I see, I made an unwarranted assumption about your prior post. And possibly over-explained bluetooth details. I apologize if that was patronizing. I hope you'll agree that there is some number of devices beyond which we don't really need to worry about now many of them headphones can attach to. For me, for now, 2 or 3 would definitely be a problem, while 8 is more than sufficient. My intention in this conversation is not to make a claim that there are no tradeoffs to be made, but to take issue with the poorly thought out nature of the article. In fact, I think you make a better point than any of Ms. Goode's. And I'm willing to mention a couple of others. 1) It's not a super common case, but I have been in a situation where I was listening to music on my headphones, and wanted to hear what someone else was listening to on their player. With regular headphones, all you have to do is unplug and plug them into the other player, while bluetooth headphones would require the pairing complication (and un-pairing manually, lest you over time eject your own devices). 2) Wireless interference can be an issue in some circumstances. At one office desk where I sat, the Elite 800X cans had an issue with their connection to my Macbook, which I attributed to the in-office cell phone signal booster that was perched up on the wall above me. The audio stream would cut in and out rapidly. That was annoying.
