wireless/cordless headphones?

I work nights,and sometimes it would be nice to listen to music on my computer/radio/tv when the kids are sleeping and I am off work. does anyone make cordless/wireless headphones I could buy so I could be more than 3 feet away from the tv/radio/computer?

I just use set of Radio Shack headphones with a coil cord and have the AMP sitting above the computer on one side (left is best for most headphones). I hang them on a hook beside the computer when not in use.

If you go cordless check for rechargeable batteries and get a good charger. I also use a cordless mouse since the cords always seem to break at the end of the mouse.

I have had two different brand wireless head phones. What i found was. Interference is a big problem. Never got clear sound quality.

Yes, these Sennheisers for $75. Sound good up to about 40ft away, their RF link goes through one wall very well, two walls starts to pick up a little static. No interference so far with anything, like microwave at 2450MHz or cordless phones at 900MHz and 1.4GHz.

I'll get another pair if Donna keeps bugging me for them.

I have a set of Sentry HO 900. They are ok but they do have interference if you get over 15 ft from the source.

Kind of expensive, but I'm sure well worth it.

I have a set made by Sennheiser and they work great anywere in my house without static. They use rechargable batteries which I think is a nice feature.
