You’ve moved the goal posts. First, it was “Bluetooth sucks generally” and now it’s “Bluetooth might not always be an option for various corner-case reasons.”

You’ve moved the goal posts. First, it was “Bluetooth sucks generally” and now it’s “Bluetooth might not always be an option for various corner-case reasons.” Interference I suppose exists, but I live in an urban area with close neighbors and it’s never come up. Nor has it come up on planes, or in other public areas I’ve been in with many Bluetooth users, so I guess I’ll have to take your word for it. I dunno anything about “awful Bluetooth mic quality.” I prefer to do calls at my desk with a wired headset, but I’m not always there, and folks generally seem to think my AirPods sound fine. I know for a fact that many of my customer parties are using AirPods, and they sound fine to me, too —- better than any number of crappy wired headsets I also see in use on calls, for sure. I recently bought an audio setup for my motorcycle helmet, which is of course Bluetooth; my wife reports that my voice is clear and clean from there at any speed below about 35MPH, at which point wind noise becomes an apparently insurmountable problem. Bluetooth for audio is great. It sounds awesome with decent gear — far better than we got 15 years ago with wired buds, and (with good headphones) easily as good as the fancy needs-an-amp headphones I have around. Declaring that Bluetooth headphones are, as a class, unreliable and of low quality (as you did above) suggests you to have an axe to grind about Bluetooth, but it’s an axe without any substance. This is entirely separate from the set of corner cases where Bluetooth isn’t viable, such as in an old car with no such connectivity. But that’s not a problem with Bluetooth itself, and doesn’t justify claiming Bluetooth is universally crappy.
