Just mustered up some change to get myself some The MEZE 99 classics, and altho I know the wired quality is much better, I do walk around with my headphones on (even not playing anything just as habit).

for starters, i want it to be bluetooth (or wifi) whichever is better quality, if possible both, so i can use wifi on my computer (not to lose quality) and Bluetooth on my phone.

second option that i really would like to have more than anything is that i want to be able to hotswap batteries. i even got some very shitty steelseries headphones just because they have that option. I want to be able to charge one battery outside of the headset and have it ready to swap with the one inside the headset the moment it is low.

and the third thing is that i would like to make it not look like im wearing a bomb on my head. the sleeker the better.

I am into a lot of DIY so I'm open to any sort of 3d modelling for extra equipment on the headphones. 3D printing and such are on the table, i do know how to solder but i dont know much about circuits.

TLDR: i need options to make MEZE 99 classics wireless while not losing a lot of quality and having hot swappable batteries.

To my knowledge, you don't use wifi the way you think. You only use Bluetooth. What I can think of is buy a short cable that fits the Meze 99's. Ali express has short cables at .5 meters. Then buy multiple Qudelix 5k's to hook up to the short cable and there's your hotswap capability. Or you can use the regular cable and put the Qudelix in your pocket. For longer battery life you can get something like the ifi xcan. Or maybe you're really good at diy and can do something with a tiny version of raspberry pi. Then you plug into that and then you would get wifi going to the raspberry pi.

Not a bad idea actually! Would get better audio with the pi, it just needs more power. I might try to get a pico working if at all possible. I want to make it so that its just the headset and nothing extra. So like no connection to pocket or anything.

I like to clip the Qudelix to the headband of headphones. You'll have to find a way to attach it to the headband. A short cable will suit your needs for that. You can make a diy short cable if you can solder. You can even use the Meze cable to do it. Good luck and post your results!

Try to look for the Earstudio ES100. It's similar and good enough for the brand Spirit Torino to sell with their headphones. If not available, maybe we can work out a deal for my Qudelix.
