I really miss my Bose *on-ear* wireless headphones, which are discontinued. Is anyone making a decent pair of on-ear wireless ‘phones today? (Not over-ear)

For users of sensible mail clients, Has anyone written (and shared) any useful filters for extracting value from JIRA HTML mails? my client currently just dumps the output of "lynx -force_html" but any signal is very much lost in the noise…
