I've recently switched to bluetooth in ears (Jaybird Freedom) and it significantly improves my "user-experience" of listening to music on the go.
I don't have to carry my phone with me when I go jogging (smartwatch) and even if I did I could put it in any pocket without having to make sure that the cable is long enough.
Pulling the phone out and using it is also more pleasant without a cable. Another example is me being in the kitchen and listening to music with the phone lying around somewhere 5m away from me.
I know it is currently expensive (the Jaybird Freedom cost $200) but I believe that the general direction Apple is taking here is the right one. Prices for such headphones will go down and battery life will improve. (although battery life is already sufficient for me)
Once you can get something comparable for $50 I believe most people will switch.
