Wireless-headphones-hero Preview models tested

We tested 7 sets of wireless headphones to see how they compared with their wired counterparts.

If sound quality is important to you, wired headphones are still superior. But if you're after greater portability and lack of wires, we found one wireless pair that stood out from the pack. Results for the rest ranged from adequate to awful.
