    Logitech do some called Clearchat or something like that, search google for those. I know Sony do some too called Sony MDR IF140K.

    There are cordless headphones out there but none of them provide very good quality sound. I read a lot of independent reviews on those things a while back and if you want good quality sound reproduction don't get cordless headphones.

    You did say you were looking for a 'good' pair...

    Not sure I agree with the last comment. I agree that corded headphones are better quality, but against that you have the benefits that you can move around with cordless. Having said that you have to buy quality. I´ve got a pair of Sennheiser which are excellent. They use am FM transmitter so I´ve worn mine in the garden and still pick up a signal 50 metres away. Most of them use a 3.5 jack, so if I´m listening to stuff on the laptop I simply plug the transmitter into the line out.

    Works fine for me, with good quality sound

    I agree with KathysBoy - I bought a cheap pair of Philips cordless headphones via eBay and find them excellent.

    Can a cordless headphone be used with a tv?

    I use mine mainly with the TV when I'm listening to sport, as my wife doesn't like the noise.They're brilliant for listening to the football.

    Assuming your TV has a headphone socket you just plug the transmitter into that and the sound mutes and you can listen on your headphones. Having said that my headphone socket is on the front, and although I have it set up to use the phono outputs on the back with a phono/jack converter (although you need a male/female convertor as the jack on the transmitter is a male), I actually have it plugged directly into the Sky box, so everything is behind the TV and hidden. When I want to use th headphones just put them on, switch on and mute the TV.
