Audio-Technica M50X BT

$199

The Audio-Technica M50X BT is the only V-shaped wireless headphone on this list. While a flatter balance is often preferred for classical and jazz music, the M50X BT offers some delightful surprises to the classical and jazz fan. And it’s a popular choice for music enthusiasts who listen to these genres. With disciplined bass and buoyant highs, these headphones deliver light and playful strings, super-transparent-sounding brass instruments, and crystal-clear percussion. The rich low-end also adds a satiating majesty to bass instruments without bleeding into the midrange or sounding sluggish. So, if you seek a dynamic profile with a dramatic contrast between highs and lows, the M50X BT will provide extra liveliness to your tracks.

You can buy the Audio-Technica M50X BT at Audio 46.

Grado GW100x

$275

The Grado GW100x is the technological evolution of a retro brand with a cult-like following. Made in Brooklyn, NY, Grado is well-known for producing highly detailed sound, and their wireless headphones are widely considered to be some of the most optimal for jazz music. The GW100x now delivers these sound qualities in wireless form.

It’s important to note that the GW100x is an open-back wireless headphone, meaning it leaks both in and out of the sound. (Open-back headphones offer a larger soundstage, but they are best suited for relatively quiet spaces.) For its price, the tastefully balanced GW100x provides one of the most expansive and multidimensional soundstages on the market and maintains the precise, transparent, and distinctly Grado-ish personality that has made this niche headphone company so famous.

You can buy the Grado GW100x at Audio 46.
