Compare Hoco ES26 and ES20 Original
Headphones Hoco ES26 and Hoco ES20 Original have similar features such as wireless connectivity, a range of 10 m, and a frequency range from 20 to 20000 Hz. However, there are a few key differences. The Hoco ES20 Original has a larger battery capacity (40 mAh compared to 35 mAh in the ES26) and slightly shorter playtime (2 hours compared to 2.5 hours for the ES26). In addition, the ES20 uses a USB-C port for charging, while the ES26 uses microUSB. Both devices have a built-in microphone and touch control, but reviews note that the ES26 provides a slightly longer playtime.

Glossary
Headphone battery capacity
The capacity of the battery installed in the headphones of the corresponding design (see "Power").
Theoretically, a higher capacity allows to achieve greater battery life, but in fact, the operating time also depends on the power consumption of the headphones — and it can be very different, depending on the characteristics and design features. So this parameter is secondary, and when choosing it is worth paying attention not so much to the battery capacity, but to the directly claimed operating time (see below).

Operating time (music)
The declared operating time of headphones with autonomous power supply (see above) when listening to music on a single battery charge or a set of batteries.
As a rule, the characteristics indicate a certain average operating time in music listening mode, for standard conditions; in practice, it will depend on the intensity of use, volume level and other operating parameters, and in models with replaceable batteries - also on the quality of specific batteries. However, based on the stated time, you can fairly reliably assess the autonomy of the selected headphones and compare them with other models. As for specific values, relatively “short-lived” devices have a battery life of up to 8 hours, a figure of 8 – 12 hours can be called quite good, 12 – 20 hours – very good, and in the most “long-lasting” headphones the operating time can exceed 20 hours.

Charging port
The type of connector used for charging the built-in battery of headphones, more specifically, for connecting an external charger. Such a device can be a wall or car adapter, a power bank, or even a USB port of a PC or laptop (if you have the appropriate cable). In true wireless models (available with a stem, without a stem, with over-ear attachment, and clip-on), the “charger” cord connects to a special docking station where the “buds” are placed for charging (while the station itself usually has its own battery and can also function as an independent power bank). In wireless and combined solutions of a more traditional design, the charging input is often located on the headphones' body. Regarding connectors, the most common options are:
— microUSB. A smaller version of the USB connector, created for portable devices. It appeared quite some time ago but remains popular even nowadays and is used by the vast majority of manufacturers.
— USB-C. A miniature USB connector, positioned partially as a potential successor to microUSB. Unlike its predecessor, it features a reversible design that allows the plug to be inserted into the port any side up. It is still relatively rare, but it is highly likely that the situation will change in the coming years.
...— Lightning. A proprietary connector by the company Apple. Like USB-C, it has a reversible design, but is somewhat more convenient and reliable. However, the use of Lightning is limited to products from Apple itself and its owned brand Beats.
