Earphones have definitely become a big necessity to everyone as it lets you listen to music and hear your calls better, but here comes technology giving us the option of staying wired or wireless. While wired earphones offer better audio quality, there are wireless earphones that give more convenience. Gone are the days of untangling your earphones that have become a nuisance for most of us who have to carry them around. Wireless earphones offer more freedom to do other activities while listening to music or doing calls while living the on-the-go lifestyle even while being at home.

I would like to point out how truly wireless earphones are such a marvel to have and of course, the downside to using them when working from home or doing online classes.
The advantages of owning a pair of Truly Wireless earphones revolves around the reason that it is, Truly Wireless. While enjoying the freedom of not being bound by wires to your laptop, it gives that liberating feeling of being able to move around, pick-up the materials you need for your meeting or recitation, and at the same time, still be able to participate while doing other impromptu or important activities that must be done.
Another reason why you should get a pair of Truly Wireless earphones is its additional features. While not all Truly Wireless earphones have this, there are some pairs that let you talk to Siri or Google Assistant to help you with your daily tasks such as telling you when your next meeting is going to be or remind you of your next class assignment. It helps you keep track of the things to be accomplished and researching by asking your digital assistants, doesn’t seem like a bad idea, right?
Although there is a downside to this and the most common one that I see is that these Truly Wireless earphones are too tiny and can often be misplaced by its owner. It would be a daunting task to look for them when they go missing at home. The other reason, and is probably the biggest downside to getting a pair would have to be, the price. The likes of getting a good, full-rounded Truly Wireless earphones would set you back for about PHP10,000 to PHP15,000 and that is not something that everyone could afford. And lastly, the battery life. Some TWS earphones can only offer up to 4 hours of battery life, so it’s not ideal to use if your job requires you to take calls for longer than that.

If you’re a casual user and just want to listen to music and take on Zoom calls or online classes for a couple of hours, I would definitely recommend that you get yourself a pair. A few thousand pesos lets you enjoy that wireless freedom you get while being able to work around your tasks better. But for heavy users that don’t want to worry about battery life, you can still opt for the traditional wired headphones. Let technology enhance your ways of working and get the most of what it has to offer.
You forgot latency. You need the pricier ones to have imperceptible delay in gaming or anything realtime such as audio/video editing and even then, it’s not always consistent that there’s no delay.
