Help shopping for wireless headphones

Hello

I'm looking to get some nice new wireless headphones. Hopefully with a changing station/dock off some sort.

But I'm as useless as a brain dead cabbage when is comes to audio tech.  :unsure: 
I have a budget of around £100 and I have no clue what to look for, what brands are good, etc

 

I'm only going to use them with my computer so don't think range is going to be an issue. 

 

If you know any good headphones that I should check out or even can point me in the right direction. It would really help :)

My brother has a pair of cheap Sennheiser, I think the RS120.  He loves them for the convenience, but they suck.  They sound tiny, just plain crappy.  It has a range of 30 ft about, has a nice dock thingy.  I had a set of Sony bluetooth IEMs.  They sounded pretty good, but the range was within arm lengths of my desk.  Get something with bluetooth if you care more about sound quality, get RF if you care about range.

Thanks Donk
I did look at the RS120 but they had a lot off mixed reviews. 
In fact everything I have look at so far gets bad or mixed reviews :(

If I wanted a wireless headset I would get the SHP9500 and an Mpow bluetooth adapter, then using a velcro tie thingy connect them together like in this video.  No dock, and you can't use them and charge at the same time though.

Technically you would not need any velcro. Just the headphones and the adapter.

 

I am confused on why so many people are looking for wireless headphones these days. They are usually more bothersome than they are useful.

I want to go wireless to get rid off the cable going across my desk and so that I can lean back in my chair without worrying about damaging any cables too :)
