    Default Wireless headphones

    I like the idea of wireless headphones, but the reality is that generally they appear unsatisfactory. Many use FM for the wireless link, and that often seems too noisy. I recently went into Maplin and saw some by a firm called Axconn, which work using digital communications rather than using FM. They seemed too cheap to be good, but at least the move away from FM is of interest.

    I wonder if any members here have found any good wireless headphones, and preferably not using FM.

    wireless headphones are horrable sounding and only integrate well with Bose.

    Pity.

    Have any of the headphone makers have any high-end wireless cans ?
    Sort of kills the thread, doesn't it ?

    It is likely the wireless link is going to use some kind of data compression or be compromised in another way unless hugely expensive. I suppose you need to decide if the convenience factor is more important than the quality of sound.

    You might have a look at products using the KLEER technology
    It works more or less like Bluetooth but instead of using MP3 it is able to send lossless audio (16/44.1 I believe is the max)
