Van - how to set up wireless speakers for Media Center PC

[Sternfan2014]

Hi all,

I hope I've come to the right place for some advice.

I have a van that I would like to redo the video for. It came with a tube TV and a VCR. I am replacing the TV with a LCD monitor, and the VCR with a small PC running Windows 7 Media Center. This way I don't have to have a van full of DVDs - I can load up the Media Center with whatever I want.

The issues are the headphones. I do not want the video sound going through the van speakers - I want them on headphones. Probably four or five sets of headphones.

Which is my Q - what headphones do I get? I assume I am going to need a transmitter - will I need one transmitter per headphone? Or will just one transmitter work?

I assume IR won't work due to the line of sight - the third row will be a problem. I heard bluetooth isn't so great for this type of setup - stereo ***** and range issues.

Any recommendations greatly appreciated,

Rob

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I thought IR was "line of sight" - or am I wrong? Will people in the third row have problems? Or can I run the IR into the roof?

Probably best in the roof...I'd check around...has to be something at a better price....I Just did a quick search on eBay.
