Thanks for the post Den. I was thinking that maybe the noise cancelling of the Etrac had something to do with it, but really that should make the audio BETTER? Another possibility…maybe you needed to try a different FM channel from the one you used with the radio tuner and fm headphones?

I have actually tried this setup with a Minelab E-Trac and a Belkin tunecast II but the audio was clipped and incomplete so unusable, whether this was due to the fm headphones I was using I am not sure as the setup worked ok on a radio tuner I initially tested it on.

Quite a mystery really.

Yes, it does – for $1699.95 with phones!
The method I described will cost about $30.

Thanks for the great comment Angela. I’ve never tried the Logitech cordless phones – didn’t even know about them, so I wouldn’t know how they compare to the setup I described. I do like the idea of being able to use any kind of headphones rather than being confined to a particular kind.

Anyone have experience with a cordless/wireless setup?
