Comparison Hoco E63 vs Hoco E36

A device designed to fix the device on the auricle; most often represents a signature shackle. Such a shackle is very popular among Bluetooth headsets — this is the easiest way to hold a relatively large device on your ear. At the same time, ultra-compact models can be fixed directly in the ear and do not need a behind-the-ear hook. And for car kits and speakerphones (see "Device"), such a mount is not required.

Note that the shackle is most often made swivel, which allows you to reposition it from the left to the right ear and vice versa.

— Mini-Jack (3.5 mm). Mini-Jack is one of the most popular wired connectors. However, it is not used in Bluetooth headsets, and it is extremely rare in other specialized accessories and predominantly is an auxiliary feature. So, in speakerphones, mini-Jack is usually responsible for connecting several devices to each other, and in car kits, for outputting sound to the radio or standard car acoustics. Note that in this case, the headphone jack is not considered a 3.5 mm jack, although it is most often performed in this format.

— USB A. The classic USB A computer connector, which is gradually being replaced by the USB-C connector. The meaning and application of this connection depends on the type of device. So, USB in speakerphones is a standard port for wired connection — both to computers and to specialized communication systems. And in Bluetooth headsets, this means that it is equipped with a USB adapter for connecting to a PC without a Bluetooth module.

— USB-C. A port similar in purpose to the one described above, but with a different, more modern, symmetrical shape that does not require specific connection, and correspondingly increased speeds.

— Bluetooth. Nowadays, Bluetooth is actually the standard interface for wirelessly connecting headsets and other audio accessories to gadgets. This technology is not only well suited for audio tra...nsmission, but can also be used for additional functions such as remote control. Features vary by version, the latest being Bluetooth v5. The communication range in this case can reach 10 m, and built-in Bluetooth modules are available in all modern smartphones, most phones, tablets and laptops, they can also be used in PCs and many other types of gadgets.

Time of operation of the self-powered device (see "Power") on one battery charge.

Usually, the battery life in the talk mode is meant, when the device consumes the most energy. In headsets with high-capacity batteries, this battery life can be 9 hours or more. However, talking for several hours without pauses is almost impossible, so in fact the operating time is noticeably longer than in the specifications. So, a headset with an operating time of the same 9 hours is most likely quite enough for a 12-hour work shift, even if you have to constantly make calls through it; and if we are talking about only 5 – 6 calls per day, then the charge is guaranteed to last for several days, or even a week. At the same time, the difference in the claimed operating time is usually quite consistent with the difference in actual battery life, and it is quite possible to compare the real capabilities of different models by it.

The time it takes to fully charge the battery in powered headsets.

In this case, we mean the time it takes to charge the battery from 0 to 100% when using a standard charger (or a third-party charger with identical specs). Accordingly, this indicator may differ from the stated one, depending on the specifics of the situation. However, it is quite possible to evaluate different models using it, compare them with each other and choose a headset with fast charging.

We also note that increasing the battery capacity inevitably implies an increase in charging time. To compensate for this point, special fast charging technologies can be used. However, they affect the cost and require the use of specialized chargers.

You can change the ear hook that is used to attach the Bluetooth headset to the ear. This feature allows you to adjust the device to the features of the auricle, which is especially necessary for people with a non-standard size or shape of the ears. Usually spare temples are included in the package, and if necessary, they can be purchased separately.
