Hi Gary.
I am using a pair of wireless headphones my wife got from Radio Shack about
5 years ago as a Christmas present. Best resent I ever got. I love them.
There is no delay at all and they work just as well or better than the ones
I have with the cord.
I am hard of hearing and wear hearing aids and with regular headphones, I
can't wear them without all sorts of squeals and burps. With the wireless
ones, I can take my hearing aids out and set the volume on the headphones
to a comfortable level with out the 'aids. That is really nice.
I put a piece of velcro on the side of the headphones, and a piece on the
boom mic that I use, When I operate SSB, I just stick the boom mic to the
velcro and use it that way. I don't work much SSB, so it was more like an
afterthought to make them work for phone. 73
