Headphoneus Supremus
Hey just a quick share with this thread, I managed to come up with an inexpensive $80 wireless surround setup to pair with BT headphones. It works great for movies, games, although not so much music because I'm spoiled with a better wired. However movies and games, this thing works fantastic.

I've made an inexpensive rig to pair with BT headphones as a gaming headphone. You can make it even cheaper by using a cheap BT headset like a Creative for around $50. I'm sure the sound quality level is not up to par with wired but it's very close and super convenient with freedom to move around.
Chain looks like this: (links for each item)
Gaming console < optical cable > Turtle Beach DSS (1 or 2) ($15-$20 Ebay openbox) < 3.5mm interconnect > Avantree BT low-latency transmitter ($56 Amazon) > your choice of BT headphone (mine is a modded MDR-XB950BT)
Total rig without headphone is ~$80 plus optical cable if you don't have one. The freedom to move around with surround is super convenient specially when using in a living room. The low-latency is crucial to making the rig, if you use a standard transmitter latency is usually around 300-400ms whereas low-latency is 25-30ms, hardly noticeable from a direct speaker out.
