Best Sounding Budget Wireless Cans?

I have Senny HD600's, Grado SR 225's and modded Fostex RP-50's.
I like the sound of each in their own way but want something to wear wireless around the home that sound as good as the HD600's.
Already have some OK Turtle Beach X41 gaming cans but they're not REAL audio quality.

It's a whole new world of quality sounding wireless cans out there I am totally unfamiliar with..
I just need wireless for 100 feet or so, Don't mind full size over ear and no bluetooth needed......yet.

What's a really decent, durable, full sounding set of wireless cans that will satisfy without breaking the bank?
I don;t mind buying used and love modding....
Somebody here must have an idea!! :rockon:

You mention 'budget' but what IS your budget?

The same audio quality as HD600s but wireless wouldn't be a much of a budget choice, I'm guessing.

< $300. Used is acceptable. People upgrade, sell and trade over time.

As far as BT is concerned, I picked up some used Sennheiser Urbanite XL Wireless just to try the concept. They sound surprisingly good when used with aptX transmitters, way better than I thought possible with BT. They are also nice sounding, fun to listen to headphones when used with a wire and fold for travel. Worth having for those things our main wired sets just can't do.
 
No noise cancellation but pretty good noise isolation as people have to make an effort to get my attention when I have them on. Battery life is incredible, claimed to be 25 hours. I don't log the time but at this point I believe them. All in all it is one of the most impressive pieces of technology I have seen.

Apparently the Momentum 2.0 (Now HD) wireless are even better but I have not tried them. A friend who works in a high end audio store was raving about them and he does not even like headphones.

Not sure BT will make it 100 feet as per OP's requirement.

Here is the complete list of best wireless headphones.
 
You won't get anywhere near 100ft. with BT. Lucky to get 30ft. LOS. You can get greater distance with RF but much poorer sound quality. Personally I plug in the small Maceton W4MU BT 4.1 APT-X lossless amp/DAC receiver w/ bass boost (about $22.00 Amazon) to a good set of headphones for some surprisingly good sound. One problem with the Maceton though is it's relatively short range (~15 ft.) before it starts to have drops.
