Specifications
| Ohrhörer (Open-Ear) | |
| How the headset sits on your ears. Over-ear surrounds the ears completely (comfortable, good isolation, but warmer), on-ear rests on them (more compact, more pressure), in-ear sits in the ear canal (small, ideal on the go). | |
| True Wireless, Ohrbügel | |
| How the headset is held in place: by a headband, a neckband, ear hooks or no band at all (true wireless). | |
| Bluetooth 5.4, Multipoint | |
| The wireless links. Bluetooth pairs with phones, laptops and many consoles without extras. "Funk digital" usually means a 2.4 GHz USB dongle: much lower latency, so the better choice for gaming. AAC, aptX and LDAC are Bluetooth codecs for better sound quality. | |
| integriert, 8 Mikrofone gesamt | |
| Where and how the microphone sits. A boom close to your mouth sounds clearest and picks up the least background noise; "abnehmbar" (detachable) means you can remove it and wear the headset as plain headphones. Mics built into the housing are less visible but usually sound more distant. | |
| wasserfest (IP55) | |
| Extra hardware features. ANC (active noise cancelling) electronically removes steady noise like engines or fans; swivelling or folding ear cups make the headset flat for a bag or around the neck. | |
| 6h, 21h (mit Ladeetui) | |
| How long one charge lasts according to the manufacturer. With ANC or RGB lighting it is often less in practice. From about 30 hours you rarely need to charge. | |
| USB-C Ladeanschluss, Ladeetui (470mAh), 1h Ladedauer, Schnellladefunktion (10min für 1.5h Betriebsdauer) | |
| How it charges. Fast charging means a few minutes on the cable give several hours of playback. | |
| 10.1g (je Ohrhörer) | |
| The weight without cable. Over-ears under about 270 g count as light, from about 310 g as on the heavy side: then good padding and a wide headband matter more. For in-ears the weight per bud counts; from about 6.5 g you notice them in your ear. | |
| 16Ω | |
| The electrical resistance of the speakers in ohms (Ω). The lower it is, the less power the headset needs to get loud: up to about 64 Ω any phone, controller or laptop will do. From about 150 Ω (typical for studio headphones) weak sources often sound too quiet and a headphone amp helps. For wireless headsets the value hardly matters because the amplifier is built in. | |
| 20Hz-20kHz | |
| The lowest and highest tones the speakers or microphone reproduce, in hertz. Humans hear roughly 20 Hz to 20 kHz; anything beyond is mostly marketing. The range says little about the sound, the tuning matters more. | |
| offen | |
| Closed-back ear cups isolate both ways: you hear less of your surroundings and others hardly hear your audio. Open-back headphones sound airier and more spacious but let sound through, better suited for home. | |
| Equalizer-Voreinstellungen, individueller Equalizer, App-Steuerung | |
| What you can adjust in the app or PC software, such as an equalizer to shape the sound or virtual surround for spatial audio in games. | |
| Touch Control | |
| The controls on the headset itself, e.g. a volume wheel, a mic mute button or touch panels. | |
| Colour | schwarz, weiß |
