Wireless Headphones

Wireless headphones use Bluetooth or infrared technology to eliminate the cords connecting your headphones to your music player. Found in on-ear and over-ear form, wireless headphones offer the same music quality without the tangled cords.

Pros and Cons

Wireless headphones are very convenient and good for those who need to move around and don’t want to be bound by headphone cords. They often aren’t very portable, however, as they still require the plastic or metal band connecting the earpads. In addition, they can be quite expensive, especially if you’re looking for especially high-quality sound.

Who Should Use Them?

Wireless headphones aren’t for travelers, as Bluetooth technology is not allowed on planes. On-ear or over-ear wireless headphones can be used by those who work with sound and need to be able to move around without being held down by cords. Remember, however, that wireless headphones tend to be more expensive than wired ones, and getting high-quality sound from a wireless headphone can cost you hundreds.
