Best portable wireless headphones
Portable wireless headphones represent the cutting edge in headphone technology. New models employ either Bluetooth or radio frequency transmission between headphones and a small base dongle that plugs into the audio source, such as an iPod. The obvious benefit of this type of headphone is that you can get rid of the wires snaking from your backpack, purse, or pocket. However, wireless-audio quality still isn't quite up to wired standards.
