I have both wireless and wired. The wireless ones sound fine although if I switch from one to the other the wired are a noticeable improvement. The real issue I have with them is that there’s a noticeable delay that makes watching every video like a dubbed movie. Secondary to that I have never been able to get ones that fit perfectly so I’m constantly having to poke them back in especially if I’m eating or something and my jaw is moving around and there’s just a lot of general bluetooth issues that are annoying. I have a much easier time with the wired ones just working.
But such a tiny, energy-optimized DAC can’t sound really good, can it?

For the places I need portable headphones for,I really don’t care that much about sound quality. And it is by no means terrible.
It can’t match proper headphones. But I listen to podcasts and books, so the audio quality is not that important.
The sound is higher-quality than the files we’re getting from the streams, so it’s fine.
BTR5 on LDAC + wired headphones/IEMs have been doing wonders for me.
The sony wf series sound honestly amazing. Not very repairable though. That counts for every brand though.
