3 recommended wired earphones that are secretly popular.I will also introduce the points of how to choose

I am also a wired lover.

While high -performance wireless earphones such as active noikan and sleep white noise gain popularity, the return to wired earphones has become another trend.There is no need for pairing or charging, and there is little worry about loss because it has a string, so the simplicity that can be used easily when you come up is a popular factor.This time, Wirecutter, which has been testing a number of earphones, will introduce the unique charm and recommended products!

In 2016, the earphone jack disappeared from the iPhone.To be honest, I remember being appalled.However, I am not dissatisfied with the wireless earphone.It is a feeling of liberation unique to wireless to be able to enjoy music freely while jogging or doing housework or work.

But I also love wired.Depending on the sound source 3.It's lightly irritated to use 5mm and Lightning, or use a conversion adapter.

There seems to be surprisingly many people like me, and the wired earphones are hot again now.It does not require charging and the sound is good for the price, and it is environmentally friendly and lasts longer.It's a good thing.There are many Tiktok creators who use inline -oriented microphones that do not require a setup, and when they are featured in the media for young people or lower their cables from their ears, they feel like "I'm in my own world."A wired earphone that brings out the "coolness that goes around".While showing the commitment that "it will not be washed away", it is a very reasonable option, which is a very rare trend.

However, some say, "I don't know what to choose based on because the functions are limited."but it's okay.I have been testing a lot of headphones so far.Even if the times and trends move, what really good is the same.So, here are some really wonderful earphones and how to choose them.

How to choose a wired earphone

・ Fit

First of all, the important element is a fit.In fact, this greatly affects the sound.In the Wirecutter test, most people can come across the size that suits them, but there are no earphones that fit everyone in reality.。If the attached chip does not fit your ears, try replacing the replacement chip before buying a new earphone.There may be dramatic changes by replacing the material and shape chip that suits your ears.

・ Necessary and sufficient remote control

If you want to use everyday in various situations, such as calling or video shooting, it is better to have a remote control with at least one button and a microphone.The recommended product this time has excellent microphones, and the voice is not broken or blurred.By the way, when using an earphone microphone for video shooting, don't forget to open the distance between the face and the microphone about 15cm.By doing so, the voice can be reduced, and the background noise can be reduced while avoiding pop noise (noise due to bursting sounds like “B” or “P”).

・ Earphone life, sound quality

And above all, the sound quality of the earphones is life!Earphones are for enjoying music and audio.The bass should not be larger than the lead guitar, and the consonant of the vocal should not be pierced.The base sound is important for pitch and tone, and it is useless just to sound monotonously.The sound should not be mixed in a small beat.

・ The reliability of the manufacturer and after -sales service

I want to use high -quality earphones on a yearly basis, so the manufacturer should be a reliable company.It would be nice if you could use it without any problems, but if there is a problem, it will be troublesome if the customer service does not respond to the needs.

• versatility

If you use it on your iPhone or iPad, the Lightning cable earphones are convenient, but that doesn't work with other sound sources.3.There is a conversion adapter from 5 mm to Lightning (some charging), but from Lightning 3.There is no input adapter to 5mm.In other words, earphones specialized in devices are difficult to use.The most general -purpose connector is 3.5mm, then USB-C.By the way, I'm 3.We use 5 mm earphones, connect the adapter as needed, and use the pill case to the key chain with earplugs when not in use.

There are many wonderful models of wired earphones (manufacturers are called "inside hons"), so if you really want to make it extremely, you should buy high -performance products, but for the first time, my lifestyle is my lifestyle.We recommend a reasonable price that suits you.

Panasonic RP-TCM series

The best reasonable earphone.The RP-TCM series is both reasonable price and excellent sound.A single button remote control and microphone are included.

If you want to get a reasonable and high-quality sound as possible, Panasonic RP-TCM is definitely recommended.The balance between airy and mellow treble and bass that is not too claimed while having a presence is the best.All frequencies are harmonious and resonate with any sound, from acoustic guitars to hip -hop and rock music.This is quite rare at a price of less than $ 30 (about 3,450 yen).

In this product, the bass quality such as "the depth of field (the sound is not a flat wall", but the space emitted from all over the space) "and the low -pitched quality such as the Marshall Mode can be tasted, but the cospa is sufficient.There is also an option to equip a single button remote control/microphone on the cable, and there are plenty of color varieties.

Marshall Mode

Remote control and microphone evolve.Marshall Mode earphones can enjoy a rich, balanced and well -balanced sound.The fit is outstanding and comfortable.Comes with a button universal remote control.

Marshall Mode has a smooth sound profile and supports any style of music.Above all, the specialty is rock and pop.The bass is slightly stronger, but there is no unpleasant "dosun" feeling or blurred impression.The treble is also clear, but there is no kinkin sound that tends to be pierced in earphones that are less than $ 100 (about 11,500 yen).The earphone body is also a comfortable slim design, and does not protrude or hang out of the ear.The cable has a single button universal remote control, so you can operate such as regeneration and digital assistant.The independent microphone is in the high position of the cable, so you don't need to put it on your mouth when speaking.

Strauss & Wagner EM205

With a remote control that can adjust the volume.The EM205 is an affordable earphone with a volume adjustment button, an excellent sound, and an option with a USB-C cable.

If you are looking for a reasonable price wired earphone with 3 button remote control and microphone, please pay attention to Strauss & Wagner EM205.Although it is higher than Panasonic products, truck operations and volume control functions function on most devices with headphone jacks.The sound and microphone quality are equivalent to Panasonic, but the bass boost and treble are slightly stronger, you can feel a slightly metallic edge on the stringed instrument, and you can hear the sound of the piano keyboard.

The sound is very good, but considering the cospa of Panasonic, it seems that there is no difference in spending extra money.3.Some products are equipped with a USB-C connector instead of 5 mm jacks, but it will be more than $ 10 (about 1,100 yen).

By the way, Strauss & Wagner is a new company and has no successful customer service.However, there may not be many people who are looking for an earphone of less than $ 50.It is still difficult to obtain in Japan, so if you are interested, please check out the company's site (English).
