Sennheiser RS-40 Wireless Headphones

[Spark2Life]

I have been looking at wireless headphones for awhile and ran across this deal. Looks pretty good to me, but being a newbie I could be wrong. I did a quick search and did not see anything posted...

I got the RS-45's on ebay brand new for 49.99 with like 15 bucks shipping. I figure they're similar.

Good headphones with no interference yet, but the ratio between charge and usage is kinda annoying. 3 hours or something on time with no auto-shutoff.

Wireless cans come in 4 flavors, what I've found out so far -
IR - LOS only
49Mhz - Short range, good for TV and telephone reception, radio shack
900Mhz - fairly good, but still not great
2.4Ghz - pretty darn good and pretty darn expensive
see here .
Good price.

Here has them for $46.55 if you go via google.
These use AAA batteries, thus might be better.
2 bad I bought the Sennheisers already.

Yea but 46.55 plus 10 bucks shipping is more than $49.99 free shipping =)

Do any RF wireless headphones work around computers? I had a pair of IR ones my freshman year of college that I loved, but they broke, and I wasn't able to find another pair. So I bought a pair of RF headphones instead (forget what frequency), and I got all kinds of interference. They worked as long as I didn't have them in the same room as a PC, but that was why I wanted them - listening to MP3s without having to use my speakers - and without being tethered to the computer by a cord.

I have Sennheiser HDR-4 headphones I bought several years ago.
I love them !

They work just fine when I'm at the computer -- gets unpleasantly staticky when I go downstairs. I think they are the 900mHz.
My worry was interference with 900 mHz phone -- no problems that I can tell.

Hope this gives perspective on interference.
