I've been through 30 pairs of headphones in the past few years, and all the wireless ones (especially BT) sucked. Is there any chance of a high-end (HD600 to HD650-like quality) wireless headphone?
 
I've read that the reviews of Sennheiser's current flagship wireless cans, the RS220, suck. Which is really disappointing because I was going to pick one up.

The MX-W1 from Sennheiser is interesting, and I've heard mixed reviews on it. But wireless earphone just seem to be begging to be lost.

... But what's really interesting is that years back, Sennheiser apparently created a limited edition wireless version of the HD580/600 with an integrated DAC/AMP, called the IS850 for $1300. I can seem to barely find any research on it. There's one review on amazon, that's it.

It's pretty rare apparently, especially in like new condition, and I've been scouring the web trying to find one less than the asking price of this one ($799). Any thoughts on either the RS220 or IS850? Or should I just bite the bullet and shell out $799 for a wireless HD580/600 w/DAC and AMP?
