Many people spend a lot of time outdoors especially while traveling and in public places where there is a lot of noise. They wish to keep themselves entertained listening to music. In other cases, they may receive or make phone calls. The environmental noise will make it difficult to hear the music or the person they are talking to on the phone clearly. In this case, it is better to wear headphones with a noise cancellation feature, so that they can hear clearly even when outdoors. Many buyers would like to know where to shop headphones in Singapore, and the right answer depends on a number of factors which are discussed below.
Usage
If the person buying the headphones has not used or purchased headphones earlier, it is better to purchase the headphones offline in a local electronics or gadget store. The store will usually have experienced staff who are familiar with the various types of headphones which are available in the market, prices, and the applications for which the headphone is used. The staff at the store will be able to advise the buyer on the right type of headphone for him, after considering the buyer’s budget as well as the buyer profile. The buyer can also check the sound quality for a headphone before making payment.
Online
If the headphone buyer has purchased several headphones earlier, he will be familiar with the specifications and brands of headphones available in the market. In some cases, the existing headphone is damaged, so the buyer wants a replacement for the headphone. If he was happy with the sound quality and price of the headphone, he would usually want to purchase a headphone of the same model number and brand again. Hence he will want to compare the prices online for the headphone and then get the best deal. The buyer should check the reputation of the seller and website before placing the online order.
Since some online shopping websites are committing fraud, not delivering or not supplying genuine, high quality products, many online shoppers are preferring to purchase the headphones only from reputed websites. In the case of headphones, the buyer has to be careful while ordering online, since poor quality headphones can cause headaches, loss of hearing. So though some websites may list low priced headphones for sale online, if the website is new, it is advisable to check the reviews and feedback of the website. There are many online retailers whose website disappears after a few months, after they have cheated a large number of customers.
For headphone buyers who wish to purchase headphones of a particular brand, many of the electronic brands have their own online store, listing products for sale. However, since Singapore is a small country, they may not be shipping in Singapore. So in this case, it is advisable to check reputed shopping portals in Singapore which are stocking a large number of headphones from different brands for sales. The shopping portal will usually partner with a local distributor , dealer or retailer for the headphone brand, so customers can be assured that they will get a genuine product of good quality, with a warranty of at least one year.
