Audio Technica just released a wireless model in its popular StreamSet category of headphones. The new ATH-M50xSTS-WL is the very first wireless version in the lineup. 

These cans don't connect via Bluetooth, as StreamSet headphones are primarily intended for content creators, streamers and gamers, all of which require ultra-low latency. They connect via 2.4GHz, so there's a USB transceiver that hooks up to PCs and gaming consoles like the PS5 and Switch 2. The battery lasts for around 24 hours and is charged via USB. The headphones can still work while being charged, via a wired connection.
