I am not a very mechanical guy. But it seems to me that someone could wire up wireless technology (transmitter/receiver) that could connect to a stereo the way wireless headphones connect. . . and then have a receiver that can accept headphones of any brand. Is it out there? I realize that the quality of the headphones would not sound as good as if it plugged directly into the source. But, I'd love to have some kind of receiver hooked to my belt that I could just plug a set of Etymotic's into. . . and also be able to use them as my portable phones. The bulkyness of wireless headphones and the way the slide off of my head is what bugs me even more than the bad sound quality.

It seems like the technology is out there. I mean how different is this than the technology that allows me to plug a transmitter into my guitar amp and hook the reciever to my belt and plug my guitar into it.

Would a guitar set up work for stereos and headphones?

What am I missing?
Thank you,
Daniel

welcome to head-fi, sorry about the wallet

(as they say here)

i think there's an article about how to build what you're looking for at www.headwize.com somewhere. as for the guitar setup thing, i'm guessing that it only transmits mono and not stereo. anyways... good luck.

I would *love* something like this also. I have a pair of HFI-550 Beatmasters that I want to make wireless.

they need to make headphones that utilize on-the-fly 320kbit mp3 encoding/decoding and 802.11a/g
that way you may get a few ms of lag, but the quality would be perfect.
