Wireless Headphones with Microphone

When choosing wireless 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 wireless headphones

Wireless technology

• Bluetooth headsets - have a range of about 10 metres from the playback device; can be connected to many portable devices, making it ideal for use at home or on the road.
• Radiofrequency headset with USB transmitter - have a range of about 10-12 metres from the playback device and can be connected to a laptop or desktop PC. Ideal for use at home and on the go. Radiofrequency transmitter headphone is inserted into the USB port on the playback device.
• Radiofrequency headphones with broadcaster - have a range of up to 100 metres from the station. Due to the increased size and weight of the broadcast station, it is only suitable for home use. Broadcast stations connect with most players via a 3.5mm jack, fibre optic cable or RCA.

Useful functions and features

• NFC - technology used in connection with Bluetooth headsets, which accelerates and facilitates their connection with the playback device.
