I had heard of a product which was shown at the 1985 Winter CES in Las
Vegas which was an infrared (?) headphone connection. You simply plugged the
main box into the PHONES jack, then put on the pair of wireless headphones,
and you could move anywhere in the room and listen without making any
noise.

	Has anybody heard anything more about this product?
