Wireless headphones for recording?
Just thought of this. Wouldn't it be cool to have wireless headphones on to monitor your playing and backing drum track/metronome when recording? That way you wouldn't have to be close to your computer when recording with headphones and that way avoid the hum from being close to the screen.
I've seen some wireless headphones ranging from 20 bucks to 300. Has anyone used wireless phones for the same purpose and gotten satisfactory results? Would be really nifty to record while playing standing up without being tied down by a headphone cable for latenight recording/jamming...

Yeah, I used, or was given, wireless phones for recording my song 'Blades Of Contingency' (check out through below garageband link  !), which helped a lot because my amp has a rather large EM field from it's vent' fan's motor, and because of the spacing of the room.
I sat in the far corner of the room facing the wall, and without the lead, there was no awkward tangle. A worthy recording investment if you ask me. |

Cool what model was it? Are the decent ones expensive or can you get by with a fairly cheap one?

Yeah, we had a shit budget, because we enterprising a CD of local bands (mostly rock unfortunately, but hey), but they were bought for the sessions. So they had to have been cheap. Headphone guitar tones were never so good!
Sorry though, I can't remember the model. I'm scanning my mind for the brand as well... Behringer? A German-ish name anyway... |

Sehnheiser probably, seen one for about 50 bones, I'll look into em. Thx!
I'm not looking for super faithful studio quality either myself. I'm buying a high qual recording interface for my comp and tweak everything and test it through my computer speakers and save the settings I want. The phones would be just for jamming/record-monitoring out of my comp's soundcard while going direct-in with my gear into the recording interface. So I can jam without being tied down to anything or worry about setting the amp level too high or the comp speakers or vice versa.

Yeah, just so long as you can get the signal through clear enough, because a crap signal can throw you off rhythm sometimes, because you can drown out certain key parts that indicate to you where you are, like the drums. I noticed that when recording 'Blades...', although there are weird times et al in it, where the drums don't even provide a metronome.
Anyway, Sennheiser may have been them, in fact I think they were. So good luck with that. They were good. |

I too am curious about this wireless recording.
Usually i have to put the cord from my headphones behind my back and use my body to block the signal from the headphones to the instrument. But i'm using a REALLY shitty set of nady headphones because my expensive ones broke and i STILL haven't claimed the warrenty on them. I'm gettingp issed at myself. They are really nice HD280 headphones i bought for 250. (25 was for the 4 year warrenty)

Yeah, if you are going to get them, get something quality. I got a set of Radio Shack ones for my birthday, and if you have anything blocking the signal field they start to sound shitty.
