I have a pair of really good wired Sennheisers. I never owned or used Bluetooth devices for more than giving it a try. I may be audiophile. But when I put a music on I want to get fully absorbed and hear every little detail while I don't worry about battery life. Sounds weird I know

When you do try bluetooth again, try full cans from a good brand. No earbuds at all. Check which codecs the cans will use. Just cans vs earbuds makes a hug sound and comfort difference. Literally, you get larger drivers and a larger battery, so physics is already on your side vs earbuds.

  I think the only wireless 'full cans' I've tried are beats which I don't like the sound profile of anyway. Also larger battery surely will decrease the comfort from its weight? However I keep my ears open :)

I'm a bit of a fan! I have: PX100s for when I am out of the house (but not when driving!) because they sound good but do not isolate me from my surroundings. HD220s for radio and TV (on tablet or phone) late at night. HD485s for paying attention to music.

I may be audiophile Theoretically I don't think there's a reason why it wouldn't be possible to make the sound produced in the audible range the same (preferrably roughly matching Harman target out of the box) for wired and wireless. But yes, I'd never trade the slight inconvenience a cable is with the amount of inconveniences of wireless. Especially the battery: I grew up having to deal with battery life in portable players (cassette, minidics, you name it) and this finally got a lot better so I almost don't have to care anymore (talking actual music players, not smartphones), I'm really not going to go back to something inferior again. It's fascinating how well this has been marketed though, but that's really almost all there is to it for me: just marketing, not a whole lot of actual value.
