The Very Best In Wireless Headphones

By Dave Barty


Wireless headphones...just recently I was on an airplane, watching the in flight movie and listening to the sound on my headphones. The person in the seat next to me needed to use the washroom so I stood up to move. Sadly, the wire caught on the arm of the seat and tore the earbud out of my ear. It had been painful and when I sat back down and inspected my earbud, I discovered that one of the wires had broken free.

These portable listening devices have come a long way! I keep in mind in the 60's once they had a radio built right in (with a giant antenna) and took two batteries. As you can imagine, those latest in modern technologies gadgets looked more just like something from a bad science fiction move!

Today, wireless headphones are hardly visible. If the person uses the earbud or canalbud type, you cannot even tell that they are listening to their favorite news station (although that might explain why they are dancing around like maniacs).

Various manufacturers have different quality products...

...go with the name brand manufacturers.

This isn't the first time that cords have become entangled and useless when I've been traveling. That's why the cordless are so good. Numerous companies make "these latest in technology" for a variety of reasons. Check out some of the best names from the people who make them, including Sennheiser, Shure, and Koss to see quality phones in motion.

They are also great in the car. If you are driving down the highway and you get a call on your mobile phone, having a hands-free option so you can keep both hands on the steering wheel is a really good idea. These are increasing in popularity and you can sometimes see individuals walking around with small metallic devices on their ears.

These hook over the ear and a small microphone reaches to their cheek, which can pick up their conversation. They're also useful in an office setting where the secretary has to walk around (maybe delivering the mail) whilst still being able to answer the phone.

Even though many developments are being made in the headphone business, they may not be completely suitable for the audiophile just yet. For the geek who likes to listen to music and tries to attain a good quality sound, a circumaural headphone is a real good choice. This may change in the near future however it may not be there just yet for the true music aficionado.

For the rest of us, they're just the right combination of convenience and quality to hear the sounds we want to hear. One more thing: Its important to remember to keep the volume down just a little on your wireless headphones and save your hearing!
