Choose Wireless Headphones According to How You Will Use Them

Wireless Headphones for PC and Laptop

If you are looking for wireless headphones for your desktop or laptop, you won't got wrong with over-ear headphones. They are comfortable and sound better than similarly priced wireless earbuds or earphones. Choose a wireless headset with a microphone if you want to play games or make online video calls.

Wireless Headphones for Out and About

As they are lightweight and compact, we recommend wireless earbuds or wireless earphones for listening to music outdoors or on the go.

Wireless Headphones for Sports

The most important requirement for sports headphones is that they stay firmly held in your ears. Wireless earbuds are best suited for sports activities—they fit in your ear well, block out ambient noise and don't cause your ears to sweat as much as over-ear wireless headphones.

Wireless Headphones for TV

If you plan to connect your wireless headphones to your television, the over-ear design is the best. Radio frequency headphones allow you to connect to your TV wirelessly via a transmitter.

Choosing Wireless Headphones—Other Factors

Wireless Headphones Technology

• Bluetooth wireless headphones have a range of approximately 10 metres from the playback device. They can connect to many portable devices, making them suitable for home, outdoors and travel.
• Radio frequency headphones with a USB receiver have a range of about 10-12 meters from the playback device and can also connect to your laptop or desktop PC. You can use them at home, but also on the go. You need to insert the radio frequency headphone transmitter into a free USB port on your playback device.
• Radio frequency headphones with a transmitting station have a range of up to 100 metres from the transmitting station. Due to the size and weight of the transmitting station, they are only suitable for home use. The transmitting station normally connects to the player via a 3.5mm Jack, optical cable or RCA.

¹ Many of today's PC setups come with WiFi and Bluetooth support. If yours doesn't, a USB network card or Bluetooth adapter can save the day.
² iPhone 5 and above.
³ iPad 4 and above.
⁴ iPod Nano 7, iPod Touch 5 and above.

Construction of Wireless Headphones

• Closed - almost does not transmit sound out of the headphones, dampens ambient noise.
• Open - provides more faithful music reproduction (less distortion), lets sound out of the headphones, without ambient noise cancelling.
• Semi-closed - a compromise between open and closed headphones, they partially let sound out of the headphones while cancelling some ambient noise.
