Wireless studio quality headphones?

[Paulie]

If I had a dollar for every time my headphone cable snagged on something I wouldn't need to write cues for money.

Has anyone tried wireless headphones that sound ok? I was looking at these but haven't found a place where I can give a listen: http://bit.ly/28OV8ub

By the brand name I would think they're probably decent quality.
Interesting that the one review of them is from someone using them with their TV entertainment.
Waiting for a reply to your question from someone who is using them for studio work.

Accidentally stepping on, or rolling a chair's wheels over headphone cable...
while wearing them... aint fun.
Been there - done that. Fortunately haven't broken anything.... yet.

Radio frequency is more powerful. Wireless headphones that use radio frequency (like the Sony MDRRF985RK pictured above) can work at ranges of up to 150 feet, and the signal can pass through walls, so is usable with a home stereo as well as a TV. Interference is an issue: it increases with distance, and other wireless devices that use the same frequency range (typically 800-900MHz) can also cause it. RF also isn’t secure in the way that Bluetooth is.

If you had some sort of retractable tether attached to the headphone cable anchored to the ceiling on a swivel if necessary,lol!

I have a set of Kinivo on-ears that are fairly neutral; they're rechargeable via USB but they don't push a huge amount of level. Battery time is pretty good, though, about 6-10 hours depending on the bass content/listening level. They're also not too goofy looking, and no antennae that make you look like My Favorite Martian. They're Bluetooth and certainly capable enough for overdubs; I've only mixed a few tracks with them but they translated very well.

I also have a compact wireless FM transmitter (runs on two AAs) with about a 100 ft range; (the Bluetooth says 35, but it's more like 20) you can use any self-contained (meaning they have an onboard tuner) headphones that receive FM. Some cell phones can receive FM, and that works too, with some earbuds. Due to FCC regulations, it's kinda hard to get a very hot signal without using multiband compression upstream from the transmitter, but it did work, in a pinch, for a tracking session where I had musicians located all over the joint; both bedrooms, the bathroom, the garage-but I certainly wouldn't trust it for mixing.

The Sennheisers in your link probably do a much better job; I wouldn't be afraid to try 'em, at that price point, IF they're digital. The trouble with FM is the trouble with any non-digital wireless system: companding circuitry, the quality of which can vary greatly. You can't make valid decisions about levels, EQ or compression, when you don't know what your wireless is adding/subtracting.

Or construction workers using portable power saws that keep cutting the cord in two. No, wait, no ceilings yet to anchor to!
