> It would be so nice if you could just like, I don't know, bump two devices together and they use NFC to pair or something. That's a thing on higher end kit. Has been for years. Obviously only works if both devices support it though - you won't pair your macbook for example. Other than that, I find Bluetooth and wired set-ups both have their advantages and disadvantages: - Bluetooth gets difficult when there's interference, wired gets weird ground loops and interference. - Bluetooth can be tricky to connect, wired gear gets yanked out of my ear when it catches on my door handle, or an airplane seat armrest, or my dog. - I can walk around listening to something on my laptop with Bluetooth, but with wired I don't have to worry about battery life. Bluetooth is an essential part of my life and has been for probably 6-8 years now, so I've worked out most of the tricks and kinks of the gear that I use.
