Do people dislike wireless or do they dislike Bluetooth?
Because Bluetooth sucks. It's a shame it's the industry standard.
Bluetooth support is still spotty on Linux, which to me is continued evidence that the stack is complicated and bug-ridden.
Even for my high-end BT devices, there are still lots of problems. In addition to the problems listed elsewhere in this thread, I particularly have problems with:
* Easy, reliable switching between connected devices.
* Reliably connecting when a device is turned on.
* Audio delays on the order of 200ms.
I stick with wireless almost exclusively, because I hate the wire, but I switch to wired for gaming because a 200ms audio lag for a real-time game is unplayable. 200ms is obvious even just watching someone speak in a video.
- out_of_protocol 5y ago* BT sucks * BT audio codecs sucks. Why cant everyone agree on e.g .opus, gotta be enough for everyone * BT audio hardware/software implementation sucks * BT audio hardware/software implementation totally inconsistent across vendors * OS support is not really great, system mixer adds some mud to the mix * Headphone's DAC modules sucks, even $400+ ones - tried some Sony's, same headphones via BT and wire, and wired connection felt so much more alive, despite being connected to crappy builtin phone jack. * BT headphones much much more expensive while providing much much lower audio quality.
