I am probably going to buy the Sony XB950N1 Extra Bass Wireless Noise Cancelling headphones. I am a little worried that my IPod Touch might not be compatible as far as blue tooth connectivity is concerned because it is an older unit and cannot be updated to the latest IOS (which is in the 12 range and mine stopped in the 6 range). However, I have decided that I will try it and then decide whether or not it is worth upgrading my IPod or if I should just return the headphones for a refund.
So what is my point? Well, I thought that a discussion about wireless headphones might be beneficial because typically, product discussions at SimHQ tend to bring out very useful info when it comes to purchasing decision making. Can I get an AMEN? Just kidding.
So, what are your experiences with wireless headphones?
The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.

Amen! (Not kidding) It looks like you could use a wired connection if the Bluetooth doesn't work (small consolation) I have been using Paww WaveSound 3 Bluetooth 5.0 Over-Ear Travel Headphones Active Noise Cancelling with my Android phone to listen to music when I'm on the plane. I'm not an audiophile, so my satisfaction with them probably doesn't mean much to more discerning members. Affordably cancelling the engine noise while being able to enjoy some music was more important to me than audio specs. Good luck with your purchase!

I have some Bose 35s. They sound very good to my ears and are extremely comfortable.

Bose 35 II Qietcomfort. Served me well across the Atlantic, recently. Comfortable, good noise cancelling, no more high-pitched whine like an early model that I head. It can do Bluetooth, but also comes with a cable (however, no tri-plug airplane adapter, which was a bit of a let-down). Bose included one with the original 35s but deleted it from the 35 IIs. Silly really.

I am rolling with Jabra Elite wireless earpods. Can't go back to anything else after how comfortable and convenient these are.

May I suggest a solution for the ipod bluetooth connectivity?
Amazon does offer a small, about two inch square by quarter inch Bluetooth receiver/transmitter wireless 2-in-1 Audio adapter by esinkin that works with my old ipod and present TV and even my old Bose receiver amplifier or anything that has a headphone jack, including my computer, phone or tablet. I synch that up to my in-ear wireless headset and works just fine.
My headset is not noise-canceling, which I prefer, since I can still carry on a conversation and can tell when someone approaches me from behind when walking, it’s waterproof so I don’t worry about sweating, and very light.
Lost a bit of hearing on a T-37 engine and with this arrangement I can have my own volume control while she hears TV through the sound bar connection.
Fittop, I am going to upgrade my iPod because more and more apps will not work on IOS 6.1.6 (including the Sony Headphone Connect app) which my iPod is limited to. However, this device you are talking about still interests me. What is it? Do you have a link to it in Amazon or something? Thanks in advance.

Amazon has a $50 discount on the Bose 35II's so they're marked down to $300 from $350. I just snagged 2 pair for my wife and myself... :-)
