Hi Alex.
Thanks for all the information you have provided but ear-buds are not for me
I'm thinking. I'd be afraid of loosing one of them and I don't wish to prevent
friends in a pub from talking to me.
My favourite headphones are Senhiezer, pardon the spelling, and they are about
£55.00 but have a cable, but they are of a high quality and fold up into a
pocket.
I just thought that perhaps cable-less phones would be the way to go and I take
your point about referring to them as £"Bluetooth" headphones.
You've given me much to consider so thanks very much for your help.
Very best wishes.
Andy.

For the record, you're looking for bluetooth headphone, not wifi. Just so
your interactions with sales people go more smoothly.
As to which to buy, that depends on a number of factors. Apple's AirPods are
quite popular, and will pair with your iPhone automatically. Once paired, you
can use them on your Mac with no additional pairing needed. They sound good and
don't even have a cable connecting the two earbuds, letting you keep them in a
small case (which also charges them) in your pocket without fear of cables
getting crimped or tangled. However, they don't block out ambient noise, and
their onboard playback controls are very limited compared to others.
There are tons of other options. Earbuds, over-ear headphones, and more, all
bluetooth. Some block a lot of sound rather like earplugs, others don't. Some
have a cords, others don't. Some have great playback controls, some have less,
some have none. Some are $25, some are then times that. Honestly, the best
thing to do is to look online for recent bluetooth earbuds reviews and find
some you really like, always assuming you don't just go for the AirPods.
Incidentally, rumor has it that new AirPods will be released this year, so if
you want some, you might want to get a cheap pair of earbuds and wait to see if
AirPods get updated.

Hi all.
When in a pub or cafe trying to get used to my 2014 Macbook Pro, I am very
much aware of the voice-over sounds around me whichenables others to pay
attention in what I'm doing.
I'm soon to visit the Apple store in Glasgow for help with an Iphone and
was wondering if I could possible also purchase a pair of small comfortable
wireless headphones and get them paired to my Macbook.
Never having had such an item, I'm not sure of what to ask for and how much
I'd likely have to pay.
Any advice including brand recommendations and pairing would help me a lot.
Thanks.
Very best wishes.
