What could be better than listening to your favorite song on a relaxing day? How about not being forced to stay in one place or carry a device around with you everywhere you go as you listen to your favorite song on a relaxing day? Technology has made a ton of advancements over the years that now allows us to evolve from the Walkman tape player with headset, to the CD player with headset, and now to the iPod or MP3 player with headset. But wouldn’t it be nice to go one step further to just have the headset, minus the device attached, to listen to your songs? Of course, it would! That’s why many people are falling in love with their wireless headphones with Bluetooth capabilities. Want to learn more about them? Read on!
About Bluetooth
Over the last decade, Bluetooth has quickly become a household name. They first became very popular for their earpiece that connected wirelessly to a capable cell phone. This meant there were tons of people walking around appearing as though they were talking to themselves, only to find they had a contraption glued to their ear that allowed them to talk to someone on their phone that was hidden away in their pocket or purse.
Now, however, we have seen a total evolution with this wireless technology. The reasoning behind Bluetooth headphones become so big is their desire to create communication capabilities between varying electronic components. So now, instead of just being able to have your earpiece communicate wirelessly with your cell phone, you can have your cell phone communicate with your printer to print pictures, you can have your video game console communicate wirelessly with your computer, and you can even have your blood pressure machine communicate wirelessly with your doctor’s server at a central location so that your vital stats can be monitored on a regular basis.
In the midst of all of the evolution, you can find great Bluetooth wireless headphones that provide you with the ability to listen to everything from your iPod, computer, cell phone, stereo and even TV. To get an idea of the different companies that offer these wireless headphones, as well as the features they bring in tow, let’s look at some of the more popular brands and models on the market today.
Wireless Headphones Brands
Sennheiser
Sennheiser is revolutionary in the world of microphone technology, having begun their research and production in 1945. They didn’t stop there however, and now are leaders in the creation of headphone transducer technology and active noise-cancellation. Here is one of their more popular headphone models that is not only wireless, but has other great features for you to enjoy:
RS 130 Headphones – Considered a headphone system, this headset is filled with style and is light to carry and wear. It has what is known as switchable surround sound technology which is great for those who want to listen to their movies in surround sound without having to disturb the family members during the dramatic scenes. They can connect to your stereo and of course your TV or DVD player. And since they are wireless, they can allow you to move around the house without having to turn up the volume. When you’re finished with them, you can place them on their metal stand, which is also used to charge the battery. All of these features and more come at a price of $159.00 – not bad!
Sony
Sony has two brands that I thought were worth mentioning, one because they have such unique features, and two, because they are of completely different styles.
DR-BT22 Headset – These specific wireless headphones are great because they allow you to connect to your cell phone or your audio devices. So, let’s say for instance you were on the phone listening to one of your favorite songs when you received a call. You can simply accept the call and talk through your headset, then switch right back over to your favorite song, which should have paused right before you answered the phone. In addition to this capability is your option to use the complimentary remote control that allows you to manage the headset’s basic functions, including stopping and rewinding a song. Also, it comes with rechargeable batteries and folds up easily to be stored when not in use. But the best part of it all is the ability to move about freely without being attached to your device – you can’t beat all of the features you get with this headset.
DR-BT10CX Stereo Earbud Headset – These wireless headphones are not only able to give you the freedom you want, but they are also extremely lightweight and convenient. Why, you ask? Because they are earbuds instead of headphones – this means they fit in your ears instead of over your head. This is a great option for those who enjoy going out to jog with their iPod but don’t like to carry the device in their hands to avoid tugging at the wire. The only wire you have to worry about with these earbuds is the transmitter attachment that can clip anywhere on your body. The iPod itself would be in your pocket – or even in your workout bag if you can keep it near you while in the gym. The headphones provide you with up to 11 hours of talk time and up to 100 hours of standby time. Additionally, because of their adaptability, you can connect them to your stereo or PC too!
Logitech
FreePulse Bluetooth Headphones – These wireless headphones were meant to work specifically with your iPod, and have integrated controls right on them that allow you to change the volume, your song, or stop the player when you’re across the room from the device. While these are not as highly-recommended (or expensive) as the above headsets, they are definitely considered a great upgrade from the complimentary earbuds that come with the iPod.
The next time you go shopping for Bluetooth wireless headphones consider the ones listed here. They each have a good reputation for being of decent quality, and their prices are not unreasonable for the features you receive. However, if you think you need to conduct more research, know there are tons of Bluetooth-enable wireless headphones out there to choose from. Just research wisely, choose well, and enjoy your great, wire-free listening experience.
