Making Your Headphones Wireless?

Chuck Chunder asks: "I've recently been looking at getting some wireless headphones of the RF rather than infra-red variety. After looking around for a bit it struck me that I don't actually want a whole new set of headphones. I already have a nice pair of headphones as well as earphones. What I really want is an RF transmitter and a small clip on receiver that I can plug my existing headphones/earphones into. The problem is, I can't find anyone selling what I am describing, even geeky places don't quite have what I'm looking for. Does anyone know/have experience of such a product?"

"I see several advantages to this:

• Adaptability: I can then use earphones/headphones as appropriate for the activity, or possibly use it as an RF link between hardware in different rooms
• Replacability: If I damage the headphones I only have to replace them, not the whole headphone/receiver unit; this bit will hopefully lead to...
• Lower costs

Has anyone seen something like this, before?"

Well I got the ones from ThinkGeek and they are ok. Good output, but the range is only about 20 feet. They also seem to loose the freq just a little bit every time you turn them off and on and you have to do a little minor ajustment to the knobs...nothing wrong with a little knob wiggle. Ok, where was I, ho yea. They are pretty good but are a bit on the heavy side and can start to droop. They are also only for people with somewhat larger bennies. Put these on your typcial 115 pound girlfriend and your more likely to hear Jewel on the speaks instead of the headphones, which if like me was the reason you got the damn things in the first place.

Sony has some that seem to be just a tad bit better, lighter, longer range.

enjoy.
