Thanks. I had forgotten about those. It would be an option. Hoping for something a little less bulky but won't have many options.
I have one and love it. It might be my all time favorite and most versatile piece of audio equipment. I may even try to mod a pair of headphones to mount it on a pair. I also have had the EarStudio es100. I'm frequently fighting with wires and up and down a lot so if I can avoid dealing with the wire on a pair of headphones it would be optimal.
Yes. Not a huge fan of things in my ears and generally they aren't open back so I can hear my surroundings. I know some do an audio passthrough with mics but my limited exposure hasn't been that great an experience.
Aurvana Air (Creative and wired) are still my favourite but sound quality really depends of inserting them adequate and its not neither easy or straightforward. Luckily those pretty much stay as placed but they aren't exactly for active sports.

This has been the most likely one for me to get. Every time I get close to buying it I remind myself of all of the Grado's (6 pairs) I've ever had and how uncomfortable they feel for me. This one doesn't use the same pad either so I'd be stuck with stock. I may still get them. I haven't decided. I really miss the enveloping sound of Grado but haven't been happy with the comfort for a long time.There's these grado ones too.
Some measurments here.GW100x
Our first wireless headphone becomes even better with Bluetooth 5.2, longer battery, and our new X Drivers. Nothing is lost except the wires.
Edit: not over ear though
There is something about this idea that appeals to be even if it isn't very realistic.
I can personally attest to the Utws3s successfully powering a pair of Focal Clear MGs. I wouldn't try it with anything much less sensitive though (the Utw5s might give you a little bit more power).
Thanks. I wasn't aware of these. I've never paid much attention to Hifiman after briefly owning a pair of HE4XX. I didn't like the comfort of them and got rid of them after a couple weeks. I prefer the elongated cups like this Ananda and round pads like the HE4XX don't seem to work on my head.
