Where do the wireless headphones connect?

Hi

I am looking to get some wireless headphones. But before i buy a pair i need to know if they will work with my system.

I have a Sony HT-SS 360 home theater system which has my TV, ps3, DVD plugged into it. There is no speaker plug jack on this system and only audio in x3, so where do i connect too?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

The wireless base station receiver dongle thing normally plugs into the headphone socket or aux output as advised by my brother who used to own some Philips ones

If there is no audio output other than the speaker terminals you can't use wireless headphones
