How to choose headphones? We'll guide you on what (not) to stress about and what will really suit you
Choosing headphones today is quite the challenge. In-ear, over-ear, with ANC, wireless, for sports or home office – the options are endless. To keep you from getting lost, we’ve put together a guide with the most important factors to focus on when choosing headphones, plus tips on the best LAMAX headphones that sound great and look even better.
1. Which type of headphones suits you best?
🔹 Earbuds
Your best buddy for travel, school, or city life. They take up minimal space, offer a secure fit, and some even cancel out background noise. The LAMAX Dots3 ANC will amaze you with active noise cancelling (ANC), long battery life, and awesome sound – all in a pocket-sized package.
🔹 Over-ear headphones
If you're looking for comfort during long hours of listening – whether for work, studying, or relaxing – over-ear headphones are the way to go. Thanks to their large ear cushions that fully surround your ears, they provide excellent noise isolation and deep, rich sound. For more demanding listeners, we recommend the LAMAX NoiseComfort2 ANC – these headphones offer active noise cancelling (ANC), allowing you to fully immerse yourself in your music without distractions. With up to 50 hours of battery life on a single charge, they won’t let you down even on long trips or busy workdays.
🔹 Sports headphones
Looking for headphones that won’t fall out and can handle sweat? The LAMAX Clips1 Plus are ideal – they stay in place, sound great, and nothing can shake them. Want ANC too and a more rugged design? Then go for the LAMAX SteelClips1 ANC.
2. What do you use your headphones for?
For music and entertainment
If you spend hours listening to playlists or podcasts, you’ll want wireless headphones with long battery life. Try the LAMAX Dots3 ANC or the over-ear LAMAX NoiseComfort2 ANC – both offer great battery life, stable connection, and amazing sound whether you're at home or on the go.
For sport and movement
When running or working out, you don’t want to worry about whether your headphones will stay put. The Clips1 Plus Black or SteelClips1 ANC combine ergonomics and durability, keeping you going even in the gym or the rain.
For work and concentration
Need peace for work, online meetings, or studying? Headphones with active noise cancelling will help you stay focused. The NoiseComfort2 ANC headphones will literally block the outside world – whether you're in the office or at home.
3. What is ANC and why do you need it?
ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) is a technology that actively reduces surrounding noise. It’s perfect for noisy environments – public transport, open spaces, or a home full of kids. If you want to listen to music without distractions or simply enjoy silence, ANC is a must-have.

4. What else should you watch out for?
🔹 Battery life – choose headphones with at least 10 hours of battery. LAMAX models usually offer even more.
🔹 Sound quality – pay attention to range, codecs, and driver size. With LAMAX, you’re guaranteed clean sound and deep bass.
🔹 Comfort – headphones shouldn’t pinch or hurt. Over-ear models with soft ear cushions like the HighComfort2 ANC are top-tier.
🔹 Durability – if you’ll be using them for sports or outdoors, look for water and sweat resistance.
🔹 Controls – buttons, touch, or app control? Pick what works best for you.

Start by deciding what you’ll use the headphones for – and choose accordingly. Want peace and quiet? Go for ANC. Need freedom of movement? Pick earbuds. For long listening sessions and maximum comfort, over-ear models are ideal.
