wireless headfones?

Indy-3
Has anyone tried wireless headfones such as these with their K2?

http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&product%5Fid=33-1219

I am curious how they handle being around a transmitting ham radio.  The idea of being able to walk into the kitchen to refill a cup of coffee without losing half the QSO is appealing...

tnx,

Fred

Fred and All,
 
I do it all the time!  I use an RCA wireless headphone system that  cost
about $50 on sale.  Works great.  I can go through most of the  house and still
hear fine. It can get spotty in places.   Be  careful though.  Not all of these
systems work that well.  Some time  back I had a system that only worked
across the room, but not from other  rooms.  The system I have now is RCA model
WHP150.  I have a second  RCA system (WHP140) which I use in the bedroom for
watching TV without  disturbing my wife if she wants to sleep.  By connecting to
one of the  audio output jacks on the back of the TV set, I can mute the TV
sound without  affecting the output to the headphone system.  Both systems seem
to work  equally well.  In fact, by slightly changing the frequency setting on
the  headphone I can hear the other system.  These are 900 mhz systems.  
Guess what--you can also use a 2 meter HT with wideband receive to monitor if  you
like.
