Such a thing as headphones can be bad, good, expensive or cheap. But all models, at least a decade ago, were connected by one design feature - wires that got in the way and got tangled at the most inopportune moment.
Modern technologies in the form of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi protocols have made it possible to abandon the "tether", making it possible to produce wireless headphones. But such a solution entailed a significant complication of the design, and in addition to obvious advantages, some shortcomings appeared. Here we have indistinct sound, limited battery life, and a small reception range.
Of course, high-quality wireless Bluetooth headphones do not have the above disadvantages, or at least are less prone to them. But a good half of gadgets of this kind, as well as the users themselves, have to put up with such features.
We will try to identify the best wireless headphones, which are distinguished by their quality component, good value for money, as well as a lot of positive feedback from users.
JBL T110BT
This is a budget option from a venerable brand. Wireless headphones from the JBL T110BT series have exactly invested in their category of gadgets costing up to 2000 rubles. Despite the relatively low cost, the model turned out to be of surprisingly high quality.
Judging by the reviews of the wireless headphones in this series, they sound very good and have a decent battery life. But at maximum volume, overloads are already felt and the tracks begin to merge into a cacophony, so you should not get carried away with bass.
The T110BT is a great wireless earphone for phone and sports. The gadget received all the significant advantages of this form factor - good sound insulation, modest size and very low weight. The battery, along with the remote control, is low enough not to strain the user with its weight.
Separately worth mentioning is the synergy with Apple devices. Wireless headphones when connected to "apple" gadgets show the real charge of the battery. In general, it was the rejection of the classic “jack” in iPhones that made such a headset noticeably more popular.
Features of the model
In addition, the T110BT model is a wireless headphone with a microphone. The characteristics of the latter are not so hot, but the interlocutor's speech is heard quite clearly, and the conversations themselves have a minimal effect on the battery charge.
Judging by the feedback from users, the model was a success. With a more than adequate and affordable price tag, JBL wireless headphones offer a very good return.

Judging by the feedback from consumers, there are no complaints about the sound quality. In addition, these wireless headphones picked up awards at last year's thematic exhibitions, and independent ones. And that says a lot.
Distinctive features of the gadget
But there is also a fly in the ointment, which is inherent in all sports models. The cost of light weight and modest size was the autonomy of the device. The maximum that can be squeezed out of the gadget is 3.5 hours of work. In principle, one workout should be more than enough. Moreover, the model will not interfere with the conquest of peaks, like otherslong-playing with large dimensions.

The eminent developer perfectly coped with the task. The model received a lot of positive feedback from popular thematic magazines, as the best option in the mid-budget segment.
Wireless headphones calmly pick up a signal within the apartment and transmit sound in the proper quality. Judging by user reviews, they have no complaints about ergonomics, sound or microphone. The model will also be a great help for call center operators, where concentration, “internal” silence and high-quality communication are important. The case has a convenient microphone mute button and a precise volume control.
For picky music lovers, as well as those who appreciate the surround and exceptionally clear sound, this is not the best option, and the price, in fact, does not meet such requests. Well, for gamers and ordinary PC users, this is a great solution.
Headphone features
It should also be notedthat the build quality of the model is at a very high level: there are no backlashes, squeaks, cracks or crackles here.

It should also be noted that the bluetooth receiver (base) involves connecting other wireless headphones, and not necessarily from the same brand. Users speak very well about the model and its capabilities. The only thing that owners sometimes complain about is the not very clear and convenient control, which takes a long time to get used to.

The series received four original colors: "blue wave", "maroon cherry", "gray asph alt" and defiant "green moss".
The model feels great not only paired with an iPhone. Powerbeats 3 are wireless headphones for Apple devices from different segments, whether it's an Apple Watch, iPad, iPod or Mac OS computer.
Separately, it is worth mentioning the indicators of battery life. The manufacturer has achieved excellent results, which have exceeded the mark of 12 hours without recharging. And this despite the fact that wireless headphones for Apple devices cannot be called heavy or with a massive design. The model turned out to be quite sporty, comfortable and practical in many ways.
Distinctive features of the model
As for the sound quality, judging by the reviews of wireless headphones for Apple devices, there are no questions here. The sound output is excellent -clean, voluminous and without regard to the maximum volume level.

Samsung Level U Pro
These wireless headphones from Samsung show off on the brand's main website around the neck of a beautiful runner in the sports accessories section. The model has an original design, where all the main controls are located on the rim along with a capacious battery. This solution greatly increases the ergonomics of the product along with practicality, and also gives it an attractive appearance.
The designers of the venerable brand went their own way to improve the sound quality over wireless protocols. In this particular case, new codecs of the UHQ-BT class were used, which made it possible to significantly increase the quality of all frequencies.
But this decision has its downside. DecodeSuch ultra-high quality is only possible with the latest mobile gadgets, which, by the way, are mostly produced by Samsung itself. The latest generation of devices received support for this codec, while other devices only work with the aptX class.
Features of the model
Users are completely positive about the capabilities of brand new headphones. Here and the exceptional ergonomics of the product, and long battery life, and intuitive controls, and most importantly - excellent sound quality. Of course, not everyone can afford the latest generation mobile gadgets, but in a good half of cases, special firmware helps, which includes a new codec.
By the way, the list of amateur firmware allowed by Samsung is on the official website of the company. So you can arrange this whole enterprise without any problems, having basic knowledge of managing the Android platform, well, or 500-600 rubles in your pocket for a service center.
Model benefits:
- ultra high sound quality;
- excellent gadget ergonomics;
- convenient and intuitive controls;
- attractive appearance;
- the ability to connect an additional sound source.
Flaws:
not all mobile gadgets have the new UHQ-BT codec (in some cases solved by the firmware)
Estimated cost is about 15,000 rubles.
Summing up
When choosing wireless headphones, obviouslyIt is useful to pay attention to the maximum range of devices. The latter, as a rule, have models that operate at ultra-high frequencies from 863 to 865 MHz. But they are less protected from interference, so here we have a double-edged sword.
It is also necessary to take into account the scope of devices. The best wireless option is headphones that work via bluetooth protocols. Wi-Fi technology is good for other purposes, but in transmitting high-quality sound, it did not show itself in the best way. However, in the role of a stationary instrument, for example, in TV models, this is a very good option.
And of course, it's worth mentioning that good quality simply cannot cost a penny, so buying frank junk from no-name manufacturers from China is a waste of money.
