I presume you mean at home, since the large base station is
hardy what one would want to carry around, not to mention
that the majority, if not all, use an AC adapter rather than
batteries to power the base.
For that purpose, it really isn't significant that it's an
MP3 player. For good corded headphones there's impedance
issues, the ability to drive some of the higher grade
'phones, but not with wireless since the amplification is
active, after transmitted.
Headphones vary so wildly in price, you really have to have
an idea of what the budget is. Also you'll need an idea of
how long you need them to run, as they get quite a bit
heavier if containing a pair of AAA batteries, yet might run
quite a bit, possibly multiple times longer if one can judge
by the battery capacity alone (I don't know, haven't
compared runtimes myself beyond passively).
Except for the battery capacity issue, my generic suggestion
would be Sennheiser RS-65. It's median in it's class, there
are others more and less expensive. All cordless seem to
kill the treble somewhat, though it may be partially a
necessity for noise reduction of the transmitted signal,
unless it were digital but I don't recall anything digital,
probably expensive enough that most people would settle for
a cord before paying that much.
