[Elecraft] OT: Wireless stereo headset recommendations

I am thinking about adding a wireless stereo headset to my KX3 so that I can operate remotely from other parts of my house. I don't want a Bluetooth headset as the range is fairly short. There are other wireless headsets that use UHF I believe that have a much better range.

It would be nice to have a microphone so that I can transmit (using VOX). 

I can change frequency etc already buy using my iPad and VNC looking at my SDR on my PC (HDSDR on a SDRPlay on my IF) which can via Omnirig change the frequency of the KX3. All I lack is the audio, and wireless stereo headset would seem to solve that.

I was speaking to a ham in Wales today who used a Sony wireless headphone to at least listen to his radio from outside the shack (so he can hear if a sporadic E opening is happening). That put the idea into my head.

I have looked at the Sony website, but am more confused than ever. Many headsets refer to PlayStations which I confess to knowing nothing at all about, but appear to connect via USB to the wireless transceiver. I don't want that, I want a couple of jack plugs Mic and headset into the transceiver.

Any recommendations?
