Because of exactly those edge cases I'm reluctant to use wireless BT headphones. I still only buy wired headphones. Especially when on the laptop, the benefit of being wireless is barely there. Not that I wouldn't want wireless, but the drawback of that mode with BT edge cases, empty batteries etc. make me think accepting wires is just more comfortable and less of an annoyance.
- interstice 5y agoThat depends on your tolerance for charging for ten mins once every few days or so and reconnecting vs occasionally getting a wire tangled/under the wheel of the chair/forcibly yanked when you forget you are wearing them when you stand up. It’s pretty 50 50 for me but the physical minimalism and not having the wire/socket wear out swung it in the end.
- littlecranky67 5y agoActually if you put some effort in, wires become pretty manageable. I use a special technique to roll up my in-ears and a clip to hold them in-place while in my pocket. For my over-the-ear headphones I use cable-management spools to match the cable length to my usually distance on the desk. Although I admit, I own a FiiO BTR 5 that has BT and I can plug in my in-ear wired headphones - so I occasionally have a need for wireless listening. The battery of the FiiO is 13-15h however, and I also use it for other purposes (wired external headphone preamp). Additionally, in case the battery runs flat, I can always just insert the headphones directly into the device directly as a fallback.
