Bluetooth headphones connect wirelessly to PCs, laptops, tablets, mobile phones, and other devices (must also be equipped with Bluetooth), allowing you to listen to music up to 10 metres away from the playback device. They have a built-in battery and must be recharged.

When choosing bluetooth headphones, first consider how you will use them
Headphones for PC or laptops
For gaming, office work, or as a versatile PC headset, we recommend over-ear headphones. They are comfortable even during extended listening sessions, and compared with similarly expensive in-ear headphones, they offer superior sound quality. For gaming or Internet video conversations, choose a headset with a microphone.
Headphones for life on the go
When travelling on the bus, train, or plane, earbuds and in-ear headphones are the most convenient, as are headphones with a folding design. In short, go for something lightweight and compact.
Sports headphones
In-ear headphones, such as ear buds, are ideal sports headphones as they fit snugly in your ears, block out ambient noise, and are more comfortable during hot and sweaty workouts than over-ear headphones.
What else should I consider when choosing bluetooth headphones
Construction
- Closed - dampen ambient noise.
- Open - provide high-quality sounds (less distortion) but with some ambient noise
- Semi-closed - a compromise between open and closed headphones.
Useful functions and features
- Volume control - located on the headphones or cable.
- Folding design - for easy portability.
- Rotating ear cups - comfortably listen to music in one ear (especially useful for DJs).
- APTX and AAC - codecs for Bluetooth headphones that guarantee higher quality sound.
- NFC - technology used in connection with Bluetooth headsets, which accelerates and facilitates their connection with the playback device.
