Ama-headphone angaphakathi kwendlebe athandwa kakhulu ngenxa yokuthi aphatheka kalula, kodwa uma uthatha umsindo ngokungathi sína, ama-headphone angaphandle kwendlebe amahle kakhulu kulolu hlu ayindlela efanele.

Ama-headphone amakhulu angaba nezishayeli ezinkulu ezingcono kakhulu ekuletheni umsindo omkhulu, we-bassier ngokwemvelo. Azingenisi ezindlebeni zakho ngokungakhululekile noma zenze kuzwakale sengathi izingoma zakho ozithandayo zifakwa ngqo ku-cerebral cortex yakho. Kunalokho, uma zingcono kakhulu, zifana nokugqoka ama-earmuff athambile nokulalela ukudlala kwebhendi bukhoma okwenzelwe wena.

Lokho kuzwakala kukuhle, akunjalo? Kodwa yimaphi ama-headphone angaphezulu kwendlebe okufanele uwathenge? Usenesikhathi nje sokuthola ulwazi.

I-Black Friday 2019 isondela ngokushesha. Hlala ubheke ikhasi lethu lamadili ama-headphone e-Black Friday ukuze uthole okunikezwayo kwakamuva kuma-headphone angaphakathi, angaphandle, angenantambo kanye navala umsindo. Uma usukulungele ukuthenga namuhla, ithuluzi lethu lokuqhathanisa amanani ngezansi liqoqe amanani amanje amnandi kakhulu ongawasebenzisa namuhla.

Uma ufuna indlela emfushane yokuthola ama-headphone angcono kakhulu ongawathenga, kunezindlela ezimbili ezihlukene kakhulu ongazisebenzisa – ubuchwepheshe obuphezulu noma obudala.

Inketho yobuchwepheshe obuphezulu ama-headphone e-Sony WH-1000XM3. Lawa ama-headphone angenantambo, avaliwe, akhansela umsindo azwakala emuhle futhi afaneleka kuzo zonke izimo kanye nokuthambekela kwe-sonic.

Uhlangothi lwakudala lumbozwe amathini e-Grado SR325e. Anezintambo, avulekile ngemuva futhi athuthuke kakhulu kwezobuchwepheshe njengegitare ye-acoustic, lawa ma-headphone enzelwe abathandi be-hi-fi abalalela ekhaya. Kodwa yize ama-Grado enemingcele ethile, anekhono elimangalisayo ngendlela okungekho buchwepheshe obungayiphinda.

Into yokuqala okudingeka uyinqume lapho ufuna ama-headphone amasha angena ezindlebeni (uma usunqume isabelomali) ukuthi ufuna ukusebenzisa izintambo ezingenantambo noma uyajabula ukusebenzisa izintambo. Imakethe ibheke kakhulu ohlangothini olungenantambo - hhayi nje kuphela ukuthi ama-wireless pair manje ayanda kakhulu kunentshebe ekhonsathini ye-Rush, amafoni manje asewumthombo oyinhloko wokulalela umculo futhi amaningi awo awasenazo ngisho nezimbobo zama-headphone.

Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi ama-headphone angenantambo manje angathengwa ngemali efanelekile, kodwa kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi kokubili ikhwalithi yomsindo ongenantambo kanye nokuphila kwebhethri kungahluka kakhulu. Ukufuna i-pair enenguqulo yakamuva ye-Bluetooth (i-5.0 iyindlela yakamuva kakhulu, etholakala kabanzi) kungasiza kuzo zombili izici, kodwa akusona isiqinisekiso. Futhi uma ungathola i-pair ene-aptX codec egxile kumsindo, uyazi ukuthi ikhwalithi yomsindo okungenani ibe yisici ekwakhiweni.

Uma usebenzisa izintambo, akudingeki ukhathazeke ngama-gizmos nama-thingamajigs futhi ungazikhathaza ngezinto ezibonakalayo njengobude nobukhulu bekhebula, nokuthi ngabe isixhumi siwuhlobo oluvame kakhulu lwe-3.5mm oluthola efonini noma uhlobo oluncane kakhulu, oluqondene kakhulu ne-hi-fi lwe-6.3mm. Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi ama-hi-fi pair aphezulu avame ukufaka i-adaptha, yize ukuthenga eyodwa ngokwehlukana kungeke kukubize kakhulu.

Enye into enkulu okufanele uyicabangele ukuthi ufuna ama-headphone avulekile noma avaliwe. Amamodeli avaliwe asevame kakhulu manje, njengoba egcina umsindo uvalwe kakhulu noma ungagcini nje endlebeni yakho, kuyilapho ama-headphone avulekile ngokuvamile evuza umsindo owanele kangangokuthi noma ubani oseduze angazizwa sengathi ulalele umsakazo omncane kakhulu emhlabeni, okusobala ukuthi awufanele ibhasi. Kodwa ama-headphone avulekile nawo ngokuvamile azwakala evulekile futhi evulekile - njengokulalela kakhulu i-hi-fi enkulu kunabashayeli ababili abancane ababoshiwe ekhanda lakho - ngakho-ke uma udinga ukulalela buthule kodwa hhayi buthule, futhi uthathe injabulo yakho yomculo ngokungathi sína, angaba yindlela okufanele uhambe ngayo.

Amathini okukhansela umsindo esizukulwane sesithathu se-Sony amangalisa kakhulu. Awagcini nje ngokuvimbela umsindo omkhulu kunanoma yimuphi umbangi, kodwa futhi azwakala kangcono, ngenxa yokwethulwa kokukhulisa umsindo kwe-analogue.

Kukhona uhlelo lokusebenza ongalusebenzisa ukulungisa inani lokukhansela umsindo elinikeziwe, kusukela ku-'Angifuni ukuzwa lutho ngaphandle kokushaya kwenhliziyo yami' kuya ku-'Ngingathanda ukwazi ukuthi imoto izongishaya yini', futhi ungasetha ngisho nama-headphone ukuze avumelanise ukukhansela umsindo nendawo.

Impilo yebhethri ephelele isho ukuthi ngisho nezindiza ezinde kakhulu zokuhamba ibanga elide ziyambozwa, futhi umsindo ungalungiselelwa ukuphakama, okuqinisekisa ukuthi uhlala uthola ikhwalithi engcono kakhulu. Inkinga encane kuphela ukuthi izilawuli zokuthinta zingathatha isikhathi ukujwayela, yize zinembile impela uma usuzijwayele.

Ama-325e avulekile ngemuva futhi anomsindo ovuzayo njengesihlungo esivuza amanzi, ngakho-ke awafaneleki nhlobo ukusetshenziswa esitimeleni noma ebhasini, kodwa lokho kuwavumela ukuthi alethe umsindo ovulekile ngempela, opholile futhi ovulekile ofana kakhulu nokulalela izikhulumi ezimbili ezinhle ze-hi-fi.

Futhi sikhuluma kahle kakhulu. Umsindo lapha ucacile, unemininingwane, unesigqi futhi uyakhazimula impela. Uma uwuthatha ngokungathi sína umculo wakho owulalelayo, nansi into okufanele uyithole.

Zimbalwa izinkampani ezingazigqaja ngefa le-hi-fi le-Bowers & Wilkins likaWorthing, ngakho-ke noma yimuphi umkhiqizo omusha we-B&W ufanele ukujatshuliswa.

Le Bluetooth entsha ye-aptX Adaptive ivumela ukudluliswa okungenantambo komculo we-hi-res futhi inciphisa ukubambezeleka ukuze umsindo nevidiyo kuhambisane kahle - kuhle kakhulu uma uphequlula amavidiyo omculo ku-YouTube. Kukhona amazinga amathathu okukhansela umsindo, ngakho akudingeki uvale konke uma ungafuni.

I-icing ekhekheni inomsindo omuhle kakhulu. Iqinile, iyashesha futhi iyahlaba njenganoma yini enye, iyisinqumo esihle kakhulu sokuyishaya kancane, kodwa futhi inemininingwane nokunambitheka kwalezo zikhathi ezithambile ze-acoustic. Ngaphandle kwentengo ephezulu kanye nokuntuleka kokugoqwa, lawa ma-B&W amangalisa nje.

Uma ufuna ama-headphone aqinile ngesabelomali esincane, ama-AKG K72 angaba alungele wena. Lawa mathini alula, amakhulu, anezintambo akhelwe induduzo nokuphila isikhathi eside - ungawagqoka usuku lonke nsuku zonke futhi awasoze acasule futhi awaphuki. I-AKG empeleni igoba ikhebula izikhathi ezingu-80,000 ukuqinisekisa ukuthi lihlala isikhathi eside ngangokunokwenzeka.
