> Call me old fashioned, but I very much do still use wired headphones.
However, I see that kids these days (my daughter turned teenage this year) are more into wired headphones. We had all sorts of wireless headsets (gaming or otherwise), wireless earbuds, etc. But she ended up using the wired ones more -- don't want to worry about charging, easier to use, just works, etc. are some of her reasons.
I had a Bluetooth headset and it was uncomfortable, so I understand that. Also, Bluetooth <5.0 has a few noticeable issues.
On the other hand I cannot complain about my earbuds. If I want to use my earbuds, I turn on Bluetooth, take out my earbuds and put them in my ears. (If I turn on Bluetooth after, I have to manually connect them, but I don't think that's a big deal).
VLC on Android is very helpful in setting up profiles for Bluetooth audio so you can set a permanent delay.
They've never fallen out of my ears. I just put them back in the case when I'm finished with them. I charge the case about once a week.
I don't have a dangling cable get caught on things and hurt my ears.
I don't have one ear stop working because the cable has got damaged.
Wireless headsets do have their function, but if you want quality sound your best bet is wired.
I do hope that we'll get the headphone jack back, because it really doesn't take up that much space in the phone (or even laptop) and it's extremely reliable!
I don't think it has to be one or another, I'm completely happy with my Sony headphones, the Bluetooth never failed to pair, they connect about the same time it would take me to plug them.
If they run out of battery, I can plug them, yes recharging takes time but it can be done when they are not in use.
