Really? I thought wireless ones can surpass that kind of a barrier. Are the iPhone ones that good, perhaps? I've never used them.
A decent driver requires decent power. Wired headphones draw this from the jack, and the headphone amp driving them. Wireless headphones must draw that power from on-board batteries, which also must power the wireless link. It's a choice - do you want fidelity, light weight or battery life? Pick two.
Can't do that. I have no idea which even might be good, since I have no experience in the field. That being said, I have been thinking about it and figured that wired headphones can't be all that bad, considering how little real trouble I have with them. I'll be following the recommendations already given in the threads and see what I will come up with. Thanks for the help.
