What are wireless headphones?
Simply put, wireless headphones (or earphones) don’t have a cable or wire connecting them to your device. Instead, they connect via Bluetooth, meaning no more tangled cables! The trade-off is that wireless headphones will need charging, and Bluetooth does have a maximum range before it cuts off.

Best for exercise - Mixx StreamBuds
These sleek earphones are best for people who like to work out, be it running, lifting at the gym, cycling, or hiking. Wireless headphones are ideal for exercise - the last thing you want is tangling cables or the discomfort of wires sticking to sweaty skin.
