Hey, I was just wondering what are some good options for sub 100 dollar/euro wireless headphones?

Preferably with a 3.5mm connector

You want wireless headphones with a 3.5mm connector...?

I don't have prior experience with wireless headphones, so don't know exactly how they work..

But I would like one that is wireless and I can plug into a 3.5mm port (so the headphone's hub would need to be connected via 3.5mm to my PC or whatever)

Is there a particular reason you want wireless? Most will use Bluetooth dongles so you'll either get or need to buy one, some use propriety dongles but that's rarer.

 

It's usually done over USB though, not seen many that have a 3.5mm jack as well (at least not for £60)

Wirless headphones invariably send a digital stream over to the headphones, which means that they are usually connected through USB or some other data interface. Digital to analog conversion happens in the headphones themeselves.

Because headphone wires are just annoying and I have a second desk I want to be able to access without having to take off my headphones.

 

 

Any recommendations for wireless USB headphones? Or do you have any wired headphone recommendations for around 60 euros/40 pounds?

I see, makes sense.

Cheapest (and safest) bet I can find is the Corsair Vengeance 2100 but that's around £60, you could pickup a pair of AT M30x's for £40'ish.

Have you looked at Thomann? I've used them multiple times for headphones and amps and they ship everywhere in the EU!
