Oh How I Love My New Wireless Headphones, Let Me Count the Channels!

So you bit the bullet, threw caution to the wind and dumped your emergency meal money into those rockin' wireless headphones you've been eyeing up for the last two months. Now what? How can you get the most mileage from your purchase? Finally having those cord-free cans in your possession opens up a world of possibilities, but few will be as sweet as those between you and your beloved television set. So just for a moment, forget about your laptop and all things mp3, and let's take a look at what your new wireless headphones can do for you and the boob tube.

Here are seven ways for you to put your new wireless headphones and your television to good use:

1. Late Night Television Programming on Wireless Headphones. Flipping channels late one night, you suddenly realize that there has been an episode of The Sopranos that you actually haven't seen all the way through. No need for modesty tonight. Feel free to crank up the volume and enjoy Tony in all his glory even while your four-year-old princess sleeps soundly a few feet away.

2. Dance With the Stars...without seeing them. Feel like cutting a rug with your favorite couple? Go ahead. Watch that DVR'd episode of Dancing With the Stars and show the judges your best Merengue. It's late, no one's watching and your wireless headphones have given you the freedom to move. Try to work on improving those two left feet if you've got them because you can't blame a stumble on the cord.

3. Tune in to your favorite music-only channel and relax in a long, hot bath; or clean the house, or paint the kids' room, or do the laundry. Never miss a moment or a lyric of the music you love as you move freely around the house.

4. Chop 'til you drop. Take your wireless headphones and the sound of your TV-star chef of choice into the kitchen and whip up something yummy. Chop those veggies freely - no worries about accidentally slicing into the cord.

5. Fitness TV with more focus. There's nothing worse than an impromptu yoga session interrupted by the noise of a trash truck or a police siren or the Wii game crowd downstairs. Tune in to your favorite instructor or pop in a DVD, light your best candle, hop on your yoga mat, turn up your wireless headphones and forget about the world around you.

6. Do-it-yourself TV. Feel free to mold that pottery in the garage or start a fresh herb garden in the backyard while the do-it-yourself show of the hour pipes through your headphones to guide you step-by-step.

7. The Big Game. Always wanted to sit courtside at the big game? Use your wireless headphones when you watch the game and catch every moment up close and personal without any background noise to distract you. Don't fight the urge to do the wave or walk outside at half time and work on your jump shot.
