cordless headphones?

there're already such things, but the downside is that the good ones usually need a dedicated base station and are bulky due to a need for a battery pack.mrm said:
some examples
alternatively, you could just get one of those radio-tuner headphones but i think those sound pretty dodgy
i've played around with some, and the technology is not quite there, at lease in a mobile sense. ibon is correct, if you want a good set of wireless headphones, it requires a dedicated base station, that's usually pretty bulky.
i know that there are some professional systems out there that have a very good quality, but you pay through the nose.
there are bluetooth headsets for cell phones, but i haven't tried them, and i would think that the quality is still not aas good as a wired set.
i think with the current wireless movement we are seeing in computers and technology in general, we might see something of good quality, within a consumer price range in the next couple of years, but nothing quite yet.

until then, get an itrip, and headphones with a fm radio built-in, and you're set!!!!!

For those sailors:
Here's is what I am doing, and what others that I know have done: Take an iTrip (iRock FM transmitter for those of you who don't want to wait for the new iTrips) and then get some Speedo Water-resistent headphones. In my Laser, I put it in a case and put that in the bag that I had installed in my inspection cover. The only bad thing is that until someone makes a wireless remote for the iPod, you can't easily skip songs. With the exceptino of that, you're ready to sail with your iPod!
