I do chuckle whenever I read about sound quality in wireless headsets and earbuds. So many millions are spent on the connection between phone and earbud, millions just to avoid the inconvenience of a wire. But go to any recording studio or radio station, anywhere that quality actually matters and you won't see anyone debating Bluetooth's bandwidth limitations. If you care about quality your equipment is wired.
Want real quality in wireless an earbud? Look for something called an In Ear Monitor (IEM). The abandon data links rely on oldschool radio frequencies. A decent rig will start at about 1000$.

- Nbox9 5y agoIf you go to any server farm, somewhere that network speed and stability actually matters, and you’ll see wired network connections. That doesn’t mean Wi-Fi, LTE, and 5G isn’t good enough for the 99% of devices. There’s a lot of devices (AirPod pro, WH-1000XM4, Quiet Comfort 45, below the $300 price point that offer * Bluetooth * Active Noise Cancellation * Good microphones for calls * Pretty good sound quality These devices offer fantastic convenience, sound pretty good, and are generally affordable. Some of them even have a headphone jack. They compare to a Wi-Fi device to me, the net connection will never be as good as a wired, but the convince factor is “good enough”
