I don’t fully agree with parent about all drawbacks for wireless headphones but I do agree with Bluetooth having issues. In particular in Apple hardware. My AirPods will drop out if I cover my iPhone 11 Pro with my hand in my pocket. My Bose NC 700 will either drop out or cause my magic keyboard to lose connection if they are too close to my MacBook Pro. I’ve learned to live with these things as I understand they are minuscule problems to have, but the point still stands. Bluetooth has issues.

I'd love the have a fixed BT or alternative: - multi/broadcasting support - separate device-per channel support - better device management - priorities, user/sensor/audio context into driver (when to do hand-off and when not to) have my BT "stolen" by the wrong device daily - a battle between by local headset/speaker, the car's BT stack, and my headphones... It's great having a minijack to plug into as a backup -- I use it often in the car or w/headphones if I forget something or of BT is giving me a headache - don't think I'd buy a phone w/o one as long as I have a choice. (At least up to my Galaxy S10 there is still one.)

  I’ve had similar issues across multiple AirPods and iPhones.

  Away from my desk I've been using Bluetooth headphones exclusively for over a decade now, and it does happen just as much with non-Apple phones. It's just some configurations of phone antennas and device antennas are unhappy together when they're both on your body. My anecdotal evidence is that AirPods have really solid Bluetooth reception with my iPhones.
