Wireless headphone thread

[Dusty Chalk]

Sony released these back in April:

The MDR-RF4000K:

Also, the MRD-RF810RK (which looks to already be superceded by something).

What caught my attention was one particular spec: 2.4GHz. That's the digital transmission. So I'd be curious if anyone heard this, or if we have a serious contender for a wireless headphone yet.

There isn't much in the way of reviews on it out there. My experiences with older wireless makes

me not trust them to be reliable. Digital just means instead of hiss/noise it will just drop in and out of service.

The 2.4ghz spectrum is already chock full of toys out there.

I imagine these would cut out whenever my microwave is on, it manages to kill my wifi in the same room.

Depends on the frequency, microwaves operate around 2.4GHz which happens to be quite close to the frequencies used by various wireless devices. You can try finding something that operates at a different frequency band to minimize interference.

...if we have a serious contender for a wireless headphone yet.

Not full-sized but weren't Sleek Audio's wireless IEM solution thought to be pretty good? I'm fairly sure I've seen it modified to work with other IEM's as well, not sure about full-sized though.
