Ready for some action

We get to know your preferences by asking the right questions. Below you can read more about the sort of questions you can expect. 

For which purposes do you intend to use the headphones?
For starters, it’s important to know for which purposes you are planning on using the headphones. Do you mainly use headphones to listen to your favourite hits, podcasts or audio books? Or to watch your all-time favourite movie? This requires other functionalities than when you often use your headphones to make phone calls. For frequent callers headphones with Environmental Noise Cancelling (ENC) microphones are a must. This technology reduces background noises, so you can make crystal clear phone calls. Do you want to be able to personalise sound to achieve the best sound experience? With our Elite series headphones, you can personalise sound to your hearing, so it delivers the best sound experience on all frequencies. 

In which situations do you want to use the headphones?
Good music helps improving your mood during many different activities. Do you for example use your headphones while working out, it’s important that they have a comfortable and sturdy fit. Listening to music while riding your bike? We advise you to buy headphones with Ambient Sound Mode, so you’ll stay aware of your surroundings. And pro tip: Wind Noise Cancelling makes sure you aren’t bothered by wind noises. All in all, outdoor and active activities require other features than listening to your favourite podcast on the train. 

How important is Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) to you?
Some of our headphones feature Active Noise Cancelling. A technology that reduces surrounding sounds, so you can listen in silence. Do you prefer listening in complete silence or do you want to keep in touch with your surroundings a bit more? 

Do you prefer over-ear or on-ear headphones?
Headphones come in two different designs: over-ear and on-ear. Like the name implies, over-ear headphones have larger ear cushions that completely enclose your ears. Whereas on-ear headphones are placed on your ear. The right fit for you depends on your preferences. Do you rather close off from the world entirely? Over-ear headphones reduce more noise, because they are placed over your ears. Besides that, if you want Noise Cancelling; only over-ear headphones offer this feature. Is this not your cup of tea and do you prefer staying aware of your surroundings a bit more? Compact on-ear headphones are the way to go!
