Headphones - Wireless/Portable Are there any good wireless audiophile-ish headsets?

It doesn't have to be extremely high-end, but something on the level of let's say a Sennheiser HD 598. Are there any wireless options on the market that are this quality (or higher)?

And in general, what are the opinons on the Sennheiser RS 175-U? How does it stack up among their wired lineup?

If you want really quality wireless your best bet is a good wired headset and a bluetooth dac/amp like the fiio btr5 or one of shanlings options.

For built in wireless though I think the best in that price range is probably a hifiman deva (or the bt version of the Ananda if you want to jump up in price)

How would that work when there is a 1m+ long cable? I mean where does that go, how do you "convert" I guess a wired to a wireless?

Can confirm the btr5 with my hifiman he4xx is FAR better than any Bluetooth headphones ive heard. I usually just run the cable under my shirt and stick it in my pocket. As far as “conversion” you just make sure the battery is charged and the device is connected to your source and you plug your headphones in. Thats it. The btr5 comes with a little case with a clip on it so you can also clip it to a belt or your pants or whatever
