Is the transmitter required or can you run a wire from audio source directly to the headphone? Thinking about getting these for my son. He plans to use them on his home computer. But he'd also like to take them on long athletic team bus trips where he won't be able to carry or plug in the transmitter. Wondering if they have an option to be also used as a wired set, or if he'd need a separate set of headphones for that?
He can't carry the transmitter with him on bus trips and would like to plug headphones directly into his kindle or iPod.

I would suggest that your son get a substantially cheaper set of earbuds. They are virtually weightless and specifically designed for the application you speak of.

This isn't for that purpose. The headset needs the docking station wired to the tv to work.

The transmitter base is required.

You need the transmitter, hence the idea of "wireless". The transmitter is what makes it wireless, and that's where the audio cord connects to.
