There are very few wireless options. You’ll need to use a 2.5ghz dongle to reach decent latency. Aiaiai studio Tma-2 has sub 20ms latency which will work for footage 24fps or above to keep sync. I’ve been testing Steelseries Arctis earbuds which are sub 30ms and haven’t had any problems….. buuuut I would suggest safer to get a pair of wired Sony cans as recommended by others in this sub.

If you prefer on-ear, HD25. If you prefer over-ear, AIAIAI TMA-2 custom built is great.

Beyerdynamic DT 700 pro X are V shaped. They have decent quality for the price and solid comfort due to the large cups. What I disliked about them was that certain aspects are scooped. That frequency range where a driven guitar has its foundation and the bass guitar has its body, the lower mids. On my head, this was seriously under represented and I had to look at something else. Sony 7506 gets a lot of love, but these have harsh treble and the ear cups are tiny and shallow. Audio Technica ATH-M 50 is somewhat poor in build quality, compared to others in the same range, but it also is a bit like a better Sony. The mids are okay, the treble is boosted but less harsh and it's a bit bigger than the Sony. Something of an oddball: The AIAIAI TMA-2 Studio. Is comfy, can do metal, is warm, does not overburden you with treble. There is a lot of detail, but compared to the Sony, they feel muffled up top. For listening to metal on higher volumes, this won't fatigue your ears as much as most others. On paper, they look like you can run them with mobile devices easily, but they take quite a bit of juice to get going. Sennheiser HD-300 Pro. These look like Sennheiser took the 280 and slightly beefed it up, but they are not. The whole headphone is larger, more comfortable, has different drivers and different ear cups. I did not want to try them at first because they look just like the 280. In the end, I bought them. They are quite flat in their response and I prefer that with most music styles that use instruments, especially metal, hardcore and rock. No bloated bass, silky smooth treble and the most comfortable fit I ever experienced with a closed back. If you rejected them for the same reason as me, give them a fair chance.

I use a pair of AIAIAI TMA-2 Studios while producing/writing/tweaking the creative mix, then I move to a pair of Sennheiser HD600s /w Sonarworks for more critical listening and mixing.

any interest in AIAIAI'S TMA-2 lineup?

That depends on the parts you pick, they're modular (speaker units, ear pads, headband & cable type) -> https://aiaiai.audio/headphones/studio-headphones there's on-ear pads and over-ear pads, most isolating would probably be the polyurethane leather over ear pads (E04).
