I suggest not wiring with tissue paper if this is a serious issue for you.

Anyway, you can simply not run into stuff with a wire. There's nothing you can do about bluetooth glitching out randomly for five seconds. Not to mention playing the "what device is playing into my headphones" game. Wireless is for people who don't care.

Sure you can. Buy a quality headphone and transmitter device. Never had a BT issue with several airpod models (v1, v2, pro) and an iPhone for 7+ years. And I'm pretty sure most other brands have solved this by now too.

How do you recommend vetting brands? This is simply not a problem wired technology ever had. I can't imagine ever trusting a brand to get things right without my fixing their mistakes.

I had plenty of wired sets where you had to hold the cable just so in order to get audio to play through. Happened a ton with those cheap crappy skullcandy earbuds, but would also eventually happen with the higher quality stuff too.

Just try what most buy and report positive experience with. Do a test drive and return if not satisfied. Try a friend's device.

It's not rocket science.

I've tried 100 euro wired IEMs that had that issue. The wire will inevitably hit something (your own clothing) as you move through the city or you will hear the wind vibrating the cable.

Idk if you just became accustomed to it or what but it was my biggest pet peeve with wired headphones
