Wireless Headphones

Wireless Headphones, as the name implies, means no cable connection is needed between the headphones and the device to enable sound to travel between them. Some wireless headphones consist of two earphones linked together with a cable that fits around your head, and others – known as “true wireless” headphones – are individual earbuds that receive independent signals from your device. “Wireless” – it’s a wider category than it sounds!

The following types of Wireless Headphones can be found at Sennheiser:

• Wireless In-Ear Headphones are widely available, from true wireless to Bluetooth. Earphones consist of two individual earbuds which sit directly inside the ear.
• Wireless Over-Ear Headphones have a headband and cover the ears. They come in various models, including with noise-canceling technology. Wireless On-Ear Headphones are very similar to over-ear headphones but cover rather than enclose the ears. They are also known as “conch headphones” and come in a wide range of designs.

Wireless headphones are convenient for many reasons:

• No more tangled wires: Untangling cables is a thing of the past with wireless headphones.
• More freedom to move: Whether playing sports or dancing around the house - far and wide no cables to get caught on.
• No cables to break: With no wires, you can listen without disruption from broken or loose cables.

That’s not all – some other great features of Sennheiser’s wireless headphones are:

• Noise-reducing: Wireless in-ear, on-ear and over-ear headphones all feature technologies that block out noise.
• Comfortable to wear: Thanks to their well-fitting and ergonomic design, Sennheiser's wireless headphones are extremely comfortable to wear.

A little history for you: the earliest versions of wireless headphones worked by feeding an amplified AF signal into an induction loop that went around the ear. The wireless headphones contained a coil that received the audio signal through the magnetic field of the induction loop. This technology is so sophisticated that it is still used in medical hearing aids today.

Curious about how wireless headphones work today? Here’s a breakdown of the science behind them.

Digital wireless headphones

Digital wireless headphones function via a digital signal, transmitted via wireless technology such as Bluetooth. The headphones then convert the digital signal into an analog signal, for the clearest possible sound.

Tip: Make sure both the audio source and your Bluetooth headphones are both using the same version of Bluetooth – the latest is Bluetooth 5.

True wireless headphones

In true wireless headphones, a signal is sent via Bluetooth to both the left and right earbud simultaneously. The separate, synced up transmissions means you can get top quality stereo sound, totally wire-free. Always state-of-the-art, Sennheiser headphones incorporate the latest tech to ensure that our products are the best on the market.
