I see the point from both side, here. I guess both tech could live together as alternatives.
There's one thing I would ask from manufacturers who go the bluetooth-only way, though: please first make sure a bluetooth receiver can handle multiple connections.
I have bluetooth speakers at home that I've put on top of my sofa, so I can watch movies comfortably without annoying neighbors with loud sound. During the day, my phone is my media center, playing music. But I also want sometimes to play sound from my computer, like when I watch a youtube video.
In order to do that, I plug the speakers' jack to the phone, and connect the laptop through bluetooth. This is awesome and is better than jack only speakers: I can easily plug two devices on it. But if everything was bluetooth only, then it would be a regression, as I could only connect one device.
Could bluetooth multiplexing be a thing? (or are there reasons it couldn't happen?).
I would also love to know if I'm an edge case, or if other people here are doing something similar as well.

- zimpenfish 9y agoMy TaoTronics TT-BA08 can have two devices connected at the same time in receive mode (obviously only one can send data at a time). HOWEVER - and this is a giant caveat - the firmware[1] is really dumb about this because if A and B are connected, A is sending audio, and you move out of range of B, it'll start a plaintive beeping. [1] Might actually be a function of the chipset since it's happened identically on two different dongles that allowed two connections.
