Actually the N5005 is very special, because it is BOTH wireless and wired, right out of the box! This is a result of its advanced design, where the cables can be removed from the speaker pods by clicking apart the MMCX connectors. The flexibility in this arrangement becomes very clear when you look at the cables that are in the box when you open it. First, there is the normal cable with 3.5 mm stereo jack and a three-button remote control. This cable is for normal sources, smartphones, tablet computers etc. There is a switch on the back of the remote that permits you to select Android/universal or iOS remote function, for total flexibility. Second, you get the Bluetooth cable, which has a battery box and a three-button remote on the cable. This cable simply converts your N5005 into a wireless headphone. AptX and AAC are supported, but not aptX HD or LL. BT transmission will not be capable of unlocking the full potential of the N5005 due to its nature as a lossy compression system, but it is nice to have this option. The cable has a chin slide lock that can secure the headphones under your chin. Playing time is up to 8 hours, and charging takes place in less than 2 hours. Third, as an indication of the high quality of audio that N5005 masters, you get a special, fully balanced cable without remote control. It uses the 4-pole 2.5 mm jack that you will find on the new generation of high-end headphone amplifiers and music players. With this connection and the proper source material and electronics, you can experience the pinnacle of music reproduction.
