We’re moving into a new apartment in a couple of weeks, and because of where it’s situated (in the back of an art gallery) I’ve been looking at wireless headphone options so we can still blast our music without disturbing the patrons. Panasonic has just announced a new model that looks pretty decent, the RP-WF930, which for $99 provide rechargeable 20-hour batteries, a 900Mhz transmitter that continually scans for the clearest channel to broadcast on, and some sort of ‘Surround Sound Control,’ which is more than likely just some sort of stereo phasing to provide a more realistic sound (although they don’t really say). If they sell additional headsets without another base, these just might be the ones for us.
It would be nice if someone made a wireless headphone option that let you ‘mate’ units to one base station or another, so that we could have at least two different inputs connected to two different bases, and could switch the headphones from source to source as we chose.
