    Was looking for Wireless Headphones and just decided on these from Ebay:

    Buy it @ Ebay

    Contacted the seller this morning who told me postage to Ireland would be insured and have to be signed for an extra £4.77 so all-in, got the headphones plus delivery for £33.76 (€40).

    Reviews on Amazon are quite favourable too!

    Cheapest I could find the Amazon link above - which worked out at just over €50 (incl VAT & Shipping).

    cheers, I'd be interested to hear how you get on with these, my last pair of sony's (about 4 years old) have that annoying hiss but I'm sure the technology has come on, it would have to with so may houses having multiple wireless devices now

    Let me know how you get on with them. Do they only connect to a 'headphone slot'?

    Cheers wardy.

    Checked his feedback alright before buying - he appears to have sold a number of earphones in the past (Bose included) and hasn't recieved any negative feedback.

    But something to definitely be aware of.

    Just subscibing to this thread for when someone posts a review, will be buying if they're any good, really want a pair but have been let down in the past, DO NOT ever buy a pair of these from Aldi or Lidl, utter sh1t both times Ive tried, they'll give you your cash back if you complain though.

    Is it possible to plug two devices (or more) into one of these?

    Recieved these at lunch-time..

    Only got a chance to hook them up and listen to them for about 30 seconds before I had to get back to work.

    First impressions are they're definitely more comfortable than my other Sony "cans". Nice soft material on inner ear. Sound seemed quite good but I just popped on the start of an episode of 'Dollhouse' so it probably wasn't a great test. Will try it on some music this evening.

    People were mentioning they found it difficult to insert the batteries on Amazon... they must have been on "shrooms"! :D Was a breeze. It's a nice setup - you plug in your base unit into the power, and into your device you want to listen to wirelessly. There's a plug to charge the headphones then on the base unit that you just hook the headphones into when you want to charge.

    Oh.. and for those who are wondering if they're only work with a headphone jack. They came with a 3.5mm to RCA adapter as well (as below):

    You can't hook these up to a games console or dvd player can you? Would it have to go thru the TV?
