Like them or not, wireless headphones are probably your future.

With Apple and others pushing consumer audio in a more fragmented direction, going Bluetooth may soon be your only choice if you want one headphone that works with with all your devices. Even if they're another thing to charge, and even if they can't match the sound of a good wired pair, they'll still be the most convenient way to go - if only by default.

This being the case, more and more headphone companies are making an effort to step up their wireless game. Sennheiser is one such group, and recently it launched the PXC 550 Wireless, a $400 pair of noise-cancelling wireless cans with its sights set squarely on Bose's excellent QuietComfort 35.
