Over the years a lot of my headphones that went bad were due to (or started with) the cord. Some of them only worked by putting the cord in a certain position. I'd assume removing that part should improve reliability. You have other factors such as build, brand, materials, etc. to consider though.

The question is entirely too vague. "Do wireless headphones break easily?" There are entirely too many manufacturers out there for someone to make a blanket statement yes or no. What brands are you interested in? What's your budget? What specs are you looking for? All of these factor into the overall quality of the set your looking for.

Similar to the wired ones that always get messed in the left ear?

I'm sick of this wire shyt.
the only thing you gotta worry about is sound and comfort (plus style and name-brand if you're vain :comeon:). Finally got tired of wire issues and went bluetooth a few years ago. had a no name brand that was nice and loud but pretty uncomfortable - no issues aside from that. been had the Hesh 2 Skullcandy bluetooth earphones going on a year and they ain't as boomin (probably a good thing on my ears and shyt) but they are comfortable for the most part, amazing battery life (I've charged them fully maybe 3-4 times all year), and no negatives to really speak about

i have warranty on my sennheiser momentums so i'll use that up just to have something at home.

budget...i dunno...i wouldnt wanna spend more than $150 I guess just because I'll have the sennheisers already. These will be used mainly for the gym/work/commutes.Any brand except beats probably to be honest

Also I know this is a long shot if there are any black owned that be a plus

Wireless headphones come with a cord too :yeshrug:

But at a higher price that some might not be willing to pay as opposed to a regular set of Headphones with the removable cable similar to the trend them DJ Headphones set with the detatchable cables you can change when THAT goes bad.

I'm about to buy my first pair of wireless headphones (V-moda Crossfades :salute:) since I found out they can be switched to 'wired' mode with a cord when you're on a plane and can't be using bluetooth shyt or when the battery dies. Plus all the fears I had back then of using Bluetooth and draining my phone battery since I've decided to use my phone as an mp3 player instead of having a seperate device for that have been negated since portable battery chargers been on the uptick for the past 2-3 years.:myman: 'bout time I step my game up after dealing with them over priced Beats PRO's I had for the last 3-4 years.:smugdraper:
