Wireless / Bluetooth headphones?

[premiumplus]

Hey guys,
Is there a set of wireless headphones out there in the $100-$200 range that sound good?
My wife wants a set and I was thinking of getting her some for Christmas, and they are primarily for her computer.
The problem is that I've spoiled her with my WOPL powered stereo and she now demands quality sound like I do, so they will need to sound good.
Thanks!

Nothing?

Nobody has any experience with wireless headphones, or are ya all pissed at me?

Dave: I would check CNET for opinions. I purchased a pair of Sonys for my son for a Christmas present three years ago, that work fine, today.

I own the Sony's on that CNET page:

Tried Beats. They sucked.
Tried the Bose and they exhibited a strange interference with my phone; the connection would get randomly disrupted.
They did sound good though and they are super light weight. Plus that battery is removable making them serviceable down the road
and they can be plugged in directly with a cable if one wants skip the wireless option at times. They are Bose though, so the price
will reflect that because of the Bose name. Sometimes the Bose site has them on sale for a better price - as reconditioned.

Pretty much gave up on BT headphones after repeated let-downs until Best Buy had a blow-out sale on the Sony's so I gave them a try.
The Sony's are comfortable, have great battery life and have easy controls on them.
Sony's SQ is above average IMHO but BT isn't completely up-to-snuff on high fidelity compared to wired setups with a headphone amp,
so don't expect too much from which ever kind you buy Dave and you'll be fine.

I have read good things about the Parrot's but they are stupid expensive.

Thanks, guys! I checked them out, Koss also has a BT540i that looks interesting, but I've heard that Koss has been going down lately. Unsure about that one, and it's brand new, just released. The Sony looks like the hot one so far, but the best price I can find is $199.

If you want my honest opinion: Wireless or Bluetooth..., leave em for what they are.
Never heard a pair of those that really sounded good.

I was given a pair of Sennheizer HDR 126. They have a novel charging system. I thought they sounded OK. (I also listen to my iPOD, and people would say that isn't real music reproduction.) My biggest complaint with them and the reason I don't use them as much as I could, is that they are heavy and they don't have a real defined ear cup. When I tilt my head forward they have been known to fall off.

Well, of course not!

I have a fine reproducing unit, and I change the needle frequently...

I haven't dug thru their site in a while but www.headphone.com has always been a good place to reference info. They've been around a LONG time and are excellent to do business with. You can probably find what you want cheaper somewhere else but a good reference site.
