i have a pair that work :/ what kinds have you tried

If you guys have wireless headphones what kind are they and where did you get them ;_;

My problem for those interested:

I try these 60 dollar ones that I buy at Best Buy and they all do the same shit ;_; Basically I go to tune them and as soon as they start to come in clear, they shut off. They have an automatic shut-off thing when there is no signal, but that isn't the problem, so the people at Best Buy tell me. Because when they shut off, the little transmitter thing goes absolutley dead and you have to unplug it for a few minutes for it to get working again. In some cases it just dies completely and it never works again.

There is nothing in the troubleshooting section of the instructions about this, and it happens every fucking time. I've exchanged them for the same pair in the past, and they all did the same thing. Then after a few tries of that, I went for the more expensive ones. I tried every pair they had in the store (which aren't many, 4 or 5), regardless of price, just because I wanted to see if I could actually find some that work. Each time I explain the problem to the supposed "experts" at Best Buy, they are stumped.

At first I thought it was my set up at home, that maybe for some reason it didn't work with my TV or something. But now I have a new TV and a completely different set-up than I did at home, and I just tried a pair of the 60 dollar ones again and I had the exact same problem. I bought them and returned them while my mother was in town visiting my sister for a couple days, and I don't know how to get to Best Buy myself, so I only had one night to try the headphones and decide if I wanted to keep them.

I want wireless headphones because I go through so many headphones and they are mostly because i compulsively chew on the wires and they end up crapping out. My dad has a pair that work fantastically, but they are set up a completley different way - all the ones i've tried you plug into the headphone jack, and with his they are connected to the back of the TV, or maybe through his VCR.

Help plz
