"OkayTech: Do decent wireless headphones exist?"


  

          

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.

till they improved it a bit more..when u use it to answer a call theres no feedback so its like u are underwater...u end up just yelling and dont even know it..plus i hear people having battery issues..but the touch gestures to change tracks is really dope...also when u take them off the music stops..

or i'd try 50's headphones they got that Clear technology that is better than bluetooth sound quality wise.
