I wear hearing aids - and use a wireless behind the ear... Avantree Bluetooth Bone Conduction Headset. Recommended by my audiologist.

Sennheiser is a well-trusted brand, so I'd have to go with that.

Have never used them. The only things I have put inside my ears were ear plugs. They were mandatory on the machine jobs I worked for 33 years. That and hearing tests mandatory every 6 months.

Back in the early '60's I did put ear muffs over my ears that I had connected to my cassette player. Used them to relax before I left home to play my hockey games.

Today I prefer my 5.1 and 7.2 Surround Sound Systems to listen to my music. Workout music I have a 2 subwoofers and 9 speakers set up on my 7.2 Surround System. Pick my music and away I go. 🏎

iFrogz blue tooth ear buds that charge inside their case. Best purchase I ever made. QVC had a two-fer before Christmas, so I gave the other pair to my nephew. I use mine all the time.

There are many wireless headphones on the market today.

Apple and Samsung are introducing new products soon.

You will find jabras along with Sennhisher products.

Sennheiser Momentums do not charge wireless, but have wonderful sound.

LOL, I am still an old wired headphone girl.

I received a pr of USB-C AKG wired earbuds with my new smartphone.

The AKG are made by Harmon-Kardon, and Samsung owns the company.

Amazon sells these as oem's for $25. The sound quality is great. Ello-Gear makes this headphone with a 3.5 mm connector or $19.

You should be able to find many reviews to help you select a product.

Feature rich earbuds tend to be expensive.

@Nuttmeg , I have Beats, Bose and Sony Bluetooth. I saw apple pods for $188 Canadian at Costco and was tempted but then though why? I don't really need them and it probably means there is new version coming with better features.

I am not really that impressed with Beats sound but like the ease of connectivity with Apple products. I had a gift card so I bought them. Not sure I would have gotten them otherwise. I like Bose and Sony sound better. LM

Hello,

I just received these headphones but am not sure bout a couple of things. I wish they had come with a booklet eplaining a few things. I read that you listen to TV with them. How do I do that. What do I need in order to hear TV with them? So far, I only use then to talk on the phone.

Can you help please? Thanks in advance.

@keithsmom65 To use the headset to listen to TV you either need a Bluetooth ready TV or you can use a streaming device like Fire TV Stick or Roku that is Bluetooth ready.

My TV doesn’t have Bluetooth but I use a Fire TV Stick to stream TV shows and it has Bluetooth. I just paid the headset with the Fire TV Stick under Bluetooth in settings.

Will either of these work for you?
