If you are looking for RF Wireless headphones for practical/utilitarian purposes (eg TV watching, podcasts, audiobooks, while doing chores, etc), the Sony MDR-RF985-RK RF Wireless headphones are available in “Used – Like New” condition for around $30 at Amazon Warehouse Deals, by a couple of marketplace sellers with the order fulfilled (shipped) by Amazon, not the sellers. Free shipping if you are a Prime member. The sellers have only double figure ratings, but the order is fulfilled by Amazon, so you have some extra protection there.

These headphones have been around for a while and aveage 4.1/5 based on over 3100 customer reviews. They operate at 900Mhz FM (not Kleer technology). They are a two-parter, the headphones and a transmitter base which is also a charger. It looks like this has a built-in rechargeable Lithium Ion battery, so this is a plus or minus depending on whether you prefer this or AA/AAA power.

If you prefer AAA power instead, the Sennheiser RS 120 continue to go for $30 in “Used – Like New” condition by Amazon Warehouse Deals. Their two major knocks is that they lose connection to the transmitter if it is quiet and the AC cable situation is poorly designed.
