I also highly prefer wired. If that’s not an option, the best compromise I’ve found so far is a model where the two actual earbuds are wired together and they only connect to your device via bluetooth. It’s a short cable, so you can very comfortably wear it behind your neck so you don’t have worry about them falling out or losing them. Decent sound too and they’ve lasted more than a year so far despite being cheap compared to other bluetooth earbuds
I tried playing HL2 once, got to the airboat section near the start and then got so motion sick from it for multiple hours that I have accidentally Pavlovian conditioned myself to never want to try another Half-Life game again
