Wireless headphones are a great idea but some of the cheaper models tend to lose something in translation from the marketing hype to your living room.

I’ve tried numerous Bluetooth headsets with TV in the last year and some have displayed an inability to match the audio with the moving lips of the wee people living inside my TV.

Still, you get what you pay for and Philips’ latest wireless headset is promising zero syncing issues – at a price. The new SHD9100 Hi-Fi wireless digital headphones are a good-looking, lightweight pair of full headphones, designed for use with your hi-fi or TV. Sound is transmitted on the 2400 – 2483.5MHz frequency which Philips claims will give amazing clarity and no interference.

The glossy black cans boasts a 50mm driver to pump sound up to an impressive range of 30m which, theoretically, means you can wear them anywhere in the house. They also promise perfect lip-syncing with video, even when you move around the room. Lots of promises there.

They come with a neat docking station and all you need is £170.
