Default Small, wireless stereo mics?

It excludes any radio mic. Unless you believe what you see on TV detective
soaps - which wouldn't surprise me.


Yes, I guess I wasn't clear about what I wanted. I don't really care
about the size of the transmitter, within reason. Something the size
of a pack of cigarettes is fine. I was more concerned about the size
of the actual microphones, which I now realize have nothing to do with
the transmitter since I'd be purchasing them separately. My bad.

Anyway, if it helps, here's what I'm trying to do with the equipment:

I want to attach the microphones to the outside of a pair of wireless
headphones, one mic on each ear, giving a stereo effect. Whatever the
mics pick up would be sent off to a wireless headphone transmitter and
then back to the headphones. So the person wearing this contraption
would hear what's going on around them, but only via the headphones.
I realize there will be some sound leaking in from outside, but that's
something I'll have to live with.. at least until someone decides to
give me huge amounts of money for wireless, soundproofed headphones.
