Hopefully the information below will shed some light on wireless headphones overall and help you on your quest when buying the best headphones whether it be online or in your local electronic store.

Like me, most people dislike headphones because the average cord length can seem very restricting and usually is. I know you could use bulky extension cords, but who wants the extra weight of them on your head. Bluetooth stereo headphones use a different wireless technology to eliminate the cord between the headphones and device. Essentially, a bluetooth wireless transmitter is placed in the connector port that sends sound signals to the wireless headphones, which acts as a receiver.

Most bluetooth headphones are battery powered using a rechargeable battery (any bluetooth headset should come with a charger) and are gaining popularity among iPod's, MP3 players, and cell phone users. Average battery charge and listening times, vary slightly per brand and model. On average, the listening time on a charged battery is 5-7 hours of constant use.

The best quality wireless signal you can get is a bluetooth RF signal and there also the easiest to setup overall. Also used by other computer and gaming electronics, bluetooth frequencies have proven to be the most reliable for delivering the best sound within virtually any home, office or even while jogging.

You should look for higher frequencies as they deliver longer wireless range between you and the item. Bluetooth stereo headphone wireless technology is growing so fast and now used by most portable devices. A bluetooth signals current range is about 30ft-40ft of clear wireless transmitting.

TIP: The optimal frequency response of our ear is 20Hz to 20,000H and any headphones you can buy these days or exceed that frequency range which makes it easier to pick one out. You'll find that all name brand bluetooth stereo headphones exceed the optimal frequency response by almost triple. You will end up wearing your set all the time even if you don't need to be quiet playing video games / computer games since you can hear even the lightest footsteps and incredible sounds which you wouldn't normally pickup from normal TV playing.

One of the newest uses of bluetooth stereo headphones is at home, for watching TV whenever you need it to be quiet and not bother anyone. Every HDTV television will have a 3.5mm headphone jack (similar to what you would find on most audio players). If you ask people the reason why they use wireless headphones, the number one answer people would give is for watching or listening to music at night just so they do not disturb others. It's the best way to appreciate TV at time of the night while keeping the volume level high just where you prefer.

Are you curious which bluetooth headphones set is better for watching TV and which headsets are better for computer use? With bluetooth, it doesn't matter! Bluetooth does it all and allows you to move around the house during commercials or to get a drink - doesn't matter why. Now since more and more HDTV's these days incorporate a bluetooth option, be on the look out for that option if planning on buying a new television. If your intention is streaming videos from your computer or on portable device... you will 100% hands down want a set of QUALITY / NAME BRAND bluetooth stereo headphones just because they deliver such a higher quality sound over normal stereo headphones and 2.4GHz wireless headsets.

*IMPORTANT INFORMTION: The last thing you want to do is flake out and buy cheap bluetooth headphones, I learned my lesson real fast with third party brands. I have listed a few specific bluetooth stereo headphones models that in my opinion will be the best bang for your buck and no brainers on buying as a gift.

1. Bluetooth Devices are Wireless.
If you navigate through the rest of our site you will learn that there are tons of advantages/benefits when using wireless devices. In addition to improving safety as a result of eliminating the clutter of wires and associated hazardous connections, wireless technology also offers many convenient advantages. For example, when you are traveling with your laptop, PDA, MP3 player and other devices, you no longer have to worry about bringing along all of your connecting cables.

2. Bluetooth Technology is Inexpensive.
Bluetooth technology is cheap for companies to implement, which results in lower over-all manufacturing Costs. These savings are then passed on to you, the consumer. The end result: Bluetooth devices are relatively inexpensive.

3. Bluetooth is Automatic.
Bluetooth doesn't require you to think about setting up a connection or to push any buttons. When two or more Bluetooth devices enter a range (Up to 30 feet) of one another, they automatically begin to communicate without you having to do anything. Once the communicating begins, Bluetooth devices will setup Personal Area Networks or Piconets. The best part is: The devices take care of the entire setup process, and you can go about your business.

4. Standardized Protocol = Interoperability
Since Bluetooth is a standardized wireless specification, a high level of compatibility among devices is guaranteed. The Bluetooth specification uses and defines various profiles. Every Bluetooth profile is specific to a particular function. For instance, when a Bluetooth enabled cell phone and a Bluetooth headset (Both with the same profile) are communicating with one another, both will understand each other without the user having to do anything, even if the devices are of different models/makes.

5. Low Interference (If Any) Bluetooth devices avoid interference with other wireless devices by:
a) Using a technique known as spread-spectrum frequency hopping, and
b) Using low power wireless signals.

6. Low Energy Consumption
As stated above, Bluetooth uses low power signals. As a result, the technology requires little energy and will therefore use less battery or electrical power. Obviously, this is a great benefit for mobile devices because Bluetooth won't drain the life of your device's battery.

7. Share Voice and Data
The Bluetooth standard allows compatible devices to share both voice and data communications. For example, it is probably no surprise that a Bluetooth enabled cell phone is capable of sharing voice communications with a compatible Bluetooth headset, however, the same cell phone may also be capable of establishing a GPRS connection to the Internet. Then, using Bluetooth, the phone can connect to a laptop. The result: The laptop is capable of surfing the web or sending and receiving email.

8. Instant Personal Area Network (PAN)
Up to seven compatible Bluetooth devices can connect to one another within a proximity of up to 30 feet, forming a PAN or piconet. Multiple piconets can be automatically setup for a single room.

9. Upgradeable
The Bluetooth standard is upgradeable. A development group at the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has been given the task of working on the new Bluetooth version 2, which offers several new advantages and is backward compatible with the older versions.

10. The Technology is Here to Stay
Bluetooth is a universal, world-wide, wireless standard. Therefore, you can count on it being around for years to come. As more devices begin to use Bluetooth technology, electronics manufacturers will be increasingly eager to make their products compatible, using Bluetooth. A chain reaction is inevitable, in fact, it has already begun.
