WIRELESS HEADPHONES
 Wireless headphones work by connecting, or pairing with the device you want to use.
 Many devices use Bluetooth technology to make connecting easier for the users devices with
Bluetooth technology can connect and exchange data over very short distances using radio
transmissions
BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES
USES:
 Bluetooth technology makes mobile phones more functional, with handy little ear bud
headsets that are completely wireless and allow for hands-free answering and talking on the
mobile phone. In fact, Bluetooth wireless technology has made many electronic components
wireless and far surpasses infrared in its usefulness and practicality.
 Bluetooth is a high-speed, low powered wireless link technology that is designed to connect
phones or other portable equipment together with little to no work required by the user.
 Bluetooth technology does not require line of site positioning to work.
 From a technical standpoint, Bluetooth is very different indeed. It is the best wireless method
in the world, surpassing even infrared. For communication on the go, Bluetooth is indeed very
hard to compete with.
ADVANTAGES:
 Wireless
 Inexpensive
 Automatic
 Standardised Protocol = Interperability
 Low Interference
 Low Energy Consumption
 Instant Personal Area Network
 Upgradeable
WIRELESS
 If you navigate through the rest of our site you will learn that there are tons of
advantages/benefits when using wireless devices. In addition to improving safety as a result of
eliminating the clutter of wires and associated hazardous connections, wireless technology
also offers many convenient advantages.
For example:
When you are traveling with your laptop, PDA, MP3 player and other devices, you no
longer have to worry about bringing along all of your connecting cables.
INEXPENSIVE
 Bluetooth technology is cheap for companies to implement, which results in lower over-all
manufacturing Costs. These savings are then passed on to you, the consumer. The end result:
Bluetooth devices are relatively inexpensive.
AUTOMATIC
 Bluetooth doesn’t require you to think about setting up a connection or to push any buttons.
When two or more Bluetooth devices enter a range (Up to 30 feet) of one another, they
automatically begin to communicate without you having to do anything.
 Once the communicating begins, Bluetooth devices will setup Personal Area Networks or
Piconets. The best part is: The devices take care of the entire setup process, and you can go
about your business.
STANDARDISED PROTOCOL =
INTERPERABILITY
 Since Bluetooth is a standardized wireless specification, a high level of compatibility among
devices is guaranteed. The Bluetooth specification uses and defines various profiles.
 Every Bluetooth profile is specific to a particular function. For instance, when a Bluetooth
enabled cell phone and a Bluetooth headset (Both with the same profile) are communicating
with one another, both will understand each other without the user having to do anything, even
if the devices are of different models/makes.
LOW INTERFERENCE
Bluetooth devices avoid interference with other wireless devices by:
a) Using a technique known as spread-spectrum frequency hopping, and
b) Using low power wireless signal
LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION
 As stated above, Bluetooth uses low power signals. As a result, the technology requires little
energy and will therefore use less battery or electrical power. Obviously, this is a great benefit
for mobile devices because Bluetooth won’t drain the life of your device’s battery.
INSTANT PERSONAL
NETWORK (PAN)
 Up to seven compatible Bluetooth devices can connect to one another within a proximity of up
to 30 feet, forming a PAN or piconet. Multiple piconets can be automatically setup for a single
room.
IPGRADEABLE
 The Bluetooth standard is upgradeable. A development group at the Bluetooth Special Interest
Group (SIG) has been given the task of working on the new Bluetooth version 2, which offers
several new advantages and is backward compatible with the older versions.
