As for wireless and IFE, you can use a bluetooth transmitter like this:

Biggest issue with these if watching a movie is that the sound is, IME, slightly delayed. This means that the audio and video are slightly out of sync, so it looks like bad dubbing. If this bothers you, then wired is the way to go. If it doesn't bother you, worth a try.

Thanks GoBlue - I think I will need to get the wired ones. As sound delay would kill me watching videos, but not so much running... hmmm think I will opt for a wired set.
