It does not have to be one or the other. I use wireless outside to listen audio books and podcasts and for this purpose they are ideal. Audio quality not so important. Wouldn't want to go back messing with wire on the street, have been destroying many wires and pairs because I'm clumsy. At home when listening music, have some wired higher end comfortable overears, perfect sound quality and comfort. Working with noise cancelling overears, most important are ANS and when meetings one can move around freely and not be attached to device. So I'm using them in combination, based on what's the situation.
