Those wires on your headphones are so last century. This "Pop Sci" piece looks at some of the latest products to cut the wires on your audio listening experience.
It's a brave new wireless world, yet most portable-audio hounds are still tangled up in headphone cords. Soon, though, you'll have lots of wireless stereo headphones to choose from. The technology isn't brand new, but until recently it was too bulky and expensive to shove into the tiny, splurge-worthy gadgets we love. Expect to see three flavors of wireless earmuffs—Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and magnetic induction— rolling out between now and early next year. These airy headphones will connect wirelessly to audio players, mobile phones, laptops, stereo systems and game consoles for unencumbered musical bliss
While there are current state of the art headphones from Logitech and Plantronics, there's also some new stuff. The new directions include wifi (for some upcoming wifi players), and magnetic induction which promises less interference and better battery life. Stay tuned, this product category is heating up!
