Why Sony WH-H800 is the most worthwhile wireless headset to buy in 2017?

How to choose a suitable headset for the new smartphones where 3.5mm headphone jack is almost unavailable?

Looks or sound quality? You can have both

It can be seen that when headphones become another frequently used product besides smartphones, and even an inseparable product for many young people, people's requirements for the appearance and design of headphone products will naturally no longer be the same as the standards of previous tool products.

In this regard, Beats, which has always relied on "selling its face" for a living, is undoubtedly the one with the most say. Unfortunately, as for the sound quality, Beats Solo3 Wireless does have some improvements over its predecessors, but the usual rough tuning, at this price, is still more in line with people's definition of Beats headphones, which is more like a trendy accessory rather than a high-quality headphone.

On the contrary, options from the BOSE brand, such as BOSE SoundLink II, have not completely deviated from the more conservative design ideas of traditional headphones. The vast majority of design languages ​​are focused on meeting the needs of sound quality and usability.

Fortunately, the emergence of Sony WH-H800 has solved the problem that headphone products have always had to choose between appearance and sound quality.

From a design perspective, the Sony WH-H800 maintains the simple aesthetics of the Sony brand. At the same time, the elegant curve on the side of the shell optimizes the folding space, and the compact earphones with on-ear design can be easily put into a bag and carried around.

Similar to Beats, Sony WH-H800 also offers up to five optional colors, from elegant light gold and gray-black to younger and more distinctive twilight red and mint green, satisfying the different aesthetics of different users.

In terms of sound quality, Sony WH-H800 meets the Hi-Res Audio high-resolution audio standard, and with the addition of the digital sound enhancement engine DSEE HX, it fully meets users' psychological expectations for sound quality at this price point.

In terms of parameters, the Sony WH-H800 is equipped with a 40mm driver unit. When the power is turned on and the headphone cable is connected, it has high-bandwidth audio performance from low frequencies to 40kHz high frequencies. In the Bluetooth mode when the power is turned on, the digital sound enhancement engine DSEE HX can better express high-frequency signals and tail sounds that are often lost in audio compression processing, providing natural sound effects with a sense of space.

Lightweight design, long-lasting battery life, and wireless transmission technology

How can wireless headphones be more comfortable to wear? The weight of the headphones themselves is obviously an extremely important key point.

The Sony WH-H800 weighs about 180g, so it is naturally a lightweight player that pleases users. In addition, under the product concept of h.ear on 2 Mini Wireless, even compared with Sony's other h.ear products, the small and light features of the Sony WH-H800 are extremely obvious.

In addition, in terms of battery life, the Sony WH-H800 has a continuous playback time of approximately 24 hours, far surpassing competing products such as BOSE SoundLink II.

The more exclusive black technology of Sony WH-H800 lies in its support for the LDAC transmission protocol, which allows the headphones to transmit about 3 times the amount of data of ordinary Bluetooth under this protocol, reaching a maximum transmission speed of 990kbps, meeting the conditions for enjoying Hi-Res Audio music wirelessly and truly leveraging the sound quality advantages of Sony WH-H800.

You should know that since Android 8.0, Google has added support for the LDAC wireless audio transmission protocol at the system level. This means that in the future, new Android phones including Sony's, as well as smartphones that will be upgraded to Android 8.0, will become ideal playback devices for Sony WH-H800.

So, on the whole, the Sony WH-H800 is just such a wireless headphone that targets the mainstream market with a price range of 1,000-2,000 yuan, with high appearance, high sound quality, comfortable wearing, and equipped with Sony's black technologies including LDAC.

It is difficult to find another product in the current market that is affordable to the vast majority of ordinary users and that is relatively balanced in all aspects thanks to its appearance design and hardware advantages, so that trendy men and women can find their favorite color from it.

It is precisely because of this all-round balance that makes the Sony WH-H800 the most worthwhile wireless headphones to buy in 2017.
