Cordless Stereo Headphones w/ Microphone? 7
Blaede asks: "I've looking for one of these forever and can't find any that seem to make me want to spend my money. Most important, the audio quality must be tops, with good natural bass (I don't want to have to compensate too much with EQ). The speakers must be of full ear covering construction (no Walkman type units), and the transmitting unit must not be of the line of sight. If anybody knows where to obtain something like this, the info would be appreciated." If something like these exist, it might be a nice thing for those of you who, for one reason or another, find themselves on the phone for hours during the course of the day. I sure wouldn't mind having one, what about you?
A non-brand name one... (Score:1)
A few months ago I bought an old stereo headphone with mic on sale at a discount bin in a local electronics store. The brand/model/whatever is "Elveco" (that's it), it's a full ear model, works very nicely and has a tested 50 m radius (including walls and a few other computers nearby) from the antena. The mic is sensitive for my needs and very flexible although I leave it off most of the time. The mic picks up great for 25 m and after that it just drops off. The base runs off a little AC/DC converter (or 2 AAA batteries) and the receiver runs off 2 AAA batteries.
I bought it for R$ 80 (80 brazilian reais ~= US$ 40). I wish there was more information on how to find one I could give you. There's a little sticker on the antena base and the headset (which isn't heavy BTW, just the right weight to not bother me) that's writen in "Radiocom Privees France Professionnal" and is dated from 07/1997 (so it's a bit old also).

Alternatively, a couple of short range fm transmitters (thirty bucks), some empty FM spectrum, wire and electrical tape, and a complete and utter disregard for privacy will also work. To my mind too much of a pain in the rump.

Perfect? No. They sound as good as some very much less expensive wired cans. However, for the wireless mobility, they are THE way to go.
