DESIGN AND DIMENSIONS ARCTIC Sound P253 BT
Product Type Headset - Bluetooth - wireless
Weight 71 g Better than 81 % of headphones rated.
Recommended Use Portable electronics
Bluetooth Range (Operating Distance) 20 m Better than 52 % of headphones rated.

​​The ARCTIC Sound P253 BT are wireless headphones. The wireless connection allows absolute freedom of movement and with that increases the comfort of using the headphones. This feature is very popular, especially when using headphones every day. The limiting factor of wireless headphones is a certain delay in the sound transmission between the source and the headphones (almost indistinguishable for a normal user), as well as the need to charge them (in the case of wired headphones, the headphones are recharged by connecting the cable itself). The technology used for the sound transmission used by the headphones is Bluetooth 3.0 EDR. The maximum range of the headphones is up to 20 m. This range represents the distance from the sound source at which the headphones with wireless sound transmission can be used. However, the maximum range may be affected by obstacles such as walls or people, etc. The weight of the headphones is 71 g.

Bluetooth Version Bluetooth 3.0 EDR Worse than 75 % of headphones rated.

Diaphragm 28 mm Worse than 92 % of headphones rated.

The sound quality can be affected by many factors. When it comes to frequency range, the wider it is, the more detail you will hear when listening. However, the range a person can perceive is highly individual. The average person is able to perceive frequencies in the range of 16 to 20 000 Hz. So the most common frequency range you will see on the market is 20 to 20,000 Hz. Lower frequencies up to approximately 256 Hz are considered bass frequencies. Therefore, the lower the bottom value is, the better the headphones will reproduce bass. Conversely, values from approximately 2 048 Hz upwards are treble. That is why headphones with a high upper value will provide a much more accurate reproduction of high notes. ARCTIC Sound P253 BT offers a frequency range of 18 - 22000 Hz.

An important part of these headphones is the diaphragm, which, simply put, converts the electrical signal into a sound. The thin diaphragm that is around 6 mm thick can react quickly to changes in the audio signal and improves high-frequency listening. However, it is less sensitive to bass. The medium-thick diaphragm of around 10 mm provides a fairly balanced sound profile, allowing you to enjoy both bass and treble. A thicker diaphragm of around 20 mm cannot react so quickly to changes in the sound signal, thus impairing bass listening. However, it is more sensitive to higher frequencies. This model features the 28 mm.

MICROPHONE ARCTIC Sound P253 BT
Microphone Operation Mode Omni-directional
Sensitivity -42 dB

The microphone sensitivity is -42 dB. A lower microphone sensitivity will generally ensure that even quieter sounds are caught. On the other hand, in noisier environments, distortion of the recording may occur. With a higher sensitivity, the microphone will not distort the recording even in noisy environments. On the other hand, the microphone will not pick up quieter sounds. So it depends on the environment and the purposes you plan to use the headphones for.

BATTERY AND CHARGING ARCTIC Sound P253 BT
Battery Type Headset battery rechargeable - Lithium Ion
Battery Capacity 400 mAh Worse than 55 % of headphones rated.
Battery Life 30 hour(s) Better than 86 % of headphones rated.
Standby Time 400 hours Better than 86 % of headphones rated.

These headphones have a battery capacity of 400 mAh. In terms of headphone battery life as a significant factor in the purchase decision, it depends on what you want to use the headphones for and potentially how often you will be able to recharge them. Headphones with up to a few hours of battery life are more suitable for home use as they will require more frequent charging. Headphones with a battery life of around 10 hours or more are already more suitable for commuting and shorter journeys. However, nowadays you can also find headphones on the market that have a battery life in the higher tens to hundreds of hours. In this case, you do not have to worry about your headphones simply running out of power on longer journeys, and you will not have to deal with constant recharging. The battery life of the ARCTIC Sound P253 BT reaches up to 30 hour(s).

The standby battery life quoted by the manufacturer is 400 hours.
