Luckily, automatic play is one of LG’s Tone Studio headphones’ built-in features, along with several other cool features that make their new product worth checking out. The following will answer a few of your most pressing questions about the new headphones.

What’s the deal with having both earbuds and speakers?

Essentially, these are “headphones” that sit around your neck, so as to leave your ears free. The headphones come with four speakers. Two speakers, responsible for high and middle-range notes, are on top of the neckband, while the two bottom speakers are for the bass notes.

It might sound annoying to listen to neck speakers when you’re out in public, and the Tone Studio headphones have a remedy for that: you can pull out the connected earbuds from the neckband and use them like you would other headphones. Still, for those who may have trouble hearing or else find traditional headphones to be uncomfortable, these could be a great option at home for watching movies or listening to music.

Are they easy to use?

All you have to do is connect your headphones to a Bluetooth-enabled device to make the headphones start working. That’s all the setup; there’s nothing left to do. You can also connect the headphones easily to a laptop or other non-Bluetooth-enabled device with a 3.5mm cable and the Tone Studio jack. Using this physical connection also improves the sound quality.

OK, but how about the sound quality?

The sound quality is good, particularly for Bluetooth headphones. For those of you who buy headphones to drown out rackets, these headphones are for you. Some tech aficionados also suggest that the headphones do a fine imitation of surround sound.

Are there any issues with the sound quality?

Bass-lovers might take issue with the limited bass available with these headphones. If a thumping bass is what you’re looking for, you might not want to get personal speakers like these anyway.

How much will a pair of these headphones run me?

The latest version of Tone Studio headphones aren’t available yet, so the price for these headphones is still currently unknown. However, most sources suggest that the headphones will be priced from $220 to $240 when they’re released. LG suggests that they’ll be shipping out the first batch come March of this year.

<![CDATA[No Headphone Port? No Problem! We’ve Got You Covered]]> https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/no-headphone-port-no-problem-weve-got-covered/ Fri, 14 Oct 2016 13:40:01 +0000 https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/?p=4625 Several Android models without headphone jacks were announced this year. Within the next few years, we might all be using Android phones without headphone jacks. While that doesn’t necessarily mean we have to dispose of our favorite wired headphones (adaptors are available for these phones), going wireless might be an easier option. All of the headphones below will work with your Android phone. So, without further ado, here are the best Bluetooth wireless headphones available now.

Sennheiser Momentum 2 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones
These are among the best-rated wireless headphones currently available. The price ranges from about $380-$500. They are available in an over-ear version. Some of the features include active noise-cancellation, 22-hour battery life, 2 built-in microphones, and a 16Hz to 22kHz frequency response. The over-ear style will also make these headphones more comfortable for extended periods of time than many on-ear styles.

BÖHM Bluetooth Wireless B-66 Headphones
These headphones are stylish and functional. They are available in black and silver or gold and tan, and offer a premium sound quality for the price. You can currently snag them for about $85 on Amazon. They offer noise cancellation, an inline microphone, and an 18-hour battery life.

Bose SoundLink Wireless Over-Ear Headphones
These are a cheaper alternative to the Bose QuietComfort 35 wireless headphones, at about $229. They are comfortable, with quality sound, and include up 15 hours of battery life and a microphone for phone calls. Worth noting: it is easy to switch between Bluetooth devices while staying connected to your phone.

Skullcandy Hesh 2 Unleashed Over-Ear Headphones
This option is under $100 and is available in a variety of colors. It includes up to 15 hours of battery life, an over-ear design for increased comfort, a remote and microphone, and sound isolation.

Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless Headphones
These headphones offer a stylish, modern design and quality sound. They are over-ear and about $400 to purchase. Other perks: the battery lasts for up to 17 hours, they can be folded for ease of travel, and you can charge them from your laptop. A cheaper alternative, however, is the P5 model, which offers a similar experience for half the price.

Make Your Wired Headphones Wireless
If you don’t want to buy new headphones, or you love a particular brand or model of wired headphones and can’t part with them, you can also make your current headphones wireless. A quick search for Bluetooth receiver on Amazon, NewEgg, or your favorite online tech retailer will bring back a number of results. Most are small enough to now fit in your pocket and come with a headphone port, which will pick up the Bluetooth signal from your phone and send the audio to your headphones. Just make sure you look for a model that can hold a charge; some need to be wired to a power source to operate.

<![CDATA[How to Play Music As Soon As Your Headphones Are Plugged In]]> https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/play-music-soon-headphones-plugged/ Fri, 09 Sep 2016 22:01:47 +0000 https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/?p=3681 Do you want your music application to automatically launch before going on a run, for a quick escape through some tunes? Or do you want to plug your headphones into your phone after an exhausting day at work, without the hassle of opening the music app on your phone? No matter which music application you’re partial to, the following are some options on how to play your music instantly whenever you plug your headphones into your Android device.

Plug In Launcher by Craig Pretzel is a free download for Android that will allow you to launch a certain app whenever anything is plugged into the device. It is a simple app made specifically for this task. In addition to being able to launch the music player whenever you plug your headphones into your phone, you can also set other applications to launch whenever you plug the power cord, for example, into the device. Simply select “Power/USB” or “Headset,” and which application you want to launch, such as Google Play’s music app. You can even control whether or not a dialog is displayed every time you connect a cable.

Headphones Connect by Skytrait (also free to download) is another way to automatically launch your music app. You can also choose other apps to launch whenever you plug in your headphones, such as Netflix or Google Play Movies & TV, from a list of apps of your choosing. Once the app is installed on your device, you can turn off the constant Headphone Connect notification in Settings.

You can also instantly play music or other applications whenever Bluetooth headphones are connected to the device. Other perks include the option to delay tasks whenever performing an action, the ability to automatically adjust the volume whenever headphones are connected, or the ability to blacklist certain apps that may interfere with the app you’re currently using.

Another option is to download Tasker by Crafty Apps EU. This app is $2.99 to purchase, but has more to offer than Plug In Launcher or Headphones Connect — it is a total automation app. It is a good option if you want to further customize the tasks on your device, in addition to auto-starting your music app whenever headphones are plugged into the phone. Using Tasker can be slightly more complicated for those who aren’t tech-savvy, so be sure to look up a tutorial explaining the app if you think this is the right option for you.

While you are listening to your music, make sure you download PowerPRO by PSafe to help extend the life of your phone. More battery power means more time to rock out to your favorite tunes.
