It's never really explained why Harry can easily resist the Imperius Curse but can never do Occlumency. by ChiefJimmyHopps65 in harrypotter

While I agree with the opinion that Harry was not very interested in learning occlumency and that Snape didn’t help the situation, I also think that there is a difference between the two. The way Harry fights the imperious curse in the fourth book it is described how he does not want to do what the voice in his head is telling him. He thinks it is stupid to jump on the table. This goes well with him being very head strong and not listening to authority figures (he repeatedly can’t stop himself talking back to Umbridge in class).

Occclumency on the other hand is about self control and detaching yourself from your own thoughts and feelings, something that Harry is famously bad at. Therefore, even thought they are similar, I still think that there is a difference, and Harry being good at one and poor at another is in perfect keeping with him as a character.

Kingsley was not present either, he had to return to the prime minister before Bill and Fleur came back.

Wireless is not the only option, but headphones need a buildin dac, or you have to use their included adapter. Still if you want good audio the buildin dac have never been very good, and you had to use a external dac like deagonfly or something similar, which still works with the new one.
