Im looking for a wireless headphones for my new tv. I've been looking around and found these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001Z0OFBO/ref=s9_simh_gw_p23_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=00MT575T0MW2MXB0CBDV&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1389517282&pf_rd_i=507846

They look good and they aren't that expensive. Anyone have any suggestions.

wireless headphones usually have very bad sound quality
however, technology has been improving so I can't say about current market items

make sure you research the brand thoroughly
and buy from a reputable dealer in case you need to return them - because there is a high chance you may

the phone you picked uses RF, which I prefer over bluetooth
you can give them a try or pay a few dollars more for a name brand

Strange, I picked up a 15 -20 dollar pair at a discount department store and the sound quality's better than my TV {and previous wired Sony headphones}. Pretty much this pair:

Yeah, the negative reviews are from people who have no idea how to press a button, which button to press and when to do it. I get a range of twenty feet at least - through walls - no interference from phone wavelengths and good battery life, uses 4 {rechargable recommended} AAA batteries.

The only odd thing is that I have to rotate the connection cord every couple of months to discharge electricity from the transmittor. It's the only time I get a hint of static {or sometimes no sound at all}.
