Specifications
| Ohrhörer (In-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). | |
| bügellos | |
| How the headset is held in place: by a headband, a neckband, ear hooks or no band at all (true wireless). | |
| nein | |
| 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. | |
| 3.5mm Klinke | |
| The wired connections. A 3.5 mm jack fits controllers, PCs and many laptops; USB-A/USB-C carries the sound digitally and bypasses the sound card. "Adapter" means the connection runs through an included dongle or extra cable. | |
| nein | |
| 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. | |
| geschlossen | |
| 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. | |
| 1-Tasten-Fernbedienung | |
| The controls on the headset itself, e.g. a volume wheel, a mic mute button or touch panels. | |
| Colour | silber, schwarz |
