Wireless headphones

Walking around listening shouldn't be a problem, but I wouldn't use them while recording.

Not sure about headphones, but my experience with a wireless mouse, the mouse and the infrared unit are constantly sending signals back and forth. Even if the mouse is still, the system keeps checking to see if it is still there. It caused some dropouts and a static-ie noise, but I didn't have as much ram at the time, and I have pared down the extraneous programs running in the backgraound since then, who knows, maybe the results would be different today. But, since you're sitting still while playing the keyboard (you are sitting still, right?), you could switch to regular hard wired headphones while recording. No, wait, are you doing a Jerry Lee Lewis impersonation while recording, kick the piano bench out of the way, foot on the low keys? Great balls of fire?

I bought a set of wireless headphones ar radio shack about two years ago, i use them all the time, I hate cords hanging all over to step on and sit on while mixing and recordind. I love them i was mixing a song the other night and had to walk outside to my car to get a book of song lyrics and listened all the way out and back no problem. Most wireless hardphones have some kind of adjustment for freq drift or interference. I did accidently over hear my neighbor ordering on QVC one night and actually heard her give her credit card number on the phone picked up on my headphones.

I want a set of them headless earphones. Where do I get them. A must have for any studio operation.
If Robo was able to use them for so long without any problems, I guess my concerns are a non-issue, so go for it, but I want a video of the new janet/jerry lee show, I see great youtube potential.

Just don't use them to mix.

You know..... if I had some really good studio quality phones. I might do it too. That's not to say that I haven't cause I have...... out of need... you do what you have to do...with what you have at the time.

Hmmm, you got me to thinking, I use my monitor speakers when I record my guitar/bass/vocals/any keyboard things I piddle with, when it comes to recording vocals I only use headphones. Is that the right way to go about recording? It seems to work for me but I haven't done too much since getting back into music.

Freeze, I think the reference here would be to not use wireless headphones while recording, to avoid noises.

I'm sure you are right Albert. I don't, I used normal headphones that plug into my mixer, I was just wondering if that's the best way to go about recording, using my monitor speakers for recording guitars/bass/keyboards/drums and headphones for recording vocals, keep in mind when I talk about recording guitar/keyboard/bass/drums that I keep the monitor speakers away from having any effect on the pickups of any of those instruments although I can still hear them over the monitor speakers.

After you use them for a few days...post your thoughts and opinions on them. Battery life ( I see they are rechargables), sound quality, misc noise & hiss, range, yadda yadda......

OK, you all wanted a review of these things. So far, no good. You have to tune them to hear the music, which is fine. But they'll work fine for awhile and then I just get annoying static. Sometimes I can retune them and they'll work OK, but I don't want to have to keep doing that! My son wondered if it was because it was near too many wires (computer, stereo, etc.) or if the rechargable batteries (that were included) aren't any good. (They require rechargables, btw.) The few times it has worked it IS nice to have the freedom to walk around the room and not be tied to the piano and computer. But if I can't figure out why there's so much static, I'll be sending them back. Any ideas?

Thanks for that. I won't give up quite yet. My problem right now is that I don't even move and they go out of tune!

As much electromagnetic radiation as we have flying around, you can expect static. Even the power cords of all your electric devices in the house give off rays which can interfere with clear reception. Wireless phones, wi-fi routers, cellphones, pacemakers, microwave relay towers, all give off radio noise, and are subject to interference from each other.

Kinda sounds like my wireless mouse experience.... first one died...maybe I didn't feed it or something. Several calls to tech...it just quit working...they sent me another, it acts up now & then .....so far it hasn't died.
