It is dif­fi­cult to imag­ine a mod­ern per­son who would com­plete­ly do with­out head­phones. If ear­li­er they were used only for lis­ten­ing to music, now they can be used to lis­ten to audio books, lis­ten to webi­na­rs and watch pod­casts, as well as talk on the phone if the device has a micro­phone. You can’t do with­out them when work­ing remote­ly, as well as at webi­na­rs and video con­fer­ences.

If you do not make very high demands on sound qual­i­ty, or if you lis­ten main­ly to speech record­ings, there is no point in spend­ing mon­ey on buy­ing expen­sive head­phones. You can sim­ply choose the best option from the bud­get seg­ment, which is not too infe­ri­or to expen­sive mod­els. The edi­tors of Kom­so­mol­skaya Prav­da have com­piled their own rat­ing of bud­get wired head­phones for those music lovers who do not want to depend on the capac­i­ty of the bat­tery and the out­let. The choice is based on the fact that wired in-ear head­phones are the cheap­est com­pared to full-size ones, in addi­tion, the com­par­i­son of these two types of devices will not be cor­rect.

Sennheiser CX 175

Head­phones are made in a min­i­mal­ist design, and the basis is high-qual­i­ty plas­tic. Thanks to soft over­lays, they take the form of an auri­cle and do not fall out while walk­ing or jog­ging. Due to the L‑shaped plug, there are no creas­es in the wire. The cable length is 1.2 meters, which is enough to use the head­phones com­fort­ably.

Top 10 best budget headphones in 2022 according to KP

1.Creative EP-630

Minia­ture and light­weight head­phones, weigh­ing only 9 grams, do not take up much space in your pock­et or bag. Despite their sim­ple and con­cise design, they have good per­for­mance.

The opti­mal cord length of 1.2 m ensures com­fort­able use. The sen­si­tiv­i­ty of the head­phones is enhanced by the use of neodymi­um mag­nets (increase the sen­si­tiv­i­ty of the head­phones and pro­vide bet­ter sound qual­i­ty) and is 106 dB at a max­i­mum repro­ducible fre­quen­cy: 23000 Hz. Anoth­er dis­tin­guish­ing fea­ture is the pres­ence of noise reduc­tion, which makes lis­ten­ing even more com­fort­able.

How to choose budget headphones

When choos­ing bud­get wired head­phones, there are not many cri­te­ria, since the func­tion­al­i­ty of such devices is very lim­it­ed. And yet there are some para­me­ters that are bet­ter to con­sid­er when buy­ing.

• Man­u­fac­tur­er. It does not mat­ter in which coun­try the head­phones were assem­bled, as even the most famous man­u­fac­tur­ers often open fac­to­ries where it is more eco­nom­i­cal. But the name of the man­u­fac­tur­er is still impor­tant, it is bet­ter that it be at least well known. Then there is at least some guar­an­tee of qual­i­ty, because well-known man­u­fac­tur­ers val­ue their rep­u­ta­tion. In addi­tion, well-known com­pa­nies have bet­ter qual­i­ty con­trol than non-name ones.
• The weight. For some, this para­me­ter will be unim­por­tant, but for some­one fun­da­men­tal. There are those who are not com­fort­able with feel­ing a sig­nif­i­cant weight in their ears for a long time. In this case, it is bet­ter to pay atten­tion to small mod­els with a min­i­mum weight.
• Ear pads. Even among bud­get head­phones, you can find mod­els that come with sev­er­al types of ear cush­ions. This is a great advan­tage, because among them there will def­i­nite­ly be those that fit the size of the auri­cle per­fect­ly and will not pop out with every move­ment.
• Sen­si­tiv­i­ty. It is bet­ter to choose mod­els in which this para­me­ter is high­er. Then the sound will be loud­er and bet­ter.
• Con­nec­tion type. Among wired head­phones, there are sev­er­al options: 3.5 Jack-con­nec­tor, USB Type‑C and Light­ning on Apple devices. You need to choose the one that suits your device. Some­times head­phones are sold with adapters, then they are suit­able for any con­nec­tor.
• Length and type of wire. The com­fort of using head­phones depends on this. Too long a wire will get in the way and get tan­gled in out­er­wear, bags and scarves. And too short may not reach, then the “ears” will pop out all the time. And the wire itself should not be too thin, oth­er­wise, after the first entan­gle­ment, inter­nal breaks and fail­ure are pos­si­ble. The most reli­able is a dense twist­ed wire or light­ning wire.

Imme­di­ate­ly after pur­chase, you need to check the head­phones. Is there sound, how good is it, is there hiss and hiss, is the con­nec­tion loose. If ini­tial­ly there are no prob­lems, and the device is oper­at­ed care­ful­ly, most like­ly even bud­get head­phones will last a long time.
