Certainly easy enough to do with earbuds, RF headphones and assorted music
sources.

Earbuds leave me tethered to a spot; I have three "dual" worstations
that surround me while working -- so, I am continuously in motion
moving between them. Corded headphones (much prefered to the little
earbuds) suffer from a similar fate.

I've tried RF headphones but they have "flat spots" where reception
"fuzzes out" -- which means I have to remain in a "sweet spot" or
be continually bothered by the drop outs.

Ir headphones might work. My BT headphones are too small to give
good reproduction -- and not small enough to fit into the ear canal
where they can get enhanced base response by coupling directly to the
structures in the ear.

During daylight hours, the preferred way of listening is with a little
"console" that gives me the freedom of motion coupled with reasonably
good reproduction. Or, with earbuds and a PMP while taking my daily walk.

I can't stand ear buds but I have a 900mz head set that works 2 houses
away when I am walking the dog. I did cheat and put the antenna on the
roof. It still works anywhere in the house and yard.
I want to get one of my ham buddies to help me make a better antenna
although 900 mz works pretty good with nothing but a wire the right
length.
