Wireless Earbuds – Improved Convenience, Constrained Audio Quality

Wireless headsets and earbuds, those lightweight, untethered truly wireless devices to listen to your playlist or a conference call, are a fast-growing consumer trend for good reason. Who enjoys untangling the cable they stuffed in their pocket or having wires dangling around their head? Wireless delivers – no cables, no tangles and no tumbling earphones (although claims that a cord connecting the earbuds still counts as “wireless” clearly came as a surprise to many consumers).
