        I mean, I can count how many times I’ve thought “damn I wish I still had wired headphones” on zero hands.

          My complaint has always been that the stupid things need to endlessly be recharged.

          I’ve got some AirPod Pros and they’re great… for about 4 hours.

          Then you’re stopping what you’re doing, recharging for half an hour, and then you’re good for uh, another 3 hours because that wasn’t a full charge.

          And after the 2nd or 3rd time you’ve done that, your case is dead and you get to throw everything on a charger for a couple of hours.

          Ooooooooor I can put in my wired headphones, and not give a shit about any of that, because that’s not how those work at all.

          I suppose most people don’t spend most of their day listening to podcasts and audiobooks and thus 4 hours is fine, but good lord is it annoying as crap.

            You have airpod pros but spending $5 USB-Aux adapter is where you draw the line?

              But then you always need that adapter with you and you can’t charge at the same time

          Must be nice to either accept the objectively worse sound quality of wireless headphones, or be wealthy enough to afford a product that sounds almost as good as the wired version does for ten times the price and just not care about it getting stolen.

            IDK about you, but in the environments where I’d use headphones with my phone are not environments where I’m capable of noticing the audio difference between bluetooth and wired.

            Ten times is an extreme exaggeration unless you’re really at the bottom end of earbuds. Decent quality bluetooth headphones aren’t that much more expensive.
