I was looking at wireless and really didn't find many good reviews for anything under $170. Some people gave them a good review but said they lasted 6 hours. I have the Eagle II's but think they will be prety sweaty when it gets warmer. I just broke my wired set of Sony stereo headphones on Sunday when I picked my head up and was kneeling on the cord. A problem I've also been having is that my display cover doesn't allow enough room for a straight standard jack. I just got a pair of Sony stereo (behind the head) headphones and am getting the right angle adapter to fit the 1/8" phones in the 1/4" plug to solve that problem. I think I am going to wait until the technology can last for an all day hunt. Let us know what you find. We would appreciate the reviews.

Having had the strain relief on my headphones break last year, and having had one of the wires finally give out last weekend, meaning, of course, that I had to buy a new plug and resolder the wires... this discussion has renewed interest to me. Time to go research the cordless options!

I don't know if I would be as critical about the sound quality from the headphones for meal detecting as what some of the reviews are on them, unless of course I was going to use them for music. Just my 2 cents. I think I would be more worried about lag if any, lag would sure make pinpointing more difficult.

Default Probably fine

Those look like the sonys I got. But you still need this:

Newegg.com - Jabra A120S Bluetooth stereo for everyone - Bluetooth Cell Phone Accessories
And a Radio Shack gold plated 1/8" to 1/4" phone plug adaptor.

I order from Newegg all the time too. Build machines for my clients.

Don't know why i need the jabra....I believe the headset come with the bluetooth transmitter, but your right about 1/8 to 1/4 adapter
