If you are staying in a big family, then you would have definitely faced this problem. You want to listen to music or watch a movie on your PC / laptop. But you also want that nobody in your family should be disturbed. What do you do then?
I have purchased a Wireless Headphone. But it is costly.
I have found another way that can be a cheaper option, if you already have iPhone or iPod Touch.
Turn iPod Touch or iPhone to Wireless Headphone
AudioIn – WiFi wireless headphone for iPhone/iPod Touch
AudioIn can turn your iPhone / iPod Touch into a wireless HiFi stereo headphone.
AudioIn comes with free AudioServer with which you can transmit the non-DRM audio output from any application running on Windows Vista (i.e. Windows Media Player, Media Center, and iTunes etc.) wirelessly to iPhone/iPod Touch. This way you can be away from your PC / laptop but can still listen to your music on your iPhone/iPod
The AudioServer application captures the audio output from any running applications and transmits that captured audio wirelessly to AudioIn on your iPhone/iPod Touch. AudioServer application should be running on your iPod Touch or iPhone.
AudioIn Requirements
- iPhone or iPod Touch with firmware version 2.2.1.
- iPhone 3G has to switch to WiFi mode.
- Any PC or laptop running Vista (all version).
- iPhone/iPod Touch and the the AudioReceiver PC must be on the same subnet.
- The AudioServer application must be downloaded and installed on your PC.
They are providing a free version of software that can be downloaded. Download and try it, if you like it then go for full version by purchasing it. For more details, Check out mbpowertools
I faced problems setting up AudioIn because my laptop doesn’t have Stereo Mix under Recording option. If you face the same problem, then check these below two posts:

– Use Virtual Audio Cable (VAC) to solve missing stereo-mix problem

If you have a iPod Touch or iPhone, Try downloading free version and check how it works.
Sounds nice, thanks for sharing. I’ll download a free version
That’s really good, my only problem is that I am still on XP and I can’t update because the business software won’t run on Vista. Oh well, I reckon I will just have to imagine that it is working for me.

@Sire, i think it works only with Vista.
Yeah, just my luck. Oh well, it was a nice thought while it lasted.
