I would recommend only bluetooth models which will run you about 150 dollars! There are no FM transmitters on the market that even compare to quality and range.

Those both seem to be rf type so you might run into problems. I am the complete oppisite of an expert here, so take it as that, but basically what these do is use fm radio frequency and are intended to work between the frequencys of the local radio stations (Or I think I have seen some that work just below or above). Problem is you may get massive interference from local radio stations. I havent tried any really expensive ones, but have yet to have tried a pair that didnt at some point or another get interference (even if most of the time they worked really well). Further, the transmision power of rf ones might be limited (they are not allowed to interfere with the radio stations).
Anyway, THE C.'s statment makes sence based on that and what I know of it. Bluetooth works on a dedicated frequency range designed for data transmission (I think all bluetooth works on digital signals even if they are music or voice). Thats why I was interested in the frys ones (never owned a bluetooth headset or headphones, but I would certainly like to try some). I supose that more expensive rf ones might use a digital signal, but there are still interference issues. I'm kind of wondering about the second set you linked to though. maybe they are ir (have to have line of sight), with rf backup for line of sight interuptions?

Wrong. Those radio-frequency wireless headphones do not operate in the normal FM radio band! Instead, they operate in the 900MHz frequency range, which is shared with garage door openers and some other wireless devices (including some mobile phone service and some cordless land-line telephone handsets). And trust me, you will occasionally get interference from other devices due to such sharing.

Have you gone to your local Best Buy to chekc out the wireless headset they have? I seen some from 62 to 100 dollars or so? But you should go look there and get a feel of what they are like and give them a test.

Hassle wow...I would complain but that depends on the situation...but you can at least just go and check to see what they have for wireless headphones...I might buy one just cause I hate having a long cord from my computer to my chair to listen to music or listen to DVDs I play on my computer.

In addition, Best Buy no longer allows you to demo headphones in the store (with the exception of a couple of Bose headphones, which are always connected to the same audio unit inside the Bose display) -- and any display samples of wireless headphones at that superstore chain are non-functioning.

Well if that is true but you can always return them if they don't work satisfactory to your needs...but you can always go there and look at the models to see what they have to offer in your way of needs....

I guess it must very from brand to brand. I just looked at the pair I got (only happy with them for the price as they were cheap, but I'm looking for something better), and they are 49.85MHz. Strange thing is that while that is below broadcast fm radio range by quite a bit, I have gotten music interference on them before (I pick up music from another source). MAybe its someone else with wireless headphones lol.
