After the wife goes to bed I will frequently use my wireless Sabra Elite Bluetooth earbuds or my wireless Bluetooth Bowers and Wilkins headphones, both Aptex HD from my integrated amp that sends the same quality of signals to them. I think the headphones sound slightly better, but can't be used laying on a pillow like earbuds can. I think the SQ is better from my Monitor Audio Gold 100 speakers with the sound not in my head but around me in my acoustically correct room. But keep in mind I'm 65 with decades of shooting and sirens degrading my hearing a bit. YMMV.
