It's not just an issue with cheap headphones either. High quality wired headphones are expensive. getting the same quality in a wireless variation will easily increase the price twofold. The problem is even worse if like me you prefer in-ear to headphones. Those are basically not even available in wireless versions not to mention a nice balanced armature headphone is bulky enough, adding a battery isn't going to make that better.
Additionally I've never had connection trouble with wired headphones which is bound to happen with wireless headphones.
In my opinion wireless headphones aren't better in any way shape or form. They fill my needs poorly.
full disclaimer: I'm not and never have been an apple user, but since no-jack-itis is starting to plague android phones as well I'd figure I'd put in my 2c.
- jotjotzzz 9y agoExactly how I feel. I have grown accustomed to listening using all my high quality wired headphones, and equivalent wireless alternatives are expensive. Also, converting my already great wired headphones is not possible without degrading the sound with any wireless Bluetooth connectivity options. Not to mention, wireless options run out of battery. Not great. I can see slowly removing this option but being forced to do so is annoying. Also, I doubt Steve Jobs would love the dongles idea either.
