Yes, it’s only a reference design, it uses a proprietary RF technology and it’s nowhere near on sale yet, but I’m so hungry for totally wire-free headphones that I’m willing to post about this Kleer concept in the hope that it spurs someone, anyone, on to make them.
Seriously, is it too much to ask for my music sans neck-circling cable? Kleer are saying this design can “achieve at least 10 hours playtime of lossless CD-quality digital stereo audio over a robust 2.4GHz radio link” with a simple one-button interface and LEDs to show battery and operational status.
By next Christmas I want these (or something like them) to be a realistic purchase on my letter to Santa.

Chris,
Fear not; the Kleer folks are already beyond the reference design stage… I’m familiar with them, and from what I know, there will be at least two announcements in the very near future (say, Jan 2 and Jan 7) that will address some of your wish list items… Your only question for next Christmas may simply be: do I want them in White or Black or some other cool colour. They’ll definitely be there…
