    Any good wireless headphones that anyone is actually using right now with the R3?

    I play my R3 on the couch from time to time, but this isn't good for the rest of the family (noise). I hate using my plug in headphones, especially if I need to move around.

    Suggestions :D ?

    Astro makes great stuff. The wireless version of the logitech G35 is also very good (it is the 9xx something)

    Does anyone make headphones without the wire to a transmitter?

    As in, no wires at all coming off the headphones, all intergated.

    I have been using these headphones for a while now and love them:
    Amazon.com: Sennheiser RS120 926 MHz Wireless RF Headphones with Charging Cradle: Electronics

    Advantages:
    - Not expensive at all
    - Good sound quality for gaming (I play competitive CoD:BO)
    - Great for music and movies
    - Very nice range
    - Vol control on right can.

    Disadvantages
    - Uses RF frequency, so expect a little white noise when nothing is playing, and a little static if you're in motion.

    I use Altec Lansing Backbeat 903+. I don't know if they work with the R3 though. I use them with my iPhone. I could try pairing them and let you know. It will take until Sunday though.

    Kind of what I am looking for, without any extra wires. Although no good when on the couch, I have the wired version of these and you cannot rest your head on the couch without the headphone getting pushed off your head,

    Is there any "cans" type bluetooth headphones all in one.

    I use the Creative WP-350 Bluetooth Wireless Headphones with "Invisible Mic" excellent bass and clean sound also has media controls built on the head set. the battery life is excellent, I get around 10 hours of continuous "loud volume " use, and they recharge via usb and it only take 30 mins to charge them. also you can use them while your charging it.

    you can find the cheaper if you look around online, I got mine for 50 dollars from NCIX

    i Have the logitech G930 for gaming and just works fine!
    only thing that sucks is the big a$$ usb adapter that chuncks out. rather had a micro usb reciever.
