Embodiments of wireless audio systems and methods for synchronizing wireless headphones are disclosed herein. In one example, a wireless audio system includes an audio source, a first wireless headphone, and a second wireless headphone. The audio source is configured to separately transmit a left-channel audio signal and a right-channel audio signal using a short-range wireless communication protocol. The first wireless headphone is configured to receive the left-channel audio signal and synchronize a first clock of the first wireless headphone with the audio source based on the left-channel audio signal. The second wireless headphone is configured to receive the right-channel audio signal and synchronize a second clock of the second wireless headphone with the audio source based on the right-channel audio signal, so that the first clock of the first wireless headphone is synchronized with the second clock of the second wireless headphone.
