A number of modern hearing aids, will link
up wireless via a MHz band (iirc, b/w is about 400 kbps) to a transceiver worn like a medallion, or in a shirt pocket.

This transceiver has Bluetooth capabilities (currently/usually only BT v1), so one can listen to tv/mp3 players/cell-phones streaming up to about 30 ft/10m away.

Such hearing aids are about $2500 USD each.

The link setup/gadgets, are approximately $250 USD, probably sold at loss, to promote the
hearing aid sales.
(google on 'Phonak iCOM', for example)

Not that many here will care about
streaming to hearing aids but it does illustrate what's available/possible right now.

Sennheiser professional webcams cater to client's needs through its superb features and the HD555 professional headphones is a very good example of a high-quality product. The best feature of the gadget includes a surround reflector which is capable of generating spatial sound field.

Artem Russakovski,

Hi! Nice site. Awesome indeed. I am in need of a wireless earphone/earbud with PTT device that can be used or incorporated with any wireless UHF radio transceiver. What can you suggest or recommend? Thanks.

I purchased a set of sony mini-earbude an plugged into my cheap radio shaft wireless camcorder system receiver and glued a belt loop onto it. then I took the output (record out) into the the input of the transmitter (3.5mm mini-stereo) and turned it on and waallllah ! works perfect. the singer hears her singing mixed with the instruments and tells her how loud or quietly to sing. she love it.

this kind of ear buds type of headset had greatly replaced cordless headset since its comfortable to wear, its like your wearing nothing on your head with lesser interference. sony is now even using this type of headsets on their mobile phones which really extends the quality of their music experience. i never thought that they do actually exist already in the year 2008. thanks for the very informative post.

I really like those Etymotics. Apparently the non-wireless
versions are the best in-ears in the whole world. I'm always
a little skeptical of wireless stuff though. Usually it affects the
dynamic range quite drastically and of course interference
sucks too.

Maybe they rule though. Who knows.

Wow, I really like the Sennheiser MX W1, can't wait to have it!
The bonus from Opera S2 and S5 are also so tempting.

Opera S2 sure seems like a fine option at a reasonable price, yeah.

Hi,

So it sounds like the Opera S2 are the go. £68 on amazon sounds pretty good! I mostly want to watch TV and move around my apartment a) without disturbing my newborn, and, b) without disturbing my sleeping wife

Thanks in advance,
Tim

James,

thanks for stopping by. All those are headphones while the post is looking into earbuds only. But thanks for the extra info.

Hi Artem,

Don't know if you've heard of the new Sennheiser RS 160, RS 170, RS 180 wireless headphones that use Kleer technology. So same wireless audio technology as the Sennheiser MX W1, but this time in headphones (cans).

Designed for home audio use (watching television, listening to home stereo system) these new headphones from Sennheiser and Kleer are a watershed as they're the first true headphones (not earbuds) that use Kleer technology.

Here's a link from Sennheiser USA http://www.sennheiserusa.com/private_headphones_wireless-headphones for more info.

Only place I'm aware of you can purchase them is http://www.jr.com if you want them in time for the holidays.

Cheers!
James

Thanks, Steve. I think we pretty much arrived at the same conclusion.

I am glad the movie producers decided to introduce that little nuance into the movie as it gave all of us reasons to salivate and bug earphone manufacturers.

I think Apple's next big thing should be wireless earphones for their iPods. They really have the power to introduce them to the masses.

Just an FYI, the earbuds he was using in the movie are not real. at least not as headphones. They are a Bluetooth earbud that you can use with a cell phone for calls. The part that doesn't work is that they are not stereo earbuds. You can put one in each ear, but your phone only connects to one. The second one was a prop for the movie. If you keep searching the web you will get the model, as everyone is looking for these. However the stereo technology isn't there yet in such a compact size. A few more years folks. Other wise you have to go with one of the options above.

All this stuff looks really cool and makes me wish I could use ear buds. I get terrible headaches if I have them in for more than two minutes.

I also watched this movie and now want those earbuds! I googled a little and found somekind of future concept from Motorola (from 2003) http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=9
For me it seems that Ryan might have been using Motorolas future phone and wireless airbuds.
