I use a Sennheiser set of headphones (RS 120 II) on my home theatre. Cost about $200. Digital audio between base and headphones so nice and clear. Only needs an analogue input so will work basically anything with line out or headphone out. The base doubles as a stand and charging station too so, nice and tidy. Range is about 100m line of site and 20m through plaster walls. Obviously no microphone. I’ve heard good reports about some of the Logitech bluetooth wireless headsets but not sure if they work with Linux specifically - for example: http://www.logitech.com/en-au/product/8452 - however they aren’t “over” ear, just “on” ear. They are “HFP 1.5” (Hands Free Portable bluetooth profile), so “should” work. Usual disclaimer apply. HTH, James
