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.

How important is weight of the headphones? The ones I've ever used I can only classify as lightweight, and I find it not affecting me significantly in one way or another. Never wore a heavy hat, either.

Let's come at this the other way. Show me wireless headphones that you think are good.

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.
