Music is an integral part of everyday life. It helps to brighten up the time on the trip to work and vice versa, tunes in a positive way or just sounds background noise during work.
Of course, if you do not want to bother others with what you listen to, you need good headphones. Having studied the suitable options on Yandex.Market, we made the top 10 best wireless headphones with a microphone at a price of up to 15 thousand rubles. All models presented in the list are full-sized.
Each model was selected based on user feedback, as well as for a combination of comfort, sound quality and active noise reduction. Let's be honest: audio is just one part of the equation when it comes to lengthy music listening sessions.
List is out of date, read the current ranking of 2019 wireless headphones.
10. Beats Studio 3 Wireless
The price is from 13 900 rubles.
Beats headphones tend to be criticized for two key things: overwhelming bass and markup for brand name. However, in Studio 3, the overall sound is much more balanced than its predecessors. Powerful bass is still there, but it does not cover the mid and high frequencies. As a result, the user receives a clean and high-quality sound.
Pros:
- The Studio3 headphones are equipped with an Apple W1 processor for ultra-fast pairing - this is the same Bluetooth module that is used in AirPods, Beats X and Powerbeats3 earbuds.
- There is a fast charge mode that takes only 10 minutes and gives you three hours of music enjoyment.
- If you are an iPhone and Mac user, you can take advantage of seamless switching between your phone and laptop thanks to iCloud.
- Soft ear cushions will not squeeze your ears even after several hours of being in earphones.
Minuses:
- The ear pads, though soft, are small. And for those who wear glasses, headphones can crush.
- With active noise canceling enabled, a slight hiss is heard in silence.
- Overpayment for the brand is still present.
9. Creative Aurvana Platinum
They cost from 12,660 rubles.
Sometimes you want your headphones to look as good as they sound. If this is what you need, check out Aurvana Platinum. These high-quality wireless headphones have a silver plastic headband and copper-colored leather ear pads. The retractable parts of the headband are made of metal and painted with black varnish. On the headband there is an insert of the same brown leather as on the ear pads. Headphones weighing about 332 grams do not press on the head and at the same time hold on to it tightly.
Pros:
- The beauty of Aurvana Platinum is more than just skin. Headphones support work with two smartphones or other gadgets at once.
- Thanks to HD Voice audio technology and four microphones, the sound quality is “round the clock” when talking, beyond praise.
- There is support for NFC. This makes it easy to connect to Android smartphones or tablets.
- If necessary, you can use headphones in wired mode, for this there is an audio cable in the kit.
- The noise reduction system of this model is one of the best wireless headphones on the market. This is noted by almost all users in the reviews.
Minuses:
- Despite the high price of headphones, the manufacturer was greedy, and instead of metal for the headband, he used a fragile and not very reliable plastic. As a result, he creaks and can easily burst.
- The control buttons are small, finding them on the right headphone cup is difficult. Best managed with a smartphone.
