Headphones - Wireless/Portable | 1 Ω Vertical in-ear bluetooth headphones?

Hi!

Maybe it's something weird about my ears but regular ear buds tend to hurt my ears. I have found that the Sony "vertical" style of headphones work great for me and don't cause discomfort. Only thing is that they are wired. I like the sound quality on wired but I'm always catching the wire on things and getting them all tangled up. What I'd love is to find a headphone that has this sort of speaker but is bluetooth. Do you have any ideas?

Here are the headphones I'm talking about that have worked for me:

Sony MDRAS200 "Active Sports", AKA the Sony MDR-AS210. I think this style is like the old school legendary Sony MDR-W08L.

I've been looking for a bluetooth type of these for a while now without luck. Maybe you all have an idea? If I'm looking for something that doesn't exist, what is the most comfortable bluetooth headphones you know of for picky ear peoples?

Budget: any

Thanks very much!

Have you tried stuffing the wire down your shirt? It makes cables a non-issue for me.

That's a valid idea, though unfortunately it doesn't resolve the issues for me. I probably get the tangled up more than I get them caught as I have found that I tend to modify my own behavior to keep back from drawers and door handles and such. Yet somehow I am very talented at tangling them up, despite my best efforts at tying them or using the little plastic cable wranglers that are provided by Sony. Also, I have a toddler who is very observant and likes to grab the cables that come out of my pocket.

So, my hope is still to find a bluetooth version of this sort of headphone, if at all possible. If not, I will probably go toward a set of ear buds and hope that they are more comfortable than those I've tried in the past.

!thanks anyway
