So TDK just hands us a dongle instead.
Their new TH-WR700 utilizes any 3.5mm headphone port to transmit music for up to 10 meters, and thanks to Kleer (http://www.kleer.com/products/index.php) wireless tech rather than Bluetooth, TDK claims a much higher fidelity—up to 40db less noise in the signal, which would be more than noticeable.
The TH-WR700 goes on sale in Japan starting this March for about $200, but there's no word on a US release at this time. [TDK (http://www.tdk-media.jp/press/pre11700.html) via CrunchGear (http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/02/01/tdk-announces-wireless-kleer-headphones/)]
