What you aren't seeing with this device is that you can stream audio to a remote location. For example if you have a reciever in your garage that powers your outdoor setup with this unit you can plug in a Y cable and stream audio from your PC to it.
I had to read the article twice to understand what this thing was. So what is it?
You feed some audio source to the base and then you pickup the receiver box, connect the head set to it and then you hear whatever audio is comming in into the base (but for 4 hours only).
So this is simply a very stupid version of the many good and inexpensive wireless headphone sets available from many manufacurers, including sony.
The units are simply ugly and seem to be built from very cheap looking plastic.
Purporting that this has any kind of iPod functionality is simply ridiculous. According to the article, it does not even work reliably (sound is distorted and with breakes).
I have a very good looking Sony Wireless Stereo Headphone set, rated to 100 meters, that cost about 80 dolars. It has a very good sound quality ,almost indistinguishable from a good wired headphone set of the same size (big), and it works flawlessly all over my two floor house.
I want this work!! I have been waiting for a wireless portable player to stream my football games / mp3's / internet streams on sundays while I am cutting the lawn, working on the car, etc.
does something like this exist? How difficult could this be? I had high hopes for the Widio...

Does anyone know where you can get those headphones? They look incredible. Audio-technica's site makes no mention of them whatsoever.-Steve
