The iPhone, iPod Touch are still hot markets, especially for accessories. TDK is has announced a set of wireless headphones, the TH-WR700, which it is positioning for iPod/iPhone use, but which can also be used with any audio equipment sporting a 3.5 mm stereo mini-plug port.
TDK’s headphones make us of Kleer technology to transmit sound, rather than Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. TDK says Kleer transmits a lossless 16bit/44.1KHZ signal using the 2.4GHz band, which it claims is less susceptible to interference. The infrared transmitter is capable of maintaining line-of-sight contact up to 30 feet.
The headphones require a pair of AAA batteries, which will provide up to 40 hours of listening time. It’s possible to connect up to four pairs of headphones up to a single transmitter. The headphones are over the ear, have 34mm drivers, 108dB/mW, a 32Ω impedance, and a pretty standard frequency range of 20-20kHz.
No word on price. TDK says the TH-WR700 will be on shelves March 1.

Why is it 'positioned for iStuff use'? It works with anything with 3.5mm stereo out, which is practically any MP3 player, or phone, or computer.

Oh how I hate hate hate headphone wires. Always getting tangled, caught on stuff, chewed on by cats. I hope this is the wave of the future. This example is way too bulky but keep working on it! I want a world where wires for anything are obsolete!!
