I’m almost exactly in the same boat, except even at my desk I want wireless. I often turn my camera off and get up to make coffee or go pee in big meetings. It’s great. Even when I’m presenting things, it’s usually only at a specific time, and I can still talk when I’m away from my desk (flip-to-mute microphones are great.)
I have several sets of wired headphones I used to love. I’d buy several sets at once so I already had a replacement when they inevitably broke But I literally can’t remember the last time I used a pair of wired headphones. I only miss 3.5mm on my phone for plugging into my car’s aux port.
Wires are annoying as hell, and a proper desktop wireless headphone will have basically no loss in quality as they have a base station and are not using Bluetooth.
Same with the mouse, for things like gaming latency can be an issue, but a proper one isn’t using Bluetooth either so no issues on that end (or at least the difference is lower than my skill issue, which causes me to lose games)
