    Bluetooth is amazing, don’t get me wrong. But it doesn’t always work and it’s hard to figure out why something won’t connect. Plugging something works every time.

      Plus most Bluetooth modes have horrendous latency, which is jarring when playing a mobile game.

        BT LE audio should help in that regard. It also has some cool features like directly sending audio to individual ear buds rather than having to have one bud relay the audio to the other and “auracast” which allows multiple devices to listen to a single source.

      not sure why you have that experience, the only issue i’ve had with bluetooth is not figuring out how to enable pairing mode on some device, which… that’s the device having a shit implementation, it’s like putting a headphone jack under what looks like a screw cover.

              Also why would i imply that BT is easier to fix, that would just be fucking stupid.

              Is that what you are?

              Whats implied and obvious is that bluetooth less often gets messed up. Since there isn’t a flimsy connector sticking out.

              Don’t get me wrong, I do prefer wired headphones at home and in the office, but I’m done with broken cables on the go.

              If i really feel the need, a usb-c to 3.5 sits in my overears’ headphone case.
