Can't help you with wireless *cringe*
I use pro in-ears meant for stage monitoring (-> passive noise attenuation) for everything: commuting, mastering, high end listening.
Not willing to wear these head torture devices aka over ear headphones, personally.
They were less than $100: AKG IP2 (discontinued). Thanks Harman for ****ing AKG up, too, by the way. Look what they did to Proceed and Levinson.
what did Harman do?
I am personally disappointed with them. Of course the closing of AKG in Austria, but also the cost reduction they implemented in the high end range of products:
In the heydays in the mid 90s they had a high end brand for stereo music electronics (Mark Levinson) and another for multi channel, for home theater, respectively (Proceed). The build quality and sheer engineering of ML was over the top, while Proceed was the best you could get for home theater, we are talking Laserdisc and early DVD era. The Proceed products borrowed from ML technology but were built to be more cost effective, while despite this had four- and five-digit price tags.
What they then did is cancel the Proceed line of products altogether, and build the ML products the Proceed way, i.e. "cost effective". I am disappointed because I own ML equipment that was built the old way, large, heavy, beautiful. Price tags meanwhile are even more astronomic than before, for what you get today. I think they have great engineers but the costs just exploded.

which ones? I recommended the etymotic er4s as a great passive isolation earphone. They attenuate enough to safely be worn at an indoor gun range.
As stated, the AKG IP2
- more prosumer than the quite extreme etymotic er4s
