that's probaly line of sight.
as a general rule of thumb, if u can draw a straight line from the headphone's receptor, to the transmitter. You should be able to get the signal (assuming it's close enough, though infra red goes a reasonable distance). If something comes in between (like a wall), the signal most likely won't be able to pass through it. Though it can pass through somet things....
then again, the headphones might use radio transmission.

Yeah a strong radio signal or bluetooth is the way to go, i used to have old phillips infra-red phones, great sound quality, cheap, just not very practical.

I know personally I would never want to rely on wireless headphones. Mainly due to batteries... what would be the purpose of a bluetooth dj headphone? I can see so many opportunites for failure when compared to wired headphones. Isn't it hard enough to find headphones that will last longer than a year as is?
