   dedicated frequencies (or    
   whaaaaatever excuse) so that my wifi router is continuously stepping on the   
   headphone. There *is* a trick to work around this by starting the headphones   
   first and then the wifi but I'm just plain fed up with the hassle!

   I would set up one of my Wifi adapters on the computer as   
   a hotspot for WIDI, in the hopes that would give the   
   communications some priority. But the airwaves are shared,   
   and you cannot really "hog" 2.4Ghz and keep it all to yourself.   
      
   And the headphones may not have a selector for 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz.   
      
   If you want "best performance", a simple copper wire gives   
   real time performance :-)   
      
   There might be a QOS feature for the Wifi router.   
   QOS is Quality Of Service, which is a means of assigning   
   a higher priority to a communication.
