The biggest problem with wireless headphones is most are of poor quality or they just do not perform up to specifications. Finding a model that works and does what they say on the box has been tough for the consumer over the years. Many times, they are left guessing which one works well and which one that does not. WE have compiled a list of some of the better models that you will want to consider if you plan to purchase a set of wireless headphones in the future. Read further to discover which sets you should be putting your money down on.
First thing you should know is in this industry many different companies’ market wireless headphones with various results. Some have good models and some have bad ones. This includes about every company out there. It is hard sometimes to weed through the good ones from the bad ones, but we have done the hard work for you so you can get to do what you like listening to your music. Let us see which ones made our list and which ones did not.
The Sennheiser RS 110 is a great model to start with. The reason I tell people to start here you will be able to see where you’re at and if you really like wireless headphones. These sound good and are very comfortable to wear even for long periods of time. They are very affordable and a very good starter model especially if you’re not sure where you want to start at as far as wireless headphones goes.
Now if you want something a little better and are willing to spend a bit more than you will want to invest in the Sennheiser RS 120. This set of headphones is considered one of the better models this company has made. This set of wireless headphones is very comfortable to wear with some outstanding sounds that you will love. The quality construction is also something we like about this model along with a low price makes this a winner in our book.
The Sennheiser RS 130 is a step up from the RS 120 and you will definitely notice that. You get a very well constructed set of wireless headphones with many great features as well. The first thing you will notice about these is when you put them on your head how comfortable they are. They feel great and do not worry it does not end there. The sound quality is excellent. You will have plenty of bass sounds along with a good mixture of tones no matter what type of music you put on.
Last and sure not least is the Sennheiser RS 140. This model is a very good set of wireless headphones that will cost you more than the others will, but this is set is well worth it. If you really value sound quality than this is the model, you should be looking into, as they are that good. Well constructed is something these also have going for them and very comfortable to wear all day long.
As you probably have notice all the headphones on this list is from Sennheiser and for good reason they make the best wireless headphones for the money. Yes, there is more expensive sets out there and even better sounding ones as well, but these combine the best value of price and performance for the money you are spending. Toss in the Sennheiser name and you really cannot go wrong with these at all. I will admit these wireless headphones from this company are very strong performers and give the consumer a lot of options.
First of all if you are just starting out and want to see if wireless headphones are for you they have something on the lower end. If you are looking to take your headphone listening to a higher level than they have something for you as well. This is why for your money these are the best deal on the market. If you’re a beginner or seasoned pro and need a wireless set of headphones than look no further than the ones we have listed above.
Like I said before other companies also make wireless headphones and some of them are good performers and will do the job for you, but for the money spent and the quality you get it will be very hard to beat a set of headphones from Sennheiser. Grab these today and ditch the wires and see how much easier it is to listen to your music when you’re not attached to anything.

JVC electronics has always been one of my favorite companies because they produce top products that always seem to work well and combat a problem that consumers usually are facing. When I first see the FX33 marshmallows headphones I thought to myself have this company went bonkers or something. These look different and I really wanted to see if these worked or was this just some promotional ploy. Read further and you will discover what I learned about the JVC HA FX33 marshmallows.
One of the first things that really grab you about this set of headphones is the blue color. I really do not see too many blue sets made so that was something that really intrigues me about these. First off, these are the in-ear type earphones so if you are not a big fan of those type than these will not be for you. Personally, I am so that is why I really wanted to see how well these would perform. Let us find out how well these beauties or beast as some people call them perform.
First, you must get use to the marshmallow type earphones before you go any further. This design was used so people could get them inside the ear much easier and for the most part that theory works well. Many time in-ear earphones are very tough to get inside your ear and you can take hours to get a perfect fit, which is something I really hate. These were easy to insert so in a way the marshmallow type design is a plus. I never thought I would say that. Overall I like the design they are soft and even being blue is really not a drawback for me. Comfort is something people look for and these were very comfortable in my ears so I have to give them props for getting that part of these correct. Now do not worry though is blue is not you it comes also in pink, lime green, black and white so you can get away from blue if you do not like that color. I am sure the women though will really take to the pink and lime green.
Sound quality is something that we are all looking for with in-ear earphones and to my surprise, these were not bad at all. Most of this type struggle to give you good sound, but these did not. You will have a good mixture of tones and the bass and range is very good. The sound is well balanced and distortion was very limited, which is hard to find in a set of earphones in today’s market unless you really want to spend a lot of money. All in all the sound quality was very good and the range was something people will definitely like about these.
Now one big plus for me with the JVC FX33 was the price as they are on the low end of the scale. Even though they give you, plenty of choice as far as color the price is perfect which consumers should really like. The cord is of equal lengths on both sides which it seems is becoming more rare these days. I do not know what that is true but it is. It also comes with a gold plated plug to make sure you get a good connection every time.
Overall, I will admit I had my reservations at first about what these were all about and if they were worth the money. After using them for a few hours several important things came to the forefront concerning these in-ear earphones. First, this design seems to work very well and it gives me a good fit in my ear, which is something I really like. It does block out some of the outside noise, which is another big plus in my book. The sound quality was much better than I thought it would be so that is another thing on its side as well. Toss in a low-end price and a few different colors and you have a winner from JVC. These are perfect for a replacement of your iPod earphones or any other applications that you may need something that is low cost that will give you quality performance. The FX33 is one set of earphones I would recommend to people who are looking for a low cost second set of earphones. Once you get past the design and colors you will find out the bottom line is these perform and give you a lot of bang for your buck.

When I first thought about making, my first USB headphone purchase I never really thought about Samsung, but I have heard some nice things from my colleagues at work about the performance of these. I never really had any Samsung products so I thought I would check these out because everyone at work seems to love these. Read further and see if these are worth buying for your office or home use as well.
Now more of us are at the computer than almost anywhere else these days it seems. From work to our home computers, we are always finding things to do on it. If it is downloading the latest movie or song, most of us will be on it sometime during the day. Distractions can also affect the amount of workload you can get done so this is why I was interested in these. I could block out the outside world and get my work done. Let us see how well these work.
When I first got these I really was not expect much so anything I got I considered a plus since I really had no idea what kind of product this company produced. Out of the box, I plug it into the USB and the Windows XP found a new device right away and downloaded the driver I needed to operate this set of headphones. I was glad, because I hate searching for drivers anyway and did not really want to go to a corporate site to find the driver. I have to give kudos to the company for making it easy to install. If you ask me that is half the battle when you deal with products like this. Fitting these was my next step and I was hoping they would be very comfortable to wear. Many times, I am at my computer for hours so I need something that will give me a nice fit. This pair of Samsung headphones fit perfectly. I mean they have plenty of padding and after several hours of using them they were still as comfortable as when I put them on. No complaints at all about the comfort or fit with these.
Since this was the first set of Samsung headphones I owned I was worried about the kind of sounds I would hear from these, but that was put to rest pretty quickly. These sound great and are very well balanced which surprised me. They have excellent bass definition and great clarity especially through the midranges, which is something I like about them. Sound quality was much more than I expected so that was a plus for me. These headphones use ordinary AA batteries which is find, but I found out they go through them fairly quickly so rechargeable batteries maybe your best option. Interference was another concern I had with this set of headphones. To my surprise, I had no interference problems at all which actually surprised me. The reason I say that is I had a more expensive 2.4GHz set of headphones that had plenty of interference, but this pair from Samsung was great not even a hiss to mention.
Overall, the Samsung 2.4 GHz headphones have many great things going for them. First, they are very comfortable to wear even after a long time of use. Secondly, they are easy to hook up and get started with. Where most have taken me hours to hook up these was very easy and that is something that I really like a lot. Sound quality was up there as well. Most of the time when you deal with a company that is not known for headphones you have problems to deal with, but these sounded great. The construction on these was also very good so that was something I like. These are also very affordable so you should have no issues with that as well.
If you are looking for a set of headphones for your computer than look no further than these from Samsung. You will get a top performer at a very fair price that performs beyond your expectations. Where most companies come up short somewhere these are one of the better pairs I have seen in a very long time. If you’re in the market for a set than grab these as you will be very happy with your purchase that is for sure. The Samsung 2.4GHz headphones are a solid performer at a price that will be very hard to beat now and in the future.

The Pioneer SE-DIR800C is on the high-end as far as price is, but with everything you get this could very well be the last set of headphones you ever purchase from a company. Most people have several different types of headphones for a variety of different things. This set of Pioneer headphones looks to take the place of all these and give you just one set of headphones that you will have to deal with. Read further to see if this actually is the only set of headphones that you will ever need.
One of the first things you will notice about these is they are wireless type headphones. This means if you have always wanted to go wireless than you’re in luck. Audio data is transmitted from a small base station allowing you to move freely up to a range of around 30 feet. No more worrying about wires and not being able to move to the beat of the music. You will finally be able to get off that couch with no problems of connection to your music. The DIR800C use an IR transmission system so there must be a direct line of sight between the headphones and base for them to work. When not in use, the headphones can be docked and the base station supplies power to the AA rechargeable batteries as well. Battery life is very good which another good thing about them was. Having rechargeable batteries make it easy and charging them was no issue at all.
This set of headphones from Pioneer offer Dolby surround processing which means you will get some very good sounds from this unit. The surround sound effect can be turned off if you do not want to hear that part of it. These have great frequency response and some outstanding sounds that you will hear from them. They can handle virtually any type of music and have great tones and bass sound as well. Throughout the completely musical spectrum, you will get rich sound that you will love. I know I had not complaints at all of the kind of music that came from this set of headphones. These headphones do not have any noise canceling features, but the closed-air design blocks out some external sounds, but not everything. The headband is self-adjusting so you should have no problem getting a good fit. These fit well and are very comfortable to wear for hour after hour. One of the biggest advantages of wireless headphones is the ability of you to listen to music or television and you will not wake up anyone else, which is important especially if someone really needs to rest up for the follow day. This is the big advantage of having wireless headphones. More people are going to wireless for that very same reason.
So are the DIR800C worth the high-end price that you will have to pay for them. This is the question many people are asking and the answer is a simple yes. You get a pair of wireless headphones that will let you move around the room without disturbing others who may be busy and do not want to listen to your music. Secondly, you get a very comfortable set of headphones that you can wear for hours without any problems at all. Third, you will get some of the best sounds that you have ever heard which means a lot too many people. Plenty of base and low- to high range sound will be apparent. It is one of the better sounding set of headphones that I have heard in a very long time. It also will block out some outside noise so that is also a plus in my book.
The Pioneer DIR800C has a lot going for it and most people who do purchase this will be very happy with the type of performance that you get I know I was. Most of the time a part of a headphone will disappoint me, but this set did not do that. These are worth every penny they are asking for and once you start pumping music through them you will know exactly what I am talking about. No matter what if you can afford these this could very well is the last set of headphones that you will ever need to buy. The Pioneer DIR800C is a very good set of headphones that will let you ditch all your other headphones and finally just have one at last. Isn’t it about time?

After a few years of use, our iPod ear buds are something that we are always looking to replace. We want something a little better sounding and something new to go with our iPods. The Panasonic HJE 300 is an alternative that you may want to consider if you have had your ear buds now for some time. Most people are on the lookout and I have heard some good things about this model from Panasonic. Read further to discover if the hype lives up to the actual testing in the field.
When we talk about consumer headphones there are two types that are always mention and that is ear buds and over the ear headphones. Most people follow into this category and that will probably not change for anytime very soon. The Panasonic RP-HJE300 is one of the best set of stereo ear bud headphones on the market for many different reasons. First looks at these and you can see what looks like a normal set of ear buds, but quickly that is where it stops. The HJE300 comes with three different ear pad sizes so you will have a very good fit into your ear. I had no issues with getting a good fit and they did not fall out after repeated use, which is something I really liked. Comfort level was very good and if you need to have these in for a prolonged amount of time, you will have no issues at all which is something I cannot say about every ear bud I have tried before. You will also notice once that you have them in the snug fit is so good many outside noises will also be block out and you will be able to listen to your music in peace and quiet. Just the way it should be.
One of my biggest worries about this set of ear buds was how durable would they be. Most ear buds I get do not seem to last very long, but these have been very durable and better made than most ear buds that I have used before. The custom fit that you get with this set of earphones means you will also block some of the outside noise which in my opinion is a good thing and not a bad one if you ask me. Sound quality is something that many people put at the top of their list. Luckily so has Panasonic as the HJE300 has some of the best sound that I have heard from a set of ear buds in a very long time. Most people think that all ear buds are created equal, but that just is not the case when we talk about the HJE300. You will get crisp clear sound that can be heard through a wide spectrum of music. Bass response is very good and you will notice it throughout whatever type of music you listen too.
Now one of the other things I really like about these besides the good fit, great sounds it this set of ear buds is very affordable for almost anyone. It seems when you tend to find a nice set of earphones they are so high priced that the normal person really cannot afford them, well this pair is not that way at all. In fact, these are very affordable and have everything you could want in a set of earphones. Most people who first try these ear buds out will be very impressed with what they get and will want to buy more than just one pair. The Panasonic HJE300 is definitely something that you will want to take a deep look at especially if you need a new set of ear buds. Most people will be surprised at how well these actually work and give you quality sound that you are looking for.
Overall, the Panasonic HJE300 was much better than I had anticipated. Many times the hype never lives up to the actual product, but this is one time that it has. You get a great sounding pair of ear buds that fit well in your ears and at a very affordable price. In today’s world that is not something we see a lot of so grab this set when they are available. You definitely will not be disappointed in the price or the performance you get from this product from Panasonic. Grab these while they are still available as it is hard to find ear buds that have everything you may need. The HJE300 is one set of ear buds that will take your music listening to another level.

One of the things I always like checking out is the low-price ear buds because many times I have found out that these will sound just as good as ones cost four or five times the price. I have heard some good things about the RP-HV21 ear buds from Panasonic so I thought I would check them out and see if they are all hype or more substance. Read further to discover what I found out about these earphones and if they are really a good buy or a waste of your time.
Panasonic is a company over the years that have made a wide variety of different products and for the most part, I have enjoyed everything that they have issued. This is why I figured I would give the Panasonic RP-HV21 portable ear buds a try and see how well they do work. Let us get started and see what these really can do. First impressions of these are they do look like most ear buds and they do give a nice fit. The earpiece fits nice into your ear and it has a long cord, which is something I really like about these. I wore these for several hours and I had no issues with them hurting or falling out which many times has been a problem I have had with ear buds. These seem to work well and gave me no issues at all.
Now these are on the very low end as far as price so I did not expect a lot from the sound quality even though people told me I would be surprised. After running several different types of music through this set of ear buds I must admit everything I heard was very true about these. It has excellent sound through various ranges. You get plenty of low end and high-end sound as well. Most low-priced earphone headphones do not give you the kind of sound that you get from these. I was shocked to say the least. Bass and earthly tones dominate the sounds and you also get clear sound without annoying buzz that some ear buds I have had before. I used them on a variety of different electronic devices to make sure that they worked well and they did. It really did not matter what kind of device I use these low-end ear buds sounded very good.
Overall several things were noticed when going through a variety of different tests with the Panasonic HV21 portable ear buds. One of the first things you will notice is these are well made. Most low priced headphones are cheaply made and fall apart after a few uses, but these do not seem to be that way. The fit was very good and I had no problem keep them in my ears, which is something that I really liked a lot. You should also have no problem listening to them for hours on end with no discomfort at all. As far as the sound quality, I think you will be very happy with that end of it as well. Most cheap ear buds do not sound very good, but these are the exception to that rule. It is one of my favorite sounding set of ear buds I own. You will get quality sound no matter what type of music you play which is another plus in my book. Great range and very little distortion, which is something, I really like about these.
Do you need this set of ear bud headphones? That question is really easy to answer of course you do. These sound great and are very comfortable to wear and you have a low-end price how can you really ask for anymore from Panasonic. These are perfect if you need a replacement set of ear buds just to carry with you on trips or a replacement set of a pair that just is not performing the way you want them to. No matter what you should grab yourself a couple pairs of these. You will be very happy with the performance you get for what you will be paying for these. In today’s world, you will have a very hard time finding a better deal than what the Panasonic HV21 can give you. My advice grabs these and you will be very happy you did. Headphones like this at this price do not come along very often so when you get a chance you must grab a deal like this. These perform and at a very low-end price that is very hard to beat.

When you first look at the Koss TV21 headphones, many things come to mind as these over the head headphones do have a different type of design than you normally see from Koss. In recent years, this company has tried to improve their image by designing things a little different to market to a different type of consumer. This product definitely will hit home with the younger crowd that is for sure. Does it perform though? Read further and discover what we learned about the Koss TV21 headphones and how they sound and perform as well.
I have to give Koss credit for thinking outside the box, which many companies in the headphone market tend not to do. Most want to play it safe and not rock the boat so this issue from this company is something I really wanted to check out. The sleek silver design is something that should appeal to many different types of people who want something a little different from a set of headphones as far as design goes. The fit was something I did not know about, but after putting them on, they were more comfortable than I thought they would be. I decided I would wear them for a while and see how they felt. After a few hours, they still felt fine so you should have no problem with comfort. The fit well over the ears and have good padding which I liked.
Koss has always been known for the sound quality of their products so I was really interested to see how this set of headphones would sound. With a frequency response between 20Hz-18KHz and a 90dB of sensitivity, I knew these should work pretty well. I decide that I would take a different approach to these and started out with some classical music to see how well it would sound before I tried music that is more modern. I was very surprised how well they did sound. The classical music was rich sounding and good throughout the low to high range. When I tossed on more modern music the sound just good better with great bass sound and beautiful sound tones throughout the scale. The sound quality with this model is very good and you should have no problem with that aspect of this set of headphones. If you like good low end and high end sound than this is a set of headphones that you should have. I was impressed in the sounds that came from these and you will too.
Many things stand out about the Koss TV21 headphones that you will definitely like. First, though only two minor drawbacks to this model and that is a volume control on the wire would have been nice. The other beef I had was the cable could have been more sturdy made, but neither one of these took away from this headphones performance that is for sure. This set though has many good things going for it as well. It has a great fit and I really like the design of this model. It is a little departure from what we usually get from Koss, but this model really stands out and that is something I like. As far as the sound quality on this issue, it is very good. Much better than I would have ever guessed so, you should have no problem in that area either. Most people who listen to this set for the very first time will be very happy with what they get from them.
Overall, this is a set of headphones that you will want to add to your collection. It has a very good price and very good construction with great sound. Koss takes great care in making sure they produce a quality product and this is no exception. If you are just starting out and looking for a set of headphones to start with than I would look no further than this set. It is a good place to start and it is a very good buy for the beginner or the seasoned pro as well. Anymore it is getting tougher to find a good starter set of headphones at a good entry-level price but this one has it all. You will get a good fit, great sound and the Koss name, which is well respected, in the headphone industry. If you’re looking to replace your current set or want a new one than grab these you will be happy with the performance you get and at a good price as well.

Koss is one of the makers of headphones who always seem to come out with things that are a little different. Sometimes different is good especially when you’re talking about headphones. Koss has always been a company that has produced products that I have liked so when my iPod headphones went dead I thought we would give Koss a whirl and see what they had to offer. The KSC75 headphones looked like something that would do a great job so I decided to take a real close look at those. Read further to discover what I learned about these and if you should grab yourself a pair of these.
The Koss KSC75 headphone is one of the units that this company sells that is consider one of their better models so I thought that it would be a good place to start. There has been a lot of hype written about these as better than some headphones costing 100.00 or more so I want to see for myself. Let us find out if they are as good as advertised or are people just pulling our legs about the performance of these low-cost headphones.
Design wise the KSC75 is a clip-on headphone, which I really did not know if I would like that style. It consists of two independent earpieces that fit around your ear. I was really worried about comfort and if they would stay on. It sports a silver and black design, which I really liked, and the fit was much more comfortable than I had thought. I had no real issues with them not staying on so my worries were just that in my mind. They perform well through the design test and I had no ill effects even though I wore them for hours at a time. Most people may think clip-on headphone can be a bother, but I can tell you they are not and you will like what you get with these.
The most important aspect to me of course was how these would sound. I loved my ear buds and was hoping I would get something close to that kind of sound and I would be happy. I have to admit I was blown away by what I heard. I did not really expect a lot because these are on the low-end as far as price, but I will admit these sound real good. The bass is rich and the sound clarity is clean and clear and put my factory ear buds to shame. The reviews I read about how the sound was great and a cut above what you can imagine for the price was totally right. For me it has to sound very good to impress me and they did that. Now there are a few drawbacks that I wish they would have changed and that was a longer cord. 4 feet of cord really is not enough, which is something that I really do not like. It does not affect the performance, but still would have like to see a much longer cord. The only other drawback is that it is an open-air type headphone, which means it does not block outside noise, which would have been nice, but none of these problems take away from its performance or what this model can do.
Overall, the Koss KSC75 headphones have so many things going for it that you would be remiss if you did not own at least one pair of these. Most people wonder about the clip on type headphone and so did me at first, but I have no problem at all recommending it. They are very comfortable to wear, but where this model really excels is in the sound. If you want some clear, crisp sound with plenty of bass than this is the set of headphones for you.

JLab now for a number of years have produced some top quality headphones and this set is one I have been looking for. I have needed a new set for my iPod and many people have told me about this company and the quality work that they do. I was interested to see if they are as good as people say or are they pulling my leg. Read further and we can find out together if these are all they say or just some smoke and mirrors.
First of all, I must admit I do like the name JBuds that is cute and probably fits the product very well. Design wise these are like most normal ear buds and then again, they are not. First of all, they come in black and pink, which I think, was meant for the women sect who is also iPod owners as well. One of the first things I noticed about these is they have a very long cord and are well constructed. Ear buds for the most part are all designed the same way certain companies add things to them to make it their own. The JBuds have soft silicone sleeves, which make the custom fit into your ears much easier. They seem to fit extremely well and block out outside noise pretty well too. I like the fact that they do not pop out and stay in and give you a good fit. Many companies’ ear buds just cannot stay put and that can become a hassle after a few hours. I used them I my ears and they did not fall out or hurt my ears at all. I got a good custom fit very quickly so I must give JLab credit for getting that part done correctly. Fit is very important and it seems more and more people are really making this a priority when buying ear buds.
In reality, most people will tell you that fit and comfort are important, but the sound quality is really, what they want to know about. I guess you can lump me into that group as well. I wondered what kind of sound I would get out of the JBuds and it sure did not take long to find out. Once I hooked my iPod up to them, you heard high intensity sounds that were crisp and clean throughout the musical scale. From the low end to the high end, the sound quality was excellent with very good bass sounds and great tones. Overall I will admit the sound quality blew me away. I was expecting good sound, but nothing like what I received. You have to give kudos to JLab for getting this part of the ear buds almost perfect. These work with every MP3 player, CD, portable DVD, and laptop. This means you will have plenty of chances to use them and you will not be wasting your money on just one application. It has many uses so why buy more headphones when this one pair can take the place of all those others.
Looking back at the JBuds many things come to mind on why these are a very good purchase especially if you are looking to add another set to your collection or if you need to replace a worn out set of ear buds. Comfort and fit is something that many of us take for granted. Many times, we are spoiled when we find something that fits well and is comfortable. This is exactly what you get with these from JLab. They fit well and block out noise from the outside world as well. Sound quality is another aspect where these also perform very well. If you are looking for crisp clear sound throughout the musical spectrum than grab these, you will not be disappointed. Construction of these is another big plus as well. These are well made and designed and should last you for years. Toss in a low-end price and you have the perfect set of ear buds for most any application that you could run into.
These are solid performers that do everything you ask of them. JLab has a winner here and if you need another set real soon for that iPod. MP3 player or your laptop computer by all means looks no further than the JBuds. You get a well-designed great sounding set of ear buds at a very affordable price. In today’s world that is becoming much harder to find, but thanks to JLab it can still be done.
