Wireless Headphones

With many people tethered to a device for at least part of every day, wireless headphones have become more of a necessity than merely a convenient accessory. The right headphones can serve you well during a run or a workout, while you’re relaxing in the park, or while you’re visiting the coffee shop. Wireless headphones for TV can save your relationship by allowing you to watch late-night TV without disturbing your sleeping partner. Wireless noise-canceling headphones can make traveling on subways, buses and airplanes more productive, even if you’re primarily using them to drown out noisy fellow travelers. Fortunately, a wide variety makes it easier than ever to choose the best wireless headphones for your needs.

Wireless over-the-ear headphones feature cushioned earcups that enclose the ears. Considered by many people to offer the best sound quality, most feature passive noise reduction, providing acoustic isolation and offering potential for maximum bass levels and loudness. They’re ideal for listening at home, but they may prove too bulky for traveling and working out.

On-ear wireless headphones are similar in design to over-ear models, though the cushions sit on the outer ear. On-ear headphones usually provide excellent sound quality and are often the ideal choice for office use because they’re lighter and more comfortable during long listening sessions. Plus, they allow some ambient sounds to flow through.

Wireless in-ear headphones, also called wireless earphones, fit snugly inside each ear canal, keeping out extraneous noise. Ultracompact and lightweight, they transport easily and are generally among the most affordable wireless headphones, though they usually supply less bass response than other styles.
 

Most wireless headphones use Bluetooth technology to digitally encode audio and wirelessly transmit the sound over short distances, usually up to 33 feet. The sound quality provided by Bluetooth headphones has improved significantly since they were first introduced, and the best Bluetooth headphones can be counted on to accurately deliver your favorite music. They are rapidly becoming the most popular way to listen to music. Not only that, they work with a multitude of devices including MP3 players, smartphones, computers, iPads and tablets, and many televisions.

No matter how durable your wireless headphones and wireless earphones seem to be, you may still want to consider getting one of the headphone cases you’ll find here at Best Buy to provide protection, especially during transport. Some models charge your wireless headphones while they’re in the case.
