We used to have earbuds that don't need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn't get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k
The ease of pairing Bluetooth headphones lately is pretty nice as well as not having to run a wire up my shirt to avoid snagging.
I do look back kind of fondly on physically plugging in my headphones and just having it work.
for some reason Bluetooth headphones NEVER connect properly for me. I have to delete them and re-add them. Ended up buying $25 IEMs that are wired and they sounded better than my $200 name brand wireless ones lol
What phone do you have? My friend has a Sony Experia phone and despite Sony making boat loads of bluetooth headsets, the bluetooth in his phone is almost unusable.
On my iPhone and my Pixel things just work™
Fucking Sony, they're mad for proprietary shit in the name of protecting the company and completely fuck over the paying user in the process
