Are you sure they are cordless? They can come with a cord and still be portable, though on a leash. Cordless is "inalámbrico".

: "inalámbrico" usually only for phones in Europe (not "cellular")

In America we use it for "cordless" anything. Just want to make sure that an overly specific term is not used if not warranted, and "portable" is all it says to me.
