I have some "little" Altec, Polk, and Boston Acoustics also for the same reason.

IR and RF wireless things exist. I think the "Blue ones" use a limited part of the spec and may not need the fiddling that my high end stereo link does. My need for fiddling may be only be the fault of a battery save feature in the stereo headphones. Battery recharging might be a nuisance, but my IR keyboard goes over a year on throw-away AA cells. I'd consider wire first, and wireless only if wire is a big problem... or wire thru the wall to a USB adapter and use a keyboard and mouse that have separate USB receiver(s). Some of those have a docking feature for recharge. I don't know these product families very well, however. Happy hunting! Chuck
