Portable audio devices such as earphones and headphones are poised to become hotter through the next few years with online streaming services rising and exciting advancements in audio technologies rolled out.
Earphones and headphones from Global Sources Verified Suppliers reflect the three biggest trends the industry has today and those are:
1. Bluetooth 5.0 – The latest version of Bluetooth to date is now supported by many earphone and headphone models, as seen from exhibitors at the recently concluded Global Sources Consumer Electronics show and on GlobalSources.com. It promises faster speed up to 2Mbps and broader range, which is up to 800ft, many times better compared to previous Bluetooth versions. Bluetooth 5.0 also allows a pair of devices to connect to one audio device at once.
2. True Wireless Stereo – Gone are the days when "wireless" meant just detached from a smartphone but still a physical wire connecting both earbuds is present. Releases nowadays have no visible wires connecting them at all.
3. Longer playing time – In wireless earphones and headphones, from five hours to less than 10 before, now working time canreach 10 hours or more. The secret is bigger battery capacity, which is nearly what small power banks pack today – 2,000 to 3,000mAh, and charging via the case. Headphone jack fans could now possibly switch to wireless audio devices in the near future as battery life improves even more.
