Just buy wireless Porta Pros if you like it's sound, there's not much difference in sound between wired and bluetooth especially with aptx.

However, even wireless Porta Pro has small wire, doesn't really stuck on doorknobs though.

It’s strange how HE 1 feels not worth it despite many of us spending more money on things we use less. Car enthusiasts here on the higher end of the hobby have similar sentiments: of a car collection, at least one costs far more than the headphones and sits with the battery disconnected. Yet HE 1 feels more wasteful.

I obviously don’t think this applies to most people here, but I’ve seen several comment that they could purchase HE 1– except it doesn’t seem worthwhile. Hifiman’s Shangri-La [Sr] feels like the highest point non-billionaires should consider, but on its face that makes little sense. Perhaps it’s the opulence of HE 1’s materials, which feel less functional?
