LTB's 2.4GHz wireless headphones

LTB has some new wireless headphones (conveniently named LTB Audio Wireless Headphones) that get their job done using 2.4GHz wireless technology, besting the usual 900MHz you'll find in most wireless headphones. Nothing too fancy, the headphones have a built-in rechargeable battery, and can charge up at the base station, which houses the RCA and 3.5mm hookups. Also, multiple transmission channels can be selected from to get the optimum signal, since you will be competing with all the other crazy 2.4GHz technologies floating around your house these days. The Gadgets Weblog got to spend some quality time with a pair, and were quite pleased with the results, including the audio quality and range afforded by the cans. They did mention a slight lack in bass, but gave the pair an overall thumbs up.

I messed up and missed the sennheiser display at CES - did anyone go? I'd really like something comparable to my Sennheiser HD600 but wireless. My goal is to get something EXTREMELY comfortable and EXTREMELY good sounding (surround would be even better) to replace my current headphones. My HD600's sound GREAT and are comfortable but I want wireless.



I've tried the wireless headphones on Sennheiser's current web page and they are a significant step down from the HD600's. I'm hoping they have something new to listen to that are a big jump up from their current offering.

Clusterfuck ... I just now learned a new word. lol





How much would these headphones cost? Good idea. But, already there's cordless phones, a wireless ap, and a microwave that would probably interfere with each other on the 2.6GHz wireless band in my house...

I purchased a pair from Tigerdirect.com and no problems. They have channel selections so you can jump away from interference. I have bluetooth and 2 wifi routers in my place with no conflicts at all. I only had microwave interference when I walked by it.

BTW LTB is supposed to roll out a True 5.1 Version soon. I'm gonna check them out when they are around.
