I am no expert, but I believe that without the defibrillator that I have, I would be dead.
You're fine

The only cause for worry is the strong magnet in some of the high-end headphones resting directly on your pacemaker. Some of these have a very strong rare-earth magnet and may trip the "MRI" switch in your PM. This has nothing to do with them being wireless. High-end wired headphones will have the same issue.
BTW, if it does trip the switch, it won't cause any serious issues. The pacemaker will enter an open-loop mode with a fixed rate. You might notice it but it won't cause any permenant damage to it, or you.
