One thing I'd recommend doing for anyone thinking about using wireless headphones is check what codecs are supported by both the headset and whatever OS you're using it on.
My Sony WH-H910N h.ear on 3 (~£250-300) got rid of some high quality codecs that were supported on Windows(aptX) and replaced them with Sony's proprietary* LDAC codec for which there is no Windows implementation. There exists one for Linux due to implementation being done for Android and someone porting it over.
Thus the only way to get decent sound quality on Windows to use cord.
Very annoying that reviews don't mention OS/headphone codec compatibility.
*decoder and encoder are both proprietary but encoder is open under Apache license but Sony didn't bother writing driver for Windows.
