Oof, $800. That's waaay into audiophile territory. Not worth paying 10x the price to lose the wires. I agree with the op post in that I don't need that kind of quality. Budget wireless open back headphones are all im looking for.

Grado makes a wireless set but idk if you'd consider $275 budget pricing.

I tried those but somehow they were the most uncomfortable headphones ever. I'd also have to give up using it's mic which was half the reason I got them.

Almost forgot about the hifiman deva, it's been a while since I went looking for wireless open-backs. The cups on those should be much more comfortable than the grados.

Oooh neat. I haven't seen those before. Good price and reviews suggest it doesn't weigh it towards the BT adapter side. I might grab those. Thanks!

If you’re willing to deal with a bit of bulk there are adapters. They look silly but I hear they work fine. Or even better, you could get a portable amp like the Qudelix 5k and just mount it to the headband. This is max silliness and adds a significant amount of bulk, but the 5k also allows for EQ.

Anyway I agree, stick with budget. I fucked up and got way into it and I don’t think it’s improved my life. It’s way less convenient as well. Like with most things in life, better to not stray from accessible options, especially for taste-based things that you might accidentally like too much.
