I looking to purchase some Wireless Radiographic Headphones and am unsure whether they would be compatible with a MP3 player, can any MP3 player use Wireless technology or are certain manufacturers only compatible. Anty info would be much appreciated on best MP3 player and Headphones.
Thanks in anticipation John |

Some are compatible only with specific models, as they have a specific plug that allows them to be powered by the MP3 player (i.e. no batteries). However, this drains the MP3 player battery quickly - some will last only 1.5 hours with wireless headphones. Hence... get the battery model - they tend to be much better in value and quality as well.
Personally, I wouldn't get portable wireless headphones unless you have a specific reason. Quality and reliability is really low, and you still need access to the player or remote to change track or volume. Get a decent set of headphones with a retractable cord. |

Too true about wireless quality. They're not much better quality than FM radio, and you get the same problems - low quality to start with, and constant interference. This combined with terrible battery life make them a bad buy in my opinion, unless you have a very specific need.
Bluetooth headphones are more promising, but still suffer from interference. |
