What helmets and headphones favor?

Let's start with the basic principles.If you are looking to buy a new pair of headphones or a more robust helmet, you will have to determine the formal factor that suits you: intra-ear headphones, supraicular or circum-aurural helmets.

Nowadays, many helmets and headphones have wireless connectivity, which is very practical if you plan to use them during your trips.That said, the superior loyalty offered by a cable will seduce audiophiles who want to make the most of their high resolution audio files.

There are also many additional features to take into account, such as active noise cancellation, which prevents ambient noise from spoiling your music.And if you plan to play sports with your new headphones, search for an IP water resistance index, which will protect them from sweat or even rain.

If you are looking for pure performance, you cannot surpass theSony Wh-1000XM4 helmet (which is at the top of our list of best helmets of 2021).On all levels, Sony's WH-1000XM4 is a wonderful wireless noise helmet that keeps its promises and ensures the management of multiple advanced codecs.

In terms of intra-ear headphones, bet on offers targeting 1more triple drivers.These headphones were already a good deal at their recommended sale price of € 100, but during the sales season, you can probably save a massive savings.

Finally, if you need headphones designed for sport, why not try the Adidas RPT-01 wireless helmet?We believe that this is the best fitness helmet in 2021, thanks to its breathable design and its autonomy greater than many of the best wireless wireless headphones.The hoop and the pads can be extracted and washed after particularly intensive sessions.And although sound quality does not compete with that of the Sony cited above, he concedes a decent and balanced sound scene, essential to motivate you.

3 helmets and headphones to monitor

1.Sony Wh-1000XM4

Sony's WH-1000XM4 offers excellent noise reduction and surprising sound quality, all in a light and comfortable design.Although it is not very different from its predecessors, the WH-1000XM4 has a number of new functions, including multipoint pairing, the ascending conversion of Extreme, taking into account conversations and reading/breakautomatic thanks to an integrated sensor, which allow him to win the title of best headphones in 2020 (and in 2021 for the moment).

Everything we found great with the WH-1000XM3 helmet was taken up by his successor the Wh-1000xm4, but very useful additions are also appearing.Sony has refined its approach to the cancellation of noise, especially in the medium ranges - these sound areas which delivers a low -level buzz, which you could attribute to a fan, air conditioning, or to a noise of the engine.As soon as you listen to your music, you no longer hear the outside world.

The LDAC codec of Sony does a good pairing work, letting a lot of details pass.The introduction of DSEE Extreme, a process controlled by AI which seeks to restore the details of lost compressed formats, provides clarity even in lower quality formats and files that you can launch on the WH-1000XM4.Finally, Sony continues to develop Reality 360, its house immersive audio format, which places you in the middle of an impressive surrounding sound mix.

2.Apple AirPods Pro

The latest True Wireless wireless headphones from Apple have active noise suppression technology, as well as a better sound environment than their predecessors, the 2019 AirPods.They obviously remain expensive, but they are clearly optimized for iPhone users.Thanks to their new design, they are much less likely to fall, and additional microphones guarantee audio calls - in addition to sound - fluid without letting the outside show.

The sound quality of the AirPods Pro has also improved since the previous iteration - the emphasis is on song and bass, which means that these headphones are more suitable for pop fans than those who appreciate musicclassic or more natural lives.Compared to a pair of high-end in-ear headphones (or even other True Wireless wireless headphones, such as the Sony WF-1000XM3), it is more difficult to hear all the details via the AirPods Pro.

Ultimate quality and not the least: Airpods pro take care of the health of your ears by optimizing the level of decibels through a new option called "Listening in real time".If the volume is too high, you will be notified immediately to come to the aid of your auditory duct.

3.1more triple driver

Until twice cheaper as headphones playing in their category, the 1more triple driver do not skimp on performance.Listening, each music is extremely detailed with a good sense of space.We were surprised to perceive each instrumental layer with great clarity.

Although they do not include any active noise reduction technology, the headphones have a largely sufficient sound insulation to cover any audio pollution during your outdoor and public transport trips.

There is very little to blame the triple driver.The design no doubt: their cable is rubbery and the remote control scares a little by its fragility.But, we are not faced with a cheap design.And, we will never repeat it enough: it is unlikely to find intra-ear headphones in this also economic range.
