[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1605081, member: 234411"] Sorry about your iMac's audio output issue - but out of curiosity, what price was quoted to fix the jack? Also, have you tried a can of compressed air in the jack opening (gently of course)? Since Wi-Fi is a networking standard (802.11...) working on the 2.4 GHz and/or 5 GHz RF spectrum band, I don't believe that a set of wireless headphones can use its specifications. The Bluetooth (BT) to audio jack adapter would seen like a simple solution, but as stated you have not had good experience w/ that option - Amazon [URL="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_17?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=bluetooth+to+headphone+jack&sprefix=bluetooth+to+head%2Celectronics%2C198&tag=macforums0e4-20"]HERE[/URL] has a lot of offerings but the ratings are so variable - I guess that 'trial & error' might be needed to find one that works well for you? For myself, I have 2 wireless headphones: 1) Rocketfish BT - work well but the wireless range is about 30 ft as you have noted; again you likely would have to buy a set and test in your area; and 2) Sennheiser RS160 which I have plugged into my audio receiver's headphone jack - uses the 2.4 GHz band and work well; but of course you would need the BT-audio jack adapter for your iMac. Hopefully, others will 'chime in' w/ different solutions - Dave :) . [ATTACH=full]20949[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]20950[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
