    Wireless headphones

    Just dug out a set of fairly old infrared Sony headphones that dad had hidden away in the spare room.

    i quite like my phillips wireless headphones despite the fact i don't use em much

    the next step imo is wireless screens and tv's which is somethin i enquired in the hardware forum a while ago and apparently no-one has been able to crack it in any reasonably affordable way

    theres not much pointin wireless screens imo because they NEED a power cord - other devices are relatively low power.

    That and the fact it needs huge ammounts of data every second

    I've never bothered with Wireless headphones - mainly because of the quality loss. A normal headphone feedback system for stage use sets you back at least £200 without headphones ... the home ones are only £40, thats gotta be dumbed down technology - also infrared if you put your hand in the way you can't hear anything

    I have a "DigiSender Gold" transmitter/receiver kit which allows up to 4 devices to have (stereo) sound and pictures sent to TVs around my house, that's about as "wireless" as I think you can get.

    The slight drawback with these is that they can be susceptible to interference - most of the time you get rock-solid picture and crystal clear sound, but depending on the environment it is in you could get lines going up the screen and slight distortion of sound.

    They work on the X10 system so you can select one of 4 different frequencies to operate on if you encounter problems though - and I assume the X10 wireless camera systems could potentially broadcast their pictures through these so you can have selectable security camera images on your TV too

    It is handy having a DVD player downstairs along with the cable TV box, and being able to not only watch their output upstairs, but able to switch between them and control them from there too.

    Of course, if your neighbour happens to have X10 kit, you could pick up their transmissions by mistake!
    (Or vice versa, so bear in mind exactly where you put those wireless cams )

    yeah i had one of them for a while, they dont like wireless networks thou. handyish, but not hte most reliable piece of kit - the remote sending thingy was a bit unreliable, and the one i had couldnt cope with macrovision so no dvds (dunno if this is still a problem).
