Digital Wireless Headphones Deliver Freedom

General Articles

If you like to listen to your favorite podcasts or tunes when you are housecleaning or exercising, but dislike being attached to your MP3 player, iPod, stereo or other electronic player with a cord, then digital wireless headphones are for you.

Digital wireless headphones are connected to your electronic gadgets with a mini-jack. Many wireless headphones manufacturers will include a digital input as well as a regular RCA or mini-jack in the headphones package. This feature is a must-have if you plan to use your headphones with your CD player, mini disc or DVD.

Premier Sound Quality.

Not only will they free you from a cord, digital wireless headphones produce fabulous sound quality. Most wireless headphones utilize infrared technology to transmit and receive the signal. Some utilize a radio frequency instead. These frequency signals are sent as a raw analog transmission.

The signal is transmitted and received by digital wireless headphones with a digitally encoded signal. This process reduces or eliminates the hissing sound that is sometimes associated with analog transmissions. If sound quality is important to you, digital wireless headphones are the best option.

If you plan to use digital wireless headphones with your home theater system or car, look for models that include built-in Dolby decoders and surround sound. While these types of digital wireless headphones are more expensive, they will enhance your listening experience.

Powering Your Headphones.

Last, but not least, digital wireless headphones will need some form of power. The majority of wireless headphones utilize a transmitter that plugs into the wall. Typically, the headset will be powered by batteries which are stored in the headset itself.

If you plan on using your digital wireless headphones frequently, consider getting rechargeable batteries. Rechargeable batteries can save you a a nice chunk of change in the long run.
