I use wireless in-ear monitors (IEMs) for working out, and occasionally for travel. I’ve also used over-ear full sized wireless. In general my experience has been that the sound can be good, especially for non-critical listening, but not as good as equivalent wired for home listening. All other things being equal, in a quiet listening session, wired will sound better than wireless. And of course with wireless, there are inevitable compromises necessary to make room, physically and in the cost, for the electronics and batteries. However there are always trade offs, and there’s a lot to be said for the convenience of wireless, and the technology has gotten pretty good in the last few years.
