Some people are pretty happy with wireless. There are some people that continue to choose wired headsets though. There are some positives if you have a Google Nexus One phone when you choose wired headsets. It is important to recognize that your particular choice of wired headsets will determine how much benefit you realize. There are some basic considerations that you can look for though.

Bud or Cup

Yes there are wired headsets with cup designs available for the Google Nexus One. You may have experienced a more satisfying listening experience with cup headphones at some point in the past. It is true that cup headphones can provide an immersive quality.

Bud design wired headsets also offer a number of benefits. Some people prefer the lightweight and the more discreet appearance that they offer. These qualities are further complimented by the direct location of the speaker. This allows for lower volumes that may be less disruptive to those around you.

There are options for each that work with the Google Nexus One. In fact, nearly all 3.5mm wired headsets are compatible. You should check the details in your documentation though. Not all 3.5mm wired headsets take advantage of the sound-canceling technology that the Google Nexus One offers though.

Inline Microphone

An inline microphone in your wired headsets allows the Google Nexus One to perform yet another function that it is made to provide.

Not all headsets offer this. Selecting one that does may allow your Google Nexus One to work better.

Stereo or Solo

With all of the video and music capability that your phone offers you may find that it is more than worth it to get the extra bud.

Style and Pricing
