Wireless headphones?

So I need some kind of headphones that are wireless and can get audio from the PC. The problem is that most are really expensive and I'm not sure if it is worth it (I care less for very high quality etc). While I don't live in USA or UK or whatever maybe you guys know some decent ones that are a little bit cheaper (by that I mean that the quality of the audio doesn't need to be the best. Just so I can listen to podcasts etc).

Here's what I was thinking though. Is it possible to get a wireless bluetooth headset for a mobile phone, but also a bluetooth plug for my PC? Then send audio through the bluetooth to the bluetooth headset? Sony-Ericsson MW600 is a quite expensive piece of hardware but I can put whatever headphones into it. That way when the headphones break I don't need to pay for the bluetooth part of it. If that makes any sense.

Maybe you guys have any ideas?
 
I have a pair of the Sennheiser RS180 wireless headphones and I LOVE them. They are my main cans for on the computer, watching TV when I don't want to wake anybody, etc. I know they're not bluetooth, but I haven't really found a bluetooth pair of cans I've liked all that well. These can be a little pricey, but if you can be patient and search on eBay you'll be able to find a pair, brand new still in box, for quite a bit less than you'd pay at a traditional online vendor. I think I snagged mine new for around $100-$120 IIRC give or take. Even at typical Amazon or Best Buy prices though I'd say these are worth it if you are serious about the wireless. Honestly, for wireless audio they sound incredible. Better than some of my previous regular corded headphones I've had for around the house.
 
RS 180 are probably the best wireless audiophile headphones you can get, but OP specifically wants cheap headphones and doesn't care about audio quality. RS 180's are $300.

Yup, that's why I suggested patience and sleuthing around for deals ;) They can be found for cheap(ish).
 
i can vouch for RS 180 as well picked up mine for about $160~$180 i can't remember exactly
but it looks like it might be out of your budget
 
Just a note:

We've got a Plantronics .Audio 995 Headset. Sound has some pops/clicks in it, it hurts my wife's head where her glasses go behind the ears as it's tight, and it can't be used while plugged in- either use or charge.

On the plus side, the range seems to be decent: I've gone 30+ feet through a wall at my workplace without any noticeable issues.
