5 Headphone Features your Customers are Really Looking For

Manish Kushwah
Knowing what your customers are looking for is an essential part of any business. You don’t want to invest in products people don’t want. Headphones are one of those things that everyone needs at some point and so they are a safe bet for eCommerce. With that said, there’s a lot of variety to headphones.

1. Wireless Features

Wireless headphones are available in all different shapes and sizes. Wireless headphones are great for outdoor use and sports in particular because there are no wires to get in the way when users are moving about. Rather, they use wireless technology to connect to a music player to give ultimate freedom of movement.

2. Noise Cancelling

Noise cancellation comes in two main varieties; active and passive. Active noise cancelling headphones have a small microphone inside them. This microphone assesses the noise around the headphones and generates an opposite soundwave to effectively “cancel out” the other noises so users can’t hear them.

3. Water-Resistance and Waterproofing

Water-resistant/waterproof headphones are also designed for active people and can be good for those who live in areas that get a lot of rain. They are designed to prevent sweat and water from getting in and messing with the delicate electronics in the headphones. No need to wipe down headphones and keep them dry when they can’t get hurt by being wet.

4. Voice Assistant Connection

Many people use some kind of voice assistant these days, whether it be Alexa, Echo, or Cortana. Voice assistant headphones allow users to connect to their voice assistants and control music, get answers, and check messages using their headphones. There are some headphones that are built with those voice assistants programmed.

5. Microphones and In-Line Controls

Built-in microphones on headphones allow users to take calls and issue voice commands while wearing their headphones. The location, controls, and overall quality of life of the microphone varies by different makes and models. There are the standard headsets that have a boom mic good for game conversations and VOIP calls.

Summary

Selling to customers means catering to their needs and delivering a product that does the things they want. These features are all sought after by people interested in headphones so look to stock headphones that offer things like in-line controls, voice assistant connection, noise cancellation, and water resistance.
