yeah sure not having a wire is nice, but two generations of earbuds from my phones own manufacturer and both pairs i get regularly dogshit audio quality, and half the time one of the buds doesn’t even work or produces barely any audio. There is no way to remedy this even after resetting the buds and the bluetooth connection. and you have to shell out 3x as much money for these things. also it’s yet another device whose charge you have to keep track of
(some) full size headphones get a pass IMO because they actually have enough space for an antenna that has a range greater than 6-12 inches, often have a backup wired input, and are generally held together with screws so you can actually replace the battery when it starts to go in like 2 years. individual wireless buds are the disposable vape of headphones. The sound quality is still likely to be worse, but I can at least understand the tradeoff, and the ANC requires it be stuffed with electronics anyhow so why not also make it wireless.
