Wireless Headphones

I'm looking for a set of wireless headphones (or a headset). The problem is that most of the radiowave versions (900 mhz) are fairly bulky, so I was thinking that I should look into one that uses bluetooth. I found what I was looking for, the BlueTake i-Phono BT420EX. The problem is that it retails for $250. I'm looking to spend around $100, maybe up to $150. All I'm looking for is a stereo sound (so no cellphone earpieces), rechargable, and fairly lightweight, ie, nothing bulky.

Any suggestions on what I should get?

Thanks

I've worked in the audio industry for a while years now, and, to be honest with you, I have come to the conclusion that if there is no really good reason it can't be wired, don't go wireless. "I don't want an annoying cord" isn't worth the monetary price or potential quality loss for wireless. I can't recommend any wireless headphones.

But, as for standard headphones, the AKG K-240S can't be beat. The best there are. They sound awesome, and the price is fair. The site says $159, but you can pick them up for less than $100. Guitar Center usually carries them for around $80. I would recommend these above any other headphones, and believe me, I've used scores of them.

My $35 headphones from them are the best cheap headphones I've ever bought. And I've heard their higher-range sets too, which are even better, though I don't need it.

Well, the whole point of this was to get rid of the wire and give me a little bit more mobility. While audio quality is somewhat important, I'm fairly happy with what my $7 sony headphones give me.

The K-240S looks nice, but way overkill for my needs [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

And the Sennheisers don't look bad weight or cost wise, I'll look into them.

Thanks everybody.
