    Wireless headphones

    i am planning to buy wireless headphones for the primary reason so as not to disturb my fussy neighbors. i have 2 questions:

    1. how do u normally connect them wireless headphones? thru the TV's audio jack? or can you connect it thru the optical or caoxial output of your surround sound system?

    2. what wireless headphones can you guys recommend? (i have a 42" Sony Bravia Full-HD TV, a small studio flat and a budget of £50-£100 maximum).

    Wireless headphones simply plug into the headphone out of your hifi or TV (or anything else you want). You couldn't directly connect it to an optical ouput without a DAC although if your optical connection is going to an AV Amp then you could connect it to the headphone output of that.

    As far as recommendations go - they are all as bad as each other tbh, none sound very good at all in my experience. The AKG ones are meant to be the best of the worst!

    i got these a few years back (wow, like 6 now!).

    very old now, but the quality i found perfectly acceptable. I wouldn't even begin to describe it as bad.

    Quite light weight too, and the IR never dropped out. I've still got them nocking about, the battery life is still really good to.

    I don't know what their current ones are like, but as long as they've not lost the plot, i'd have a look at their current offerings.

    These cost me £150 when i bought them, but that wasn't even this millienium, so i'd expect them too be a lot cheaper now.
