A headset makes it easier

February 10, 2021

Demonstrating a technique in front of a screen requires special concentration - talking while moving is a fine art. In addition, there is the distance to the microphone. If you set up your smartphone more than a meter away from you during a live class, your students will find it difficult to understand what you are saying. In order to keep the quality of audio high, you should use a headset.

Headset or In-Ear

This depends on your movement intensity and also on your ears. In-ear headphones work great if they fit into your ear really well. And that doesn't just depend on the price. Some ear shapes are just not suitable for using "in-ear headphones". In this case, even the most expensive models would be a bad choice. If in-ear headphones fit into your ears well, I recommend that you look for models in the upper price range. Make sure that a microphone is built in into the in-ear headphones. Some manufacturers such as "Aukey" offer special fitness models in which the right and left headphones can be charged independently. So you don't need to worry if you have two live classes in a row and have no charger nearby.

If you prefer a classic headset for your live classes, you will have a wide range of choices. The design of the headset is a decisive factor for your comfort. The neckband plays a special role in this. If you are in motion, the neckband also moves. To avoid uncomfortable friction, you should try out the headset thoroughly before deciding on a model. Feel free to try out high-quality devices such as the "AfterShokz Trekz Air Open Ear". It weighs only 30 grams and covers the ears very gently. Thanks to its patented sound pick-up technology, the sound quality is excellent. A headset with Bluetooth is more convenient than one with a cable. However, pay attention to the time in use. The headset should work for at least four hours on one charge.

Connecting to the app

Connect the headset or in-ear headphones to your smartphone in exactly the same way as you would with any other Bluetooth devices. If you prefer to use a headset with a cable, then the connector must match your smartphone jack. Newer iPhones, for example, only provide the Lightning connector for external devices. Regardless of the type of connection you use, the liilix app will automatically recognise the connected device. You can start your live session as usual and use the headset or in-ear headphones right away. By the way, if you want to mute the microphone during a live class, then this function should be available directly on the device.
