Open Backed Wireless Headsets...

[Straz]

Is it me or do these not exist? I can't stand closed back as my ears get hot and uncomfortable.

I've looked everywhere and just can't find any that will compare to say the Sennheiser 363D.

If I have missed one then please do tell.

I'm fed up of wires getting caught under my chair, so looking for a wireless solution. Sound quality for music is not important.

If indeed they don't exist does anyone have a theory why?

My other option is something like the Sennheiser RS220 with a decent desk mic however I'd prefer an all in one option.

Can't say I've seen any either. To get wireless comparable to the PC363D, they'd likely need to be Sennheiser anyway, which rules out a wireless headset, leaving their wireless headphones.

I would guess the lack of open wireless headsets is possibly down to engineering challenges. There's probably more electronics in a wireless headset than wireless headphones, which in turn have a lot more electronics than standard analogue. Whilst open wireless headphones do exist, they are probably not that common and will be made by companies that specialise in headphone design, like Senneheiser, etc. They have a wealth of knowledge about how to engineer an open wireless headphone, unlike peripheral manufacturers that specialise in keyboards and mice. It's far easier and cost effective for them to cram all that into a closed design, I'd imagine.
