I need really good RF Wireless Headphones

[jgourd]

I had a pair of Senheizers that I liked a lot until the transmitter got left behind at a gig.

What is the best sounding full over-the-ear RF wireless headphone that money can buy?

I don't know if I'd call any of the wireless cans the "best." But, I do have a pair of JVC wireless cans. They will transmit about 300 from inside my studio. I usually sit outside with a cold one in the late afternoon and listen to "stuff." Had my gal singer over yesterday to listen to some of her stuff I just put to CDR. Very nice to sit and listen with no wires.

I also use these cans for routine work in the studio but not for mixing. Nice to be able to move about and not trip on the wires.

The JVC cans will cut out and reset if I walk by the icebox, or some other electrical unit; however, they work quite well when I'm sitting and sipping.

Haven't heard the Senns but I guess they are good too.

Enjoy,

Yo GH -
What's the model of JVC wireless you're using?

You guys might want to check out an unknown brand Amphony who makes a 2.4 GHz wireless headphone with PCM data transmition instead of analog.

Veddy interesting...and only $129. list. Hmmmm.
Thanks, Jgourd.

I just got a pair to check out. If I don't use them on the road, I can use them to watch DVDs while the wife is sleeping.

The sound good, but are very suseptable to interference from my wireless network hub. As long as I do not use them in the same room as the hub I am good.

There is supposed to be a range extender you can get for them but I have not seen any info on it.

I should probably tell you all why I needed something like this. My Senheizers died. When I do a live recording gig I do not yet have the luxury or a remote truck. The only way I can listen to the mics is on headphones. Sometimes I use noise canceling phnes from Bose. The best way I found was to put on a pair of wireless phones and walk out of the club.

Wher did you get your MR avatar?

I write medical imaging software.

That's funny- I'm a medical photographer. The stuff you guys are coming up with is incredible! Imaging has come a long way since Roentgen!

I sent you an e-post but in case it doesn't make through the imagining processes of this site, the model # of my JVC cans are:

HAa W250RF

900 Mhz

Range: 300 feet through walls and stalls and obscene calls.

Thanks- I'll check them out! How's that new Yamaha working out? I'm green with envy - I'm still bouncing track on my little MD4! Someday I'll get out of 4-track hell!

Yo Buffalo Roberto:

The Yamaha 2816 is great. I say great because of the sound it produces.

The manual is a vacuum, as are most Yamaha manuals; but, if you have some PC savvy and have used multi-trackers, you will soon get around the unit. Burning the CDR's is about the easiest part of the box. In reality, the 2816 is a PC with a small screen.

I think the 4416 can use a mouse; I don't believe the 2816 can connect to a mouse; but, getting around via the arrow buttons isn't too bad.

I still have my MD8 hooked up in the studio; however, I haven't turned it on for a long time. The 2816 is so much better.
