If it isn't wired or isn't bluetooth, it ain't gonna happen.  No such thing as HF, VHF, UHF, EHF, ELF, etc. headphones.  Only wired or bluetooth, that's it.

Can't you use USB like wireless mouse and keyboard?

The Logitech G930 should be under your price point. They're alright sound quality and probably the best sound quality you'll get for wireless. They use a proprietary version of bluetooth that runs off of an adapter that comes with the headset. Also Logitech probably has the best wireless out there.

can confirm, G930 is a good choice, used the predecessor and got the new version after it died.

Using it ~1y and still healthy, it's no Sennheiser but sounds are good enough for me, mic is ok but got some complains in ts and bn.

Range is really good, 2-3 concrete walls (without steel) no problem, ~15m  

Battery is truly great!

Watch some vids about it ;)

 

PS: Buy some extra ear pads, included pads were crap sh*t (at least for me and my ears)

Correct me if i'm wrong, learning is a lifelong mission

Doesn't Wireless Keyboard and Mice use bluetooth through the USB adapter? 

Yes, they do.  The USB adapter is bluetooth.  Bluetooth networking transmits data via low-power radio waves. It communicates on a frequency of 2.45 gigahertz (actually between 2.402 GHz and 2.480 GHz, to be exact). This frequency band has been set aside by international agreement for the use of industrial, scientific and medical devices (ISM).  With class 1 Bluetooth devices transmitting at 100mW, which have a standard range of approximately 100 meters or 328 feet, range is comparable to that of an 802.11b WLAN device. Class 1 devices are most commonly implemented in devices where power is plentiful, such as laptop and desktop systems.

 

Looking back at the original poster's question/comment, he says "it cant be Bluetooth".

That means you cannot have Wireless headphones with no bluetooth. You need bluetooth for anything wireless nearly.

I'm using a Corsair H2100 wireless headset that's been a good value to me.  Unless you find a good deal on this unit (they stopped making it) this is the successor from Corsair:

I've heard good things from a friend that bought these, comfortable and good bass for a wireless set under $110.

 

Also for what it's worth, much like the Logitech offerings, these don't use traditional bluetooth (requiring syncing and a standard bluetooth card/adapter) they have a USB wireless stick that just auto-connects to them when they're on, you just plug the stick into USB and it lights up, no fuss (mine also came with a nice cradle so I could put it above my desk).

Don't forget the original poster said, "it cant be Bluetooth".

I know that, he is stating something that a few have already stating that it cannot be done.  Which is why I told him that we already knew that.
