Thinking of going wireless on headphones, a few questions!

Friends,

Thinking of investing in wireless headphones. A few questions ,I don't keep up with this tech at all , don't laugh!

Will I be able to use my current non bluetooth MP3 player with its audio Jack and a set of wireless headphones ? I mean do these headphones come with some sort of connection that goes into the audio jack on a device that transmits signal to the headphones ? If not do these exist and can they be purchased?

My laptop "has bluetooth" as far as I can tell . I can add bluetooth devices somehow and it has that bluetooth icon the blue background with the white symbol on the task bar.

So would I be able to use the laptop with the wireless headphones? , and stupid question number 3 will I have to have Internet connection to do so or is this entirely independent of that?

your help much appreciated

They don't come with a transmitter but you should be able to buy a transmitter to use with the mp3 player.

It will work with your laptop & you don't need Internet.

Wireless headphones will work with the laptop but not the mp3 player.

You can get a Bluetooth adapter for the mp3 player if you want

Do you lose any sound quality with wireless or is it just as good?

You wont loose any sound quallity - Given you are listening to Mp3 which has allready been very compressed you wont notice any difference

Yes. That's the same idea. I have no idea what the quality is like as I don't own one myself

There are some great quality wireless earphones on the market now, so you don't need to spend a lot of money to get a good sounding pair.

I use Samsung Buds myself and find them excellent.

I got the Anker Liberty 3 Pro buds this week and they seem very good so far. The multipoint connection is very handy. €170, which is the most I have ever paid for earbuds.

The adapters listed above are only for receiving BT signals.

You need a BT transmitter to plug into your MP3 player.
