Default Wireless Earphones Suggestions ?

Hi,

Due to family pressure, usually have to wear earphones when listening.
The wire to the radio is driving me crazy.

Thought I'd look into a wireless set of earphones. Mono is of course just
fine.

Was wondering if anyone might suggest a pair for use with my JRC NRD 545 and
also for use with a scanner.

Would hope to find a pair that's less than about $75, and Extremely light
weight on the head.

Any thoughts or suggetions would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

There are all sorts of expensive wireless headsets out there, with head
pieces that feel like a giant clothespin is smashing your skull, vinyl
ear pieces that have you sweating in seconds, and all the sound quality
of a $2 headphone.

I bought a $15 box intended for car use; you plug a stereo source into it
and it broadcasts stereo in the FM band. Then I got a cheap, comfy
walkman-type radio. Works great, inexpensive, comfortable and good range.

I did about the same thing, except I bought an FM transmitter kit from
Ramsey Electronics. With it, I can listen anywhere in the house,
yard, and several hundred feet down the road ;-) I use a very small
little FM receiver (from Radio Shack) that drops into my shirt pocket
with room to spare, along with "ear bud" type headphones.
