TOP 5 smallest headphones
5 JBL Free X
Country: USA (made in China)
Average price: 5590 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.0
TWS wireless earbuds with a small membrane diameter of 5.6mm. They connect to the phone via bluetooth 4.2. The microphone is average, as is the case with most other wireless devices. Music is reproduced well, there are basses, highs and mids are balanced. They sit tight, but only with properly selected ear pads. They live without recharging up to 4 hours, with a battery in a case - up to 20 hours. The battery is excellent.
Of the serious shortcomings, the owners note the periodic loss of the signal from the left earpiece while driving (for defective specimens), high frequencies that cut the ears without first setting the equalizer.
4 Motorola VerveBuds 300
Country: China
Average price: 3990 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.3
Small wireless headphones that work on bluetooth version 5.0. Weigh 10 g, membrane diameter: 6 mm. Despite the fact that the model is very small, it is equipped with a microphone. Duration of operation of the device: up to 4.5 hours on a single charge, up to 9 hours from the battery in the case. There is IPX6 water protection. VerveBuds 300 connects to phones, tablets, PCs and laptops.
Stylish design, compact dimensions of the ears and the case, convenient touch controls are the main advantages of the model. The sound is good, detailed, there is support for the AAC codec. The quality of communication through the microphone is 4-ku: sometimes the interlocutor hears perfectly, but it will not work on the street to communicate without interference. Significant disadvantages: a large percentage of marriage, the fragility of the battery, difficulties when connecting to a smartphone for the first time.
3 JVC HA-FD7
Country: Japan (made in China)
Average price: 6490 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.3
In-ear wired headphones for Hi-Res Audio - high-resolution audio compositions. Can be used with a phone, PC, laptop on almost any OS. The model is equipped with a small membrane: only 5.8 mm in diameter, as well as neodymium magnets, an oxygen-free copper cord, and a 3.5 mm gold-plated mini jack plug.
There is iPhone support. The sound quality is an order of magnitude higher than that of other wired plugs within 5000-6000 rubles. But to enjoy the fullness of the sound, you have to choose the right equalizer program. After tuning, the bass is soft, the middle is without dips. The highs are a bit harsh. Disadvantages of the model: a rather weak cord, the bass is not deep enough.
2 Onkyo W800BTB
Country: Japan
Average price: 19490 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.3
Compact fully wireless headphones. They work on bluetooth version 4.1. The weight of the device is 7.5 g. Due to the small size, the model is practically not felt on the ears. W800BTB reproduce sound with rich deep bass, highs are clear, detailed, do not squeak, though a little harsh. The middle is a bit wobbly though. They live on a single charge up to 3 hours, from the case - up to 15 hours, in standby mode - up to 40 hours. Range - 10 m.
The model suffers from periodic “falling off” of the signal in the subway and on the street: the left ear disappears. Headphones do not hold a charge well - enough for a maximum of 1.5-2 hours of continuous use without recharging. Inconvenient pins are installed in the case: you have to get used to quickly insert / pull out your ears. Another couple of minuses: no noise isolation and sound lag in the video.
1 Sony MDR-EX155AP
Country: Japan
Average price: 1290 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
Wired in-ear headphones with the smallest weight in the selection - only 3 g. They are distinguished by good sound quality, minimalist design and quite affordable price. They are connected to the phone via an L-shaped plug. The bass is moderate, loud, the top is sonorous.
But in order to achieve good sound, optimal sound isolation, you need to adjust the equalizer and choose the right ear pads. There is a microphone that works quite tolerably for the budget price segment. Objective disadvantages: very thin wires, undeveloped bass, durability problems. These headphones must be handled very carefully, otherwise they will fail after 1-2 months from the date of purchase.
