According to this article, it seems that wirelss headphones will soon be an everyday part of the digital revolution!

Giving people the ability to listen to their mp3 player with wireless headphones AND getting CD Quality sound is something that many many people including myself have been waiting for with baited breath.

Kleer's patented Kleer Audio LP(tm) technology has been picked up by RCA and seems to offer more in quailty than other offering like bluetooth.

• Lossless transmission of 16-bit, 44.1KHz-sampled stereo audio to deliver full CD-quality audio.
• Lossless transmission also enables the 'beaming' of music or other data files from one player to another.- 10 times the battery life of a comparable Bluetooth solution. This enables OEMs to integrate wireless technology into portable audio players without suffering a large penalty in battery life. And OEMs can introduce new small form factor products such as wireless earphones knowing that small batteries will still give them acceptable battery life.
• Best-in-class ISM band co-existence by dynamically selecting one out of 16 narrowband channels, each of which can fit in the gaps between wireless LAN channels, and ensuring that only unoccupied channels are selected.
• Kleer's Listen InTM technology that enables users to share the listening experience by having multiple wireless earphones, headphones or speakers listening simultaneously to the same audio source.
