Can I use wireless headphones for podcasting?

For editing — yes. For recording — no. Bluetooth introduces latency (delay between your voice and what you hear) that makes real-time monitoring impossible. Always use wired headphones when recording.

How much should I spend on podcast headphones?

The sweet spot is $70-150. The Sony MDR-7506 at $80 and Audio-Technica ATH-M50x at $150 are the two most popular choices among professional podcasters. Spending more gets you comfort, not necessarily better monitoring accuracy.
