I am mostly wireless now. : have three sets of wireless headphones/earbuds. The greatest battery life is with an off brand, single ear that gives at least 24 hours of listening time. Next would be the Aftershokz OpenComm headset which are stereo, bone conduction wrap-around headphones that give about 16 ouours. Then the Apple Airpods Max that seem to give at least 10. I still use the Apple wired airpods at times when I forget to bring along the wireless ones. But, I'd say I have been wireless for two years.
