Glossary
Sensitivity
The sensitivity of the headphone's own microphone.
The more sensitive the microphone, the higher the signal level from it, at the same sound volume, and the better this model is suitable for picking up quiet sounds. Conversely, low sensitivity filters out background noise. At the same time, we note that these nuances are important mainly in professional work with sound. And for simple tasks like voice communication over the phone or via the Internet, sensitivity does not really matter: in headphones of this specialization, it is selected in such a way as to ensure that the microphone is guaranteed to work.

Mobile app
The ability to operate the functions and settings of headphones through a mobile application for a smartphone or tablet. Communication between the device and gadgets is usually carried out via the Bluetooth wireless protocol. The mobile application may provide tools for flexible sound settings (equalizer, bass boost, etc.), switching noise reduction and transparency modes, reassigning buttons and gestures, finding lost headphones, etc. Also, the ability to update the headphone firmware is often implemented through the mobile application.
