While wireless has become the norm for excellent over-ear headphones over the last several years, there are times when wired listening is preferable — or downright necessary.

USB-C playback has proven to be a godsend when you need to keep the tunes flowing while recharging your headphones, but it's far from standard on wireless headphones.
