    I’ve found that bluetooth headphones are about just as cheap as wired ones and being free of the cable makes a big difference.

    Washing dishes? Don’t have to worry about your phone being to far away from you.

    Laying in bed? Don’t have to worry about headphones getting pulled out of your ears because you rolled over.

      For the same price wired headphones have much better sound quality than wireless ones. They are built with less expensive parts and software.

      The tiny batteries in small wireless earbuds makes them disposable, after a few years.

      I own have owned lots of different wired and wireless headphones. My two over ear wired headphones need a new ear cushion every couple of years or a new cable per decade, but they last and last. My wireless headphones have either become unusable because of dead batteries or one part of an overengineered device breaking.

      My two wired overhear headphones have cost less together than my one nice Bluetooth overhear headphones and have outlasted it by a decade.

      Yea it’s a good thing the batteries in them are made of fairy dust that just appears and disappears with no problems whatsoever.

        I only ever had that problem with AirPods, but the $15 knock-off has been great. I’ve had them for a while now and there is no battery problem yet.

        I usually manage to destroy my headphones well before the battery starts turning into a problem.

        Maybe I shouldn’t wear them for 10 hours a day.
