A perspective from for whom no cable is life changing.
I have very sensitive ears and I always found the cable getting caught on something, even a minimal one just behind the head, pulling down on my ears which is a very unpleasant experience for me.
I can listen to an audiobook as I’m falling asleep with just one earbud in and no cables in my face. Being able to use just one at a time without having to tuck a cable into my shirt or down my collar which always comes out is fantastic in general.
I’m very active and being able to have two little pieces of plastic that I can tuck into a case with no cable in my pocket is very nice when my headphones go in and out of my pocket all day. Even the minimal wire on wire conneted bluetooth buds means careful wrap and store or risk cable strain from tangling in my pocket w/ my wallet keys phone etc.
I personally find connected wireless headphones to be the worst of all worlds, you still have most of the problems that come with a cable wrapped around your head brings and with all the downsides of wireless.
