[SOLVED] Wireless headphone

Fixit7 · 02-10-2015, 11:31 PM

I am looking for a wireless headphone.

What I found was compatible with Windoze but not Linux.

Any recommendations ?

Have you searched this exact question in search engines?

Yes, sounds like you are not keen on helping.

Providing your computer has a audio out then,
Any wireless headphone will work if the input is a mini jack plug. (goes in the headphone socket)
The compatible with bit on the box does not mean much.
There is basically two types
Infra Red and Radio.
The infra red can be blocked by any thing in the path but is near immune to interference.
The Radio type will work in the next room but can pick up local radio interference. (RFI)
Both sorts should not cost much more than about £15 (or equivalent ) on Ebay.
I hope this helps.

Thanks Trev.

The one I saw used a usb port.

It's a shame that hardware makers do not make more effort to support LINUX.

They are losing money because of that.

or probably you need to download the driver for that, but without specifying that device ....

Hello again fixit7
In my experience Audio via USB can pick up a lot of computer noise, so best avoided if you wish for any form of quality sound.
Even Creative could not get it right with their fancy kit.
I have a Creative Extigy it cost a lot but is poor quality sound, as it is USB connected.
As for why USB is noisy I do not know there is no reason why filters could not be correctly used but seem not to.
A good sound card and mini jack plug in works.

Bluetooth? Typical range is 10m/30ft. A quick search shows that it is possible with puppy.

Lots of compatible bluetooth adapters available which are inexpensive. Its the headphones that can get pricey.

I would hazard a guess that the noise you hear is due to noise on the USB port ground being transferred to that of the plugged-in headphones. Though that suggests a desktop PC and a ground loop problem or a dodgy laptop. Anything taking digital signals from USB and not using a common ground for the PC and headphone ought not to have any noise -- especiallyt wirelessly.
