so you can listen to music in the headset. The call when reconnecting from the phone to the headset will also not go astray;
- when the device is removed, the playing records are paused.
If you do not need it, the sensors can be turned off.
However, it is still more convenient with them. You can even control your device like Siri. The Voyager 5200 accepts commands like a reply.
Besides customize Extra options via an app called Plantronics Hub.
You can find it in the app store. In the program, you customize everything for yourself.
Firmware updates also happen thanks to this application. The language file is also located in the preferences pane.
If something goes wrong, you can't update the device, then reconnect Bluetooth, restart your smartphone and headset.
The autonomy of this model is better than that of the above-presented colleagues - 7 hours.
You will have to charge it within an hour and a half. However, you can use the headset even when it is connected to the charging port.
In addition, there is a special case for sale with a built-in battery.
Same given manufacturer has its own proprietary technologies:
- WindSmart - detects the direction of the wind, respectively, the headset adapts to this, including a specific microphone.
- The 4-channel microphone is implemented with noise canceling mechanisms.
Thus, your interlocutor will hear you perfectly.
As for the cost, it is in the region of 10 thousand rubles.
And this is a great device for the money. Yes, there are some nuances in the reproduction of names.
This is not always clear enough. However, this device has many functions that can even be turned off if necessary.
Voyager 5200 is customizable. Most of the parameters are adjusted in the iOS app.
Plus, the sound is great. Additional technologies to improve it still work great.
Among the disadvantages is the design. The headset looks a bit bulky.
Outcomes
At the moment, there are a lot of devices on the market for headsets for the iPhone.

The main task of such devices is to receive calls using wireless technologies.
However, some headsets can be used as full-fledged headphones. However, in this case, you need to exclude mono headsets.

Thus, when buying, you should pay attention to the ergonomics and functionality of the device, but focus on the quality of the connection. It is audibility that comes first.
