Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What’s the difference between over-ear and on-ear headphones?

Over-ear headphones fully cover your ears, providing better noise isolation and comfort for long listening sessions. On-ear headphones rest on top of your ears, which makes them lighter and more portable but with less noise isolation.

Are noise-canceling headphones worth it?

If you often find yourself in noisy environments, like commuting on a bus or working in a busy office, noise-canceling headphones can be a game-changer. They block out external noise, letting you focus on your music or work without distractions.

Is it illegal to drive with headphones in New Zealand?

In New Zealand, it’s not outright illegal to drive with headphones, but it’s generally not recommended. Wearing headphones can reduce your awareness of surrounding traffic and sounds, potentially increasing the risk of accidents.

Are wireless headphones safe?

Yes, wireless headphones are generally safe. They use Bluetooth technology, which emits low levels of non-ionizing radiation, similar to what mobile phones emit. This radiation is not harmful according to current research, and most models are designed with user safety in mind.

Can you connect Bluetooth headphones to Xbox One?

Unfortunately, Xbox One doesn’t natively support Bluetooth headphones. However, you can use third-party Bluetooth adapters to connect your wireless headphones to the console.

Do Bluetooth headphones have radiation?

Yes, Bluetooth headphones emit a small amount of non-ionizing radiation, but it’s much lower than that of a mobile phone. According to health experts, this level of radiation is safe and doesn’t pose any significant risk.

How do I turn on my Bluetooth headphones?

Typically, turning on Bluetooth headphones is as simple as holding down the power button for a few seconds until you see a light or hear a sound indicating they are powered on. Check your model’s manual for specific instructions.

How do noise-canceling headphones work?

Noise-canceling headphones use microphones to pick up external noise, and then they create sound waves that are the opposite (anti-phase) of that noise. This process cancels out the unwanted sound, allowing you to enjoy your music or calls without interference.

How to activate headphones in Windows 10?

To activate headphones in Windows 10, plug in the headphones and right-click the sound icon on your taskbar. Select "Open Sound settings," then choose your headphones under the output device dropdown menu. Make sure the volume is turned up, and your headphones are set as the default device.

How to balance headphones?

To balance your headphones, go to the sound settings on your device. On Windows, right-click the sound icon, select “Open Sound settings,” and choose "Device properties" under your headphones. You can adjust the left and right balance sliders there.

How to connect headphones to a guitar?

To connect headphones to a guitar, you’ll typically need an amplifier or an audio interface. Most electric guitars don’t have a headphone jack, so you’ll plug your guitar into the amp or interface, then connect your headphones to the output on that device.

How do I choose the best headphones for my needs?

First, decide where and how you’ll use them. For commuting, lightweight and wireless options might be best. For home listening or gaming, over-ear, high-quality headphones with superior sound might be the way to go. Our team at Mood is happy to help you make the right choice.

What are the best headphones for sound quality?

For top-tier sound quality, we recommend models from brands like Audio-Technica, Sennheiser, and Sony. These are known for their precision sound engineering and offer incredible clarity, balance, and deep bass.

How long does shipping take within New Zealand?

We offer fast shipping across New Zealand. Depending on your location, you can expect your headphones to arrive within 2–5 working days. We’re committed to getting your order to you as quickly as possible.

Can I return my headphones if I’m not happy with them?

Absolutely! We have a hassle-free returns policy, so if your new headphones don’t meet your expectations, you can return them within a set period for a refund or exchange. Check our returns page for more details.

Do wireless headphones have good battery life?

Yes, most of our wireless headphones offer excellent battery life, often lasting anywhere between 20 to 40 hours on a single charge, depending on the model. Plus, many come with quick-charge features for when you need a boost in a hurry.

What’s the warranty on your headphones?

The warranty varies by brand, but most of our headphones come with at least a 1-year warranty. This covers any manufacturing defects or issues that might arise during normal use. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any concerns about your purchase.
