I've grown tired of faulty headphone extension cords. Now I'm thinking about going wireless perhaps? I'm aware of three different types of transmission in this area. IR = short range and line of sight, but zero radio interference. 900MHZ - no line of sight required, can go through walls and such, longer range, but very vulnerable to hiss and other noises or interference. 2.4xxxxMHZ - less vulnerable to hiss and other interference. I'm not sure I'd be happy with IR and I know that hiss and other interference would really drive me nuts. I also wonder just how good wireless headphones are in sound quality. I currently have a pair of Sennheiser HD511 cans that I really like. Not from the top shelf, but very good for the dollar! Anyone here use or have used wireless headphones? Thoughts?
 
Thanks, but not a Bose fan myself. I guess headphones of any type are not used around here much at all. In my looking around I also see that there is not much choice for wireless headphones anyway, so back to the drawing board for me. I don't use headphones much myself, just occasionally, so I now figure that I'll just keep buying extension cables as they aren't costly anyway.

I went down the hunt for wireless path. It never worked out.
I ended up buying a long Headphone cable. (I mean long.)

Yes, I'm sticking with the long cable myself. I won't find a wireless set that will come near matching my Sennhiser HD115s or is it 515s, oh to hell with model numbers!
 
I recommend to take a look at sony mdr 1rbt. It's look great, and sound better compared to the Bose.
