More good news. This month, Rocketfish started selling two new wireless headphone models in Best Buy stores nationwide. There are two models, the RF-WHP01 and RF-WHP02. Each model has Avnera’s first generation wireless audio system, which at this point is popping up in many other places.

Both models are targeted at TV and home AV environments.

Key application usages:

1. Watching TV at night without disturbing house-mates (Killer frickin’ app)
2. Enhancing TV/AV audio for people with diminished hearing
3. Listening to music from iPod dock, PC, home stereo while cooking dinner, doing housework, etc.

The RF-WHP01 and RF-WHPo2 are both very similar models, with the primary difference being:

1. RF-WHP02 is mainly targeted at TV users, so it offers some hook-up flexibility. Including a boom mic option for older sets that don’t have supplementary audio outputs. This is also a quick and dirty way for someone to enjoy music at a higher volume level than others also watching the same TV, without headphones.
2. RF-WHP02 has a spatial enhancement feature to enhance stereo sound.
3. RF-WHP02 also offers some voice enhancement meant for people with diminished hearing who have difficulty picking out speech when watching TV.
4. RF-WHP01 has black trim. The RF-WHP02 has metallic maroon trim.

The RF-WHP01 & RFWHP02 are available now at Best Buy stores. As of the writing of this article, they are not yet available online, though that’s only a matter of time.

UPDATE: They are available now online: RF-WHP01 for $79.99 and RF-WHP02 for $99.99.

To get a sense of what a killer deal this is… compare this to Sony’s 2.4GHz and the 60-some dB SNR 900 MHz junk that is still hanging around…

So forget IR, forget 900 MHz, forget paying north of $200… pick up a pair of Rocketfish headphones that just work.
