So You Bought a Smartphone Without a Headphone Jack. Now What?
Let’s be fair — even if you’re a die-hard audiophile — someone who loves just sitting and listening to your music for
that full, deep, immersive experience — the times you might use wireless headphones probably aren’t those when you’d really appreciate your music.
There are plenty of wireless headphone models available at tons of different price points,
but Ms. Dragan offered this advice against going too cheap: “When headphone companies want to cut the price of a headphone, they usually cut corners on build quality or drivers.
Bottom line, think about whether you’ll use your wireless headphones in public — where you need
situational awareness — or in private, where you’ll want a quieter listening experience.
Because Bluetooth component technology costs money to make/purchase,
and it’s generally not something that headphone manufacturers can cut corners on.”
As Bluetooth headphones have evolved, so has the wireless technology that powers them.
