Here's the thing: either you deal with wires, or you deal with batteries.
I don't like wires, but by god i can't stand batteries. You gotta charge them, they can run out, they degrade over time, they make the device more expensive, they're more complicated, also wireless transmittion (wifi/bluetooth) is less reliable compared to the simplicity and immediacy of you plug something in and it's almost impossible for it not to work. All of my shit is wired.
Though i admit wires vs batteries is circumstancial. I don't get wireless mice or keyboards, but i do get wireless headsets, you can go anywhere around the house, and when you're outside it doesn't snag on anything.
just tuck the wire in your shirt and through the pants. ezpz
It feels like such a solution in search of a problem, why would I need wireless earbuds for possibly the single device I own that, if I'm using it, will never be more than wire-length away from my ears, it's literally either in my hand or in my pocket
you cant even get that far away from it before the bluetooth loses connection
Wat. I mean unless I'm in a concrete building with concrete walls i can walk the entire span of my house and only at the edge will it cut out.
I like to hike and walk a lot though, and having the ability to only have 1 earbud in with no wires is bliss
