Wired listening was useful in a pinch, and one reviewer heard no major sound-quality penalty when using it powered on.

The detachable/wired option was useful for moments when wired listening or battery conservation mattered.

Pros: Multipoint connectivity reliability, Software/setup simplicity

Cons: LE Audio readiness, Smart Pause performance

#8 Meze Audio 105 Silva Headphones
3.7

Detachable cable use was mixed, with secure connection praised but aftermarket cable fit called harder due to the recessed/narrow connectors.

Pros: Sustainability and repairability, Replaceable pads/headband

Cons: Noise isolation (passive), Travel friendliness

#9 Audio-Technica ATH-R70XA Headphones
3.4

The detachable cable system is convenient for some because it locks, removes, and routes either way, but others dislike the proprietary or over-complicated design.

Pros: Software/setup simplicity, Weight comfort

Cons: Travel friendliness, Sound leakage

#10 Baseus Inspire XH1 Headphones
3.0

The detachable cable was useful as a dead-battery backup, but wired listening was not treated as the best way to use the headphones.

Pros: Maximum volume clarity, Headband adjustability

Cons: Cable quality, Smart Pause performance
