What do Salnotes Zero and The Room have in common? Right: They are both super cheaply produced. The Room is now cult. And the salnuts? Not yet, but it could be soon.
Than the wired headphones are currently the absolute bestseller on Amazon for a reason in the field of musical instruments and DJ equipment. They are developed by audio expert and Youtuber Crinacle. The crazy thing about it: Despite the expertise that goes into the headphones, the Salnotes Zero costs only 28.99 euros:
Headphones for less than 30 euros: the Salnotes Zero can do that
The small headphones score above all with a very detailed reproduction of the ambient sound, which is especially evident in gaming. Shooter fans, for example, will really enjoy the Salnotes thanks to the accurate tracking of steps.
So if you don’t just watch movies and series, but are also not averse to a well-groomed game night for the console, then the Salnotes Zero are worth a look. For example, you can simply plug the headphone jack into the corresponding jack on the Playstation 5 controller.
Audiophile music lovers will appreciate the sound quality of these inexpensive headphones. The sound is balanced, the bass is kept neutral, but could be a bit more powerful for some.
Fans of action may need to look elsewhere. But where? After all, the quality of the Salnotes Zero is almost unparalleled in this price range, partly due to their replaceable cable and various rubber attachments for optimal comfort.
The best alternatives to the Salnotes Zero: Sony and Jabra
A slightly more expensive but good alternative to the Salnotes Zero is the Jabra Elite 3, which offers significantly more bass and is designed as true wireless headphones without the clutter of cables. It is only understandable that you eventually have to dig a little deeper into your pockets: Amazon is currently offering the ear studs with a 28 percent discount for 57.62 euros.
Thanks to the IP55 certification, you can use the Elite 3 on the road and even in the rain. The battery lasts about seven hours and can be charged four times with the charging case before you have to look for a power source again. You connect the Jabra Elite 3 to your TV via Bluetooth.
A perennial favorite among Bluetooth headphones is Sony’s WH-1000XM4, which have active noise cancellation and are not only comfortable to wear, but also offer great sound quality. This makes them perfect for movie fans with higher demands on the sound. Amazon is now offering 25 percent off the suggested retail price and has the XM4 on sale for $284.99.
Thanks to the Bluetooth function, these over-ear headphones can also be used on the go and they look pretty chic too. There is already a successor to Sony with the XM5. However, they are significantly higher in price. You have to decide for yourself whether the extra cost is worth it to you.
