Wireless headphones and speakers. I know some already exist, but it would be pretty cool if you could get a lightweight headset, and just plug a transmitter into an iPod or something... and have a female reciever that you could plug speakers into, so you can use your iPod or other MP3 player or CD player to listen to music either on your speakers or your headphones. Maybe have different frequencies, and a switch on the transmitter to switch between speakers and headphones.

Too much $$ and not enough +-


Maybe someday. Unless you can make a radio trasnmitter than runs off of a AA battery and can trasnmit up to 30ft.

If anyone knows of anything like this, let me know. I would love to be able to mount small speakers in waterproof bags in my helmet and then stash an MP3 player safely in my kayak's storage compartment....

That already exists.

I have a similar one, different brand... good for long road trips. Now I need a car adapter for my MP3 player. :D

That's a crappy FM broadcaster... you still need a headset with a FM tuner to listen to your device.

My vote goes to "pocket-sized cell phone jammer with a 30 foot radius that I can take with me to the theatre".
