2759960, OkayTech: Do decent wireless headphones exist? Posted by spew120, Fri Nov-30-12 09:53 AM
So, the last time I tried out wireless headphones was half a decade ago, and my experience was horrible. The pair functioned by sending audio via radio waves and was *supposed* pick up on the audio, but I was more likely to pick up on my neighbor's wireless phone audio than I was my own. Even when the headphones picked up on the proper frequency, the sound quality was absolutely horrendous and there was easily a 5-7 second lag.
So, now that technologies like bluetooth are old-hat, has anyone made a set of wireless headphones that have a decent response range?
I currently use a pair of Grado SR-60s, and I'm not expecting anything that matches their quality. But, I'm not about to fuck with Dr. Dre designer headphones, or that Skullcandy trash. I dig Sennheiser and Koss as well.
It's meant to be a gift for my dad, who loves listening to music, but hates having to sit in front of the computer to do it.
