wireless headphones

Bluetooth audio gear

Wireless headphones are headphones that connect to audio sources without a physical cable, typically using Bluetooth or radio frequency signals.

They range from over-ear models to compact earbuds: I forgot my wireless headphones at the gym.

The technology allows freedom of movement but requires battery power—a tradeoff against traditional wired headphones.
