The use of wireless headphones brought a new kind of freedom. I gave my se
rvices on the first sessions. While the orchestra was rehearsing, we could
move freely in the recording space, and make small changes in the microphon
e positions etc, and with the headphones on, hear immediately the effect of
what we were doing without speaking a word and disturbing the rehearsal.

Again - I don't have the audio engineering side that's on display in
this group, and am coming in purely from the music writing side.

I find latency to be a problem with a lot of wireless gear. Probably
less important for conducting or recording an orchestra, but when
trying to play a keyboard into a an effects-heavy track on Logic for
instance there's already often a lag even on wired. Add in the
sometimes 200ms for wireless headphones and it starts getting really
annoying.

I have a pair of Yamaha bluetooth MIDI adapters, these in fact:

They're not bad, but again I can notice a slight lag when playing and
it's just enough to irritate me.

I use Audio Technica MT-50x headphones when writing/playing/faffing
about (the more technically accurate term for the vast majority of what
I do), and I use them precisely because they're relatively flat
according to all reviews (and to my experience). Good phones,
reasonable price - nice things.
