Is there a way to make my headphones wireless?

[JTKTR]

I have a really nice pair of shures and I want to be able use them wirelessly with my computer. Is there anywhere I can buy some sort of receiver to hook up to my computer for wireless audio?

 

[sdifox]

There is wireless transmitter and receivers but they ain't exactly cheap. And the cheap non pro ones suck.


Why not a long cable?


Here is a Creative one...

Buy a PMP and walk around with that instead.

You're probably using mobo audio, right? All the more reason to do so.

This. If you're just listening to music, it would more than likely be much more cost effective to just get a good MP3 player.

If you're trying to game, I'm not sure that there really is a good solution to this problem. As others have said, good wireless transmitters are expensive. So unless you want to deal with a long cable, there aren't really any other options.

Its primarily for videos etc to avoid waking my roommate. Not using onboard audio (but I imagine that doesn't matter when its being sent wirelessly it will be of a lesser quality no matter what). But the wireless receiver above looks pretty nice. Has anyone used it or can verify its quality?

so what is wrong with a long cable?

 

[Murloc]

a long cable is better and since you're stationary it's not a problem.
you'd be taking less risks too (what if you spend 100$ on something that sucks?).

 

[JTKTR]

right i understand. Just seems super inconvenient. If only there was a decent wireless receiver.

just pick up a pair of sennheiser wireless?

 

[JTKTR]

I had sennheisers for awhile but I couldn't lie on my side without distorting the sound in the compressed ear. Their great headphones, don't get me wrong, just sitting up while watching a 2 hour movie got tiresome.

I sound really picky in this thread...

 

[sdifox]

Cheapest solution is in fact ear plugs for room-mate.

watching movie lying down... what are you 12?

 

[JTKTR]

hahaha. yes. I am 12 ear plugs for roommate. Maybe ill slip them in while hes sleeping. Couldnt hurt to try...
