Wireless headphones to work with an iPod? What a selling point that would be!!! I hate going to the gym and worrying about snagging the cord on all kinds of stuff. Jogging would be 100% better too without the cord.

It just seems strange that in this wireless world, we are still bound to our iPods by wires.

Do you think they can be developed soon? My guess is the 2 things holding it back would be cost and audio quality.
 
I think there are also issues related to the fact that the headphones need a power supply and that so far, not very many products in that sphere have been exactly good looking.

See etymotic. They already had one and it's expensive as heck.
