usability and portability are what makes BT headphones great. Which BD or Shure gives me 10x the audio-performance while still being able to be used without cables (optionally)?

By portability I mean it can be used anywhere, with any equipment.

There’s still lots of places you won’t find Bluetooth, but there’s very few places you won’t find a connector for a 3.5mm jack.

That's fine and my BT sennheiser still has a 3.5mm jack. Presumably so do most/all BT headphones?
