If your wireless headphones have static, it's time to buy another pair.

Wireless that is. Don't get corded ones. That's old technology.

I love the wireless, but I think the problem is with electrical interference at this location. Apartment living at it’s best,,ha.

My wireless speakers and headphones have been nothing but headaches. Between fast battery drain and Bluetooth getting fussy about pairing, I was happy to go back to corded, a cheap Logitech headset for remoting in to work meetings, and apple lightning connector ear buds for iPod/iPhone Podcasts/Audiobooks/Music.

Sometimes "old" technology is the right choice.

Cord is all I use. But I have my reasons.

On a side note, I sold VCR’s back in the late 70’s and early 80’s. When the new cordless remote models came out, we were trying to get rid of all the models that used cords. My big sales pitch was that with a cord you don’t lose the remote.

I sold a ton of those things. Got a $50 spiff for every one. :)

Looking back at the last 40 years of remote use. I think my line was a lot more than just a sales pitch. It is true.

I have messed with cordless headphones for a long time and never liked them. It’s mostly because I don’t like using batteries and/or losing things. I use ear buds in my car and in-ear monitors in my bands. I use over-ear headphones when using the computer, using my recording studio software, etc. None of it is cordless and I really don’t mind the cord. I also don’t have to worry about losing the ear buds. or stepping on them in the car.
