I don't have a problem with wireless headphones when it comes to mobile devices. It sucks, and I wish I still had a headphone jack, but I've kinda come to peace with the fact that wireless accessories for phones are apparently the future.

However, I wish there were "mid/high-end" Bluetooth/wifi cans. All the wireless headphones are either earbuds, IEMs, or overpriced Skullcandy/beats/Bose/apple/etc. I want an AKG or Audio-Technica pair of wireless headphones that go over my ears, and I want an option between closed-back and open-back headphones. I prefer closed-back due to the sound isolation and I'm annoyed that there's a price gap where it's hard to find closed-back headphones in the $300~$600 range.

...or at least it was when I checked a year or two ago; everything with a closed back was either entry (<$100), low-level (<$300) or too expensive (>$600 + $100 or more for an amp, because at that price range most headphones need one).

Edit: oh yeah, and a optional balanced cable that uses a standardized connector, like miniXLR

Focal Bathys? They are expensive and delicate though

Holy shit those actually kinda sound exactly like what I want. They are pretty expensive, and I wonder what the sound quality is like, but those are basically the kinda thing I've been looking for.

As an audiophile, I've tried these at an event and they sound pretty close to audiophile grade wired headphones. They have the Focal house signature (slightly warm but not bassy or boomy)
