Wireless headphones are great, as long as you're sitting next to the receiver. Kind of ruins the point, right? '
If you move away, the signal degrades because you're using a traditional radio frequency broadcast, like an FM radio. (Not exactly, but it's an okay analogy for now).
Are there wireless headphones that connect digitally? Im thinking of one of either:
Do either of these exist? Googling for wifi headphones returns only "wireless headphones" results, and they're all RF wireless.

Are there wireless headphones that connect digitally? Im thinking of one of either:
- WIFI Headphones: Connect to your wireless network and let you stream directly to them through your home or office network? Kind of like AirPlay, I guess.
- Wireless Radio with a Digital Signal: Digital signals resist degradation and noise, so headphones that transmit their audio digitally would theoretically get better performance and signal strength than traditional RF wireless headphones, from a similarly powered base station.
