We once waited until the tech matured before removing older legacy components. Last I checked, Bluetooth audio still sucks, and Apple knows it, which is why they supplied a dongle to get around the justified complaints.
- bdcravens 8y agoI guess that depends on your definition of sucking. Between AirPods, random $10 BT speakers, my car, and a pair of Bose QC's, my phone (X) works well with BT, but I may not be a discerning audiophile.
- londons_explore 8y agoI have never found any pair of Bluetooth devices which can play audio all evening without at least one click or stutter.
- therealx 8y agoMy Sennheiser bluetooth monitors work just fine all night without clicks or stutters.
- JustSomeNobody 8y agoIt isn't even the clicks or stutters, though that can be annoying. It's the stickiness. I turn on my bluetooth speaker and ... it connects to a phone in the other room. So, now I have to walk through the house to find it and turn off bluetooth. Now I can connect to the speaker with my phone. Headphones, same issue, phone wants to initially connect to any other bluetooth device except the headphones in my hand. So, now I have to dig into settings, etc... I don't have that issue with 3.5mm jacks.
- threeseed 8y agoI have the AirPods, Sony 1000mx3 and Sennheiser Momentum and Bluetooth audio quality is perfectly acceptable to me.
- bigwheeler 8y agoAgreed. I can’t even get through a phone call without one of my AirPods losing the signal at least once.
