Wireless Bluetooth headphones are a relatively new technology, as Bluetooth was introduced in the late 90s. Until a few years ago, many tech experts weren't impressed with the wireless Bluetooth headphones in the market but now with advanced and improved Bluetooth technology, wireless headphones market is booming. The demand for wireless headphones is at an all time high, now that more phones and other gadgets are eliminating their audio jacks. There are tons of good wireless headphones out there and they all have distinct features to offer. So we have put together a few tips to consider when you are buying one. We have also compiled a list of the top wireless headphones in the market as of 2019.

The mode of connection of wireless headphones is bluetooth. However in earlier years, most bluetooth headphones were not of good quality. This has changed with the new upgrade in audio codec. Audio codec is basically a software that encodes audio at one end and decodes it in the other end, and both the headphones and the device are required to have the codec.

The latest and what’s considered the best is the AptX HD but this software requires specific hardware for it to run. Unfortunately it is found only on newer phones like the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and later models. Alternatively the AptX is also a good codec and is supported by most android devices. Take note of the audio codec that runs on the headphones and on the device you want it to connect to before making a purchase.

Battery life span of any device is crucial and for wireless headphones it is even more important. You wouldn't want your headphone’s battery to die while you are using it and there is nothing more annoying than charging your headphone when you want to use it. Different brands offer different battery life span and it’s your prerogative to choose what suits you best. Nevertheless one thing to note is when buying a headphone a manufacturer specification in regards to battery life reflects the optimal condition. So if the specs read 10 hour battery life, cut back an hour or two for a more realistic evaluation. Also bear in mind this number will drop during the course of the headphone's life.
