I am having a hard time finding a decent pair of wireless headphones under $75?

I am shopping for a decent set of wireless headphones to watch TV/play games with. I'd like something simple. Something you plug into the headphone jack of your device, turn on the headphones, and have them work with little or no tweaking. I've done a lot of Googling and shopping around on different sites and I've discovered that there is no such thing as a quality inexpensive pair of wireless headphones. If you want poor quality you can pay between $15 and $25. But if you want ANY kind of quality (bluetooth, noise canceling, dynamic bass) you have to pay between $100 to $300. In the world of electronics this price gap is disgusting (in my opinion). The (higher quality) technology is almost 2 decades old. It's like trying to sell a 512Mb usb drive for $100. 

I am getting really frustrated because there is no way I can afford that. Some help would greatly appreciated. I'd be willing to pay between $40-$75 for something decent but I don't think it exists... 

Sorry for the lengthy pontification. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bluetooth hasn't really caught on in the electronics market. So, it costs more as fewer devices are made
