When wireless headphones are referred to as "analog", it means that the audio signal is directly frequency modulated (FM) on the wireless carrier rather than being digitally encoded.
One benefit of analog transmission is that there is no noticeable delay in the sound path. Many digital headphones compress the signal at the transmitter and decompress at the headphones. This processing takes time. Digital headphones can be horrible for use while playing guitar for example because you can play a note and not hear it for 100 milliseconds or more. Using these for television can cause lip syncing problems. However, for just listening to music, they're fine.
Analog headphones audio can be accompanied by distracting hiss if signal strength is weak or if other RF devices interfere with transmission. Sometimes placement of the transmitter or headphones is critical in eliminating this noise. Digital headphones can also have signal quality issues, but they tend to simply stop working rather than introduce hiss.
