1. Give me a couple days - I have 2 pair on order.

By wireless, do you mean cordless (uses cordless phone frequencies) or Bluetooth?

I've gone over to BT. The range is fine, and quality is fine. They're never going to be perfect, but I have tinnitus and some high end hearing loss, so I don't notice it. The headphones are primarily so the tinnitus doesn't make me crazy(er).

I just sent back a pair of Bludio hurricanes. Great battery life (20 hours? Long, anyway) but we have a heavy wifi system (10 devices I think?) and that specific pair was interfering with 2 devices and making them drop connection. I don't think that's common -- I have not seen any other complaints of that type. I found the hurricanes to be a bit pinchy, but I wear glasses and have little ears so also not uncommon. The sound was excellent. If anything, they were too loud -- I was consistently at the lowest possible volume.

Motorola S305s are good, but battery life is around 8 hours. That said, they are light, not pinchy, have good reproduction and controls. I've used several pair of generic over ear, back of neck; they have cheap and sturdy going for them, and run about 12 hours of battery life.

I've got two pair due in tomorrow to replace the Bludios. Not sure which I'll keep.
