We used to have earbuds that don't need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn't get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k

The ease of pairing Bluetooth headphones lately is pretty nice as well as not having to run a wire up my shirt to avoid snagging.

I do look back kind of fondly on physically plugging in my headphones and just having it work.

    for some reason Bluetooth headphones NEVER connect properly for me. I have to delete them and re-add them. Ended up buying $25 IEMs that are wired and they sounded better than my $200 name brand wireless ones lol

    In my experience. Once you pass $100 Bluetooth rarbuds it drifts onto diminishing returns territory. Once the Active Noise Canceling feature started to get passed down to sub $100 earbuds then the more premium ones started to look less and less appealing unless you hop on a good sale.

    The IEM selection has been getting pretty good lately as well.

    What phone do you have? My friend has a Sony Experia phone and despite Sony making boat loads of bluetooth headsets, the bluetooth in his phone is almost unusable.

    On my iPhone and my Pixel things just work™

    Pixel 8, don't know why things don't work. I think it might be the headphones (pixel buds pro) Also might be that i have a lot of 'noise' around me (forgot the correct term) as I use them at school (~1,500 kids) but I don't know how to test the 'noise'.
