Top of the range cordless headphones

Anybody got any recommendations for good cordless headphones, I currently have a pair of Philips HC8652 which use radio frequency but I'm not happy with the interference and background hiss. I've heard that Yamaha make some Wi-Fi headphones which are suppose to me magnificent. Anybody have any information on these or any other high quality cordeless headphones

If you are looking for good ones then I would suggest the Sennheiser RS65s or the RS85s, both much better than the RS45s and come with two batteries, you cna charge one whilst you use the other.

if you think about it they'd have to be incredibly good transmitters to retain a good quality sound. The emitter receives a signal then converts it (at it's own quality conversion) to send out. So don't expect anything super amazing. After saying this the RS85 are good considering all that, but then i've never heard of anyone making any more high end.
