What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special tracking URLs that allow us to earn a commission when you click through and make a purchase. These links help us identify that a sale came from our site, and the retailer pays us a small percentage of the sale as a referral fee.
Important: Using our affiliate links does not cost you anything extra. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer’s website.
Affiliate Programs We Participate In
Best Bluetooth Headphones is a participant in various affiliate marketing programs, including but not limited to:
- Amazon Associates – We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated international Amazon sites (Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca, Amazon.de, etc.)
- Retailer Affiliate Programs – We participate in affiliate programs with various electronics retailers including Best Buy, B&H Photo, Adorama, Walmart, Target, and others
- Manufacturer Affiliate Programs – We may participate in affiliate programs directly with headphone manufacturers such as Sony, Bose, Sennheiser, Audio-Technica, JBL, and others
- Affiliate Networks – We work with affiliate networks such as ShareASale, Commission Junction (CJ), Impact, Rakuten Advertising, and others
How Affiliate Links Work
Here’s how the process works:
- You click on a product link or button on our site
- You are redirected to the retailer’s website (e.g., Amazon, Best Buy)
- You browse and shop normally – the price remains the same
- If you make a purchase, we may earn a small commission
- The commission is paid by the retailer, not by you
Note: In many cases, we earn a commission even if you purchase a different product than the one we linked to, as long as you complete the purchase during the same browsing session after clicking our link.
Our Editorial Independence
We Do Not Let Commissions Influence Our Reviews
Our affiliate relationships do not affect our editorial content or recommendations. Here’s our commitment to you:
- Honest Reviews – We provide truthful, unbiased reviews based on our actual testing and experience
- Commission Doesn’t Determine Rankings – We don’t recommend products based on which ones pay higher commissions. We recommend products based on performance, value, and quality
- We Criticize When Necessary – If a product has flaws, we point them out – even if it means you won’t buy it through our affiliate link
- We Test Before We Recommend – Every product we recommend has been personally tested by our team
- Budget Options Included – We include budget-friendly options even if they have lower or no affiliate commissions
No Pay-for-Play
We do not accept payment from manufacturers or retailers to:
- Write positive reviews
- Rank products higher in our lists
- Exclude competing products
- Guarantee coverage or recommendations
If we receive a review unit from a manufacturer, it does not guarantee positive coverage. We maintain full editorial independence.

Sponsored Content vs. Affiliate Content
Affiliate Content
Most of our content contains affiliate links but is not sponsored. We independently decide what to write about and which products to recommend.
Sponsored Content
On rare occasions, we may publish sponsored content where a brand pays us to create an article. When this happens:
- It is always clearly labeled as “Sponsored,” “Paid Partnership,” or “Advertisement”
- We maintain editorial control and honest opinions
- We only work with brands whose products we believe in

- Prices may change without notice
- Sale prices and discounts may expire
- Stock availability may vary
- Prices may differ based on your location or retailer
We recommend verifying the current price and availability on the retailer’s website before making a purchase.
Amazon Affiliate Disclaimer
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

International Readers
We provide affiliate links to retailers in multiple countries when possible (e.g., Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca). The specific retailers available may vary based on your location.
