BT is good, but anything wired is (and always will be) better and more reliable while being a little less convenient (with some exceptions)

Unless I’m paying for $1600 audio cables my noise-damaged ears can’t tell the difference and I like that I don’t rip things out of them.

audio cables don't matter beyond the $5 range. what you're experiencing with expensive cables is placebo in that case. for me the annoyances with bluetooth are:

  • lag
  • a/v resync
  • high pitched hiss
  • having to keep headphones that used to just plug into the phone charged
  • the fact that bluetooth headphones degrade over time, giving them less longevity than wired
  • interference

i understand there are people in this thread that don't miss headphone jacks, but to act like bluetooth is flat superior is to ignore that bluetooth has genuine downsides that just a wire doesn't

Don't forget audio quality drop when switching from audio only to audio + microphone. Shit drives me up the wall.

Does your fetish extend to pickles as well or in something vital lost in the pickling process?
