Hello,
I just searched a few dozen threads here and it looks like I need to ask my own question.
I seldom miss things that I lose but I really miss my wireless headphones. I could live with them on; zooming around the house, in the shop, on the porch, streaming radio or music or playing CDs on the computer. So, I need to get me a new set.
I would hope that the technology has improved in the last 15 years. It appears from what I have been able to find out, not much has improved relative to my requirements.
Here are my requirements: I would like the signal to be stable. Those old (was it 800 or 900 mHz?) jobs really weren't good enough. I need good sound but I don't expect tube-amplifier-silver-cable-diaphragms-made-from-angel-wings sound. I do not care about 5.1 or movies or games. In fact, I would consider them excessive capabilities. The headphones have to use nonproprietary batteries. They have to have replaceable cushions. They have to never break, which I know is possible.
Is anything in this list unreasonable? Unlikely maybe, but unreasonable?
Maybe what I need is a cell phone but I don't want a cell phone.
Any constructive ideas out there?
Thank you for the kindness of reading this.
