The next question people ask is whether wireless headphones can be used on any device, and if so, how they differentiate sounds from different devices in the same room. The answer is quite simple. With infrared mode of transmission, the signal is transmitted in the form of an optical signal, which has to be converted to sound by the headphone set. Most SkullCandy wireless headphones use the Bluetooth signal for transmission. Most headphones are provided with a band that allows the user to wear them over the head. These are usually heavy, therefore wearing them any other way will not provide the necessary support. All these properties are necessary to help you determine which type of headphone will suit your music listening style. For example, if you like listening to music while lying down, the behind-the-head style will not be appropriate.
These in-ear headphones are often bundled with iPods and other MP3 players and can simply be placed in a pocket. Another type of headphones, which are larger than in-ear headphones, sit on the ear and include an elastic frame which either sits on the head or wraps around the neck. The range of Bluetooth headphones is usually less than 30 ft, and the sound quality does not rival the quality of corded headphones. Some digital wireless headphones work at the less crowded 5.8 GHz frequency band. This band provides less competition from other wireless devices compared to the 2.4 GHz band.
