Cutting the cable, lets talk options and media setups

The Roku stick plugs into the HDMI, not USB. Also, the Roku3 has the edge IMO because of the wireless headphone jack in the remote.

I was looking at getting a Amazon Fire TV stick for the boy's TV (since the PS3 is in the main room), so he can watch Netflix and Amazon Prime stuff.

However, I know he wakes up very early and would probably prefer to use headphones.

I was looking into wireless headphones that would have the transmitter connected to the TV audio out. Anyone use something like that? Otherwise, the idea of just plugging in any headphones to the remote of the Roku3 is interesting. Just not sure it's $50 more interesting.

I just use my wireless PS3 headphones for the main room and my computer (works via USB). So, not up on the other options out there.
