Good wireless headphones come with a cable, so you can have your cake and eat it too with zero latency and zero battery consumption when you need that.

It's pretty rare that I'll plug in that cable to be honest. Mind you, mine have lower latency than most brands.

Yeah, I have a pair of AudioTechnica ATH-M50xBT (the -BT is for "bluetooth") that I usually use in wireless mode to connect to my PC, and I really like them. I'll use the cable when the battery dies and I really don't want to use my screen's built in speakers. They're on-ear with closed backs, so they do a decent job of blocking noise even without ANC. I like the sound quality, but I'm not an audiophile or anything.

I use them in wired mode with the in-line mic for my work computer (which disallows bluetooth connectivity) for Teams/Zoom calls.
