Wireless Headphones

[Prospero]

Anyone know of some good wireless headphones? I also am interested in the ones that can do surround sound. I read something on them a while back, but can't remember who makes them.

Sennheiser makes excellent headphones. I know they have some infrared wireless systems, but these require line-of-sight to the transmitter. They may also have some RF (radio frequency) types.

As for surround, it doesn't work well with headphones. The effect is quite dependent upon the listener's ability to move his head in a fixed soundfield.

There are various psychoacoustic tricks that can enhance the listening experience. I suspect "Lucas" uses some of them.

I have a process that will convince you there are speakers behind you when there only are two in front. I haven't tried it through headphones, but I suspect having the sources bolted to your body diminshes its effectiveness.
