Hello everyone. So. I was in a dire need of a new pair of headphones. Some GOOD ones. I made the enormous and honestly quite embarrassing blunder of buying the amazing audio-technica ath r70x. Problem is i only use wireless connection to my smartphone. Stupid I know, I know! I was too excited... Anyways. Do any of you guys have a work-around via some other equipment of sorts (what kind i have simply no idea - it's only I bought thisbpair so it's a bit of a shame to return them) or is it simply best to just get a new pair?

If that is so, would any kind person recommend a fantasticular pair for me headphone needs? I'm somewhat lost in this sea of information and apparently noticeable differences between headphones I never knew existed. I'm not an audiophile but I do appreciate and recognize high quality.

Thanks for any reply to this, i need to remedy this situation and good day.

So your ATH don’t support a wired connection? Do they have a 3.5 jack on them? If not I’m guessing they have a usb-c for charging? Wondering if you can use that for audio

Hi mam thanks for the reply. Hm maybe I wasn't that clear. Call it sleep deprived with 2 kids I don't know but what i meant to say was. I can not use headphones with a cable. It has to be wireless. It is way to impractical since I can't sit down stationary style during the day and night. So a more pronounced question wouæe be, is there some nifty workaround where I can keep the headphones so they somehow can receive sound from the headphone, or is that just total bollocks. Hope that clarifies some stuff. If not let me know.

Ahh okay. I just looked and unfortunately that headphones has a cable into each cup doesn’t it. I’m guessing you don’t want to have the cable wrapped around your neck and plugged into a Bluetooth adapter. So it may be worth seeing if they make a shorter cable for that headphone, and then you could buy a Bluetooth adapter/dongle that you’d plug the cable into

Holy macaroni all those spelling mistakes. I apologize. I'm glad you got the jist of it. That is a solution you have there and yeah you did guess right. I like to jam out with my music while I go around and do stuff A LOT so a cable just seems like a matter of time before it turns into a noose that will turn my head blue if I'm not careful haha. But thanks man I'll think about it.

Couldn't you just not do that and plug them in instead using a dongle?

I guess I haven't honestly thought of that. The cable will still be a pain practically speaking. Will have to decide if that's worth "the hassle".. Will there be a loss of sound quality, do you know? If it's "too much" i think it'd be a shame to use such headphones, maybe.

No, wired is generally the preferred connection and a lot of the dongles are very cheap and offer great quality. What phone do you use?

Oh well that's great news. It does indeed seem like I just have to make up with myself if I can live with the cable. Hm... I use 1+ 8 pro.
