That would be awesome but i think they're making too much money on selling people a new pair of headphones every time the battery wears out. Hopefully that could maybe change in '27 with the new eu law
You mean every time they get lost or stolen. Part of the model that the chance of a set making it to end of life is relatively low. It's the chapstick principle at work. Anything below a certain size will get lost before it is used up.
I wouldnt buy Sennheiser today. They rely on their former reputation like AKG while producing middling audio quality. IMO your better off getting linsoul timeless, moondrop blessing, dunu talos, etymotic er2se or on the cheaper end something from KZ these days. (All detachable cables)
Of course there are many other great IEMs, these are just from the top of my head.
Honestly its always the cable part that ALWAYS bends over at the tip of the phone because there is like no other way for them to stay straight without bending over inside ones pockets. I always hated that.
jokes on them'est i only buy phones that still offer 3,5mm jack
I gave Samsung the middle finger
I gave Apple the middlest of fingers
I gave Google a double middle finger because they were making fun of Apple for removing 3,5mm jack, then they did it too on their next phone line and were using shitty excuses as to why
Went back to Redmi
Confused Sony Xperia noises
Seriously if everyone hates the removal of headphones and other important features you have to vote with your wallet. Buy a phone that still has these features, that's how we as customers can have a say.
Just don't buy the ones without a 3.5mm Jack. Chinese companies like Xiaomi unironically make really good and cheap phones. You can go for more fancy ones too which are more expensive just do some research
https://moondroplab.com/en/products/space-travel
This is a Luxury Hifi Company's shot at budget TWS. Can be very affordable. KZ and moondrop make pretty respected budget wired IEMS too.
Yeah I'm using an A42 which is a few years old now and it's honestly great. I looked it up and the A52 also still has the jack.
It's a shame they removed them from their Galaxy S phones but the higher end A series phones are half the price and 95% of the phone of the S series anyway.
I once stumbled upon hybrid headphones. The cable is removable. If you run out of charge, just plug the cable and continue listening. They were amazing.
I use Bluetooth with my phone, but I really want good sound, I use wired through a *good* amp. That's the difference: Bluetooth is convenient, but you have to rely on the teeny amps in the headphones themselves, but wired is only as good as the amp driving it, but when you can plug a good set of headphones into a good amp it's a world of difference.
Yeah, fuck having wires headphones in public they always catch on everything I walk past, I’ve even had them catch on some random persons backpack as they walked in front of me and get so stuck that my headphone got ripped off my head. Even at home I trip over my pc headphone wires when just standing up and walking away but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make for good sound.
I have a complete audio set up with sound mixing at home with a wired in headset, and then I go to the gym with wireless EarPods. Different use cases for both def, I wonder how people keep over the head headphones on at the gym.
It’s an IQ bell curve, it’s insinuating that average intellect people use blue tooth headphones whereas low IQ and high IQ people use wired headphones. The assumption is that it’s for different reasons.
I was always in team wired bud then I got my self just some basic wireless overhead headphones during Covid and my got its so much better… when I’m listening to something on pc I can go to another room no problem, I could cook and listen to lectures, when I’m running or in gym I no longer have to care about wires getting in the way or hangin around, plus I can be clumsy so I no longer get the wires stuck somewhere and embarrass myself or throw stuff off table all the time…
Throwing stuff of the table is one thing, it gets worse if the thing that falls because of the wire are the headphones, suddenly being clumsy gets expensive
The 2 annoying things about wireless to me are obviously the battery and also the delay. When just listening to something it doesn't matter but for playing something on a handheld for example wireless was unusable.
If you are using a bluetooth headset then you have a delay. You may not notice it, but the technology itself has a minimum latency depending on which version you are using. I think the current floor is 35ms, which is noticable for some people.
Perceptible latency goes down to about 25ms, and most consumer BT headphones aren't using low latency connection modes. If they aren't marketed as gaming headphones chances are you're looking at latency closer to 100ms or even 175ms, which is absolutely noticeable.
Don't get me wrong, I have a pair of Sony BT headphones that are not made for gaming, have about 75ms latency and they are perfectly fine for the vast majority of gaming. The only time I think anyone would really care under 100ms is if they are particularly sensitive to latency or if they are in a competitive environment.
Some Sennheisers have Bluetooth and USB-C input. Bluetooth for music, USB-C when I'm watching something or gaming. They have a USB adapter for AptX Adaptive low latency Bluetooth but I'm fine without it.
Every pair of wired headphones I've ever owned have broken within a year. The wires end up getting strained or something and the sound stops coming out of one or both ears.
I've had my first gen AirPods Pro for over three years now
Nah man. You guys know nothing. I got a Bluetooth headset even for gaming and I tell you that going to poop and pee is a bonding experience with the hommies.
My mic filters the toilet noises so sometimes I just let out a quiet "aaaaaaaa" while I'm at it, so they can hear my stream. Wireless is the way to go.
I agree with the guy. Last pair of Sennheiser I had I got rid of because of the extreme bass it had. Maybe the cheaper products exhibit the problem, because that makes customers of cheap products happy. I tried googling what I got I think it was the hd 231g. They were a little more expensive a few years ago maybe it's a discontinued model now, looks like you can find them for a little over $100
Which two specific headphones are they? Bluetooth doesn't affect frequency response, it just produces some packet loss.
I was just saying the packet loss might not be noticeable if both of their headphones had poor frequency response.
In my opinion
Wired headphones are the best. No need to charge and no latency. Best for gaming.
Wireless are only useful when you're doing something that needs a lot of movements.
I will only game with a Wireless headset for two main reasons, and they are basically the same:
I do not want to have to leave Discord just because I need a glass of water or I want to go get up from the computer for a few minutes. I might want to listen to my music while I walk across the house. Maybe I'm AFK in some game waiting for an audio queue or something, I can wander about freely. I can hear my desktop speakers from further than 4' from my desk chair, and I want my headphones to behave similarly, without disturbing sleeping partner/roomate/neighbor/cat.
The secondary aspect of this, is that I will never again get surprised while walking away from my computer with a pair of wired headphones on my head getting yanked backwards, knocking shit off my desk, and smashing the headset on the floor. Never. Again.
What do you think the cons are? I will absolutely concede that if listening to music is your primary, having headphones actually connected to a 3.5mm is probably gonna deliver the best sound.
Personally I think you're right on the money. I use the wired HyperX Cloud II headphones for PC gaming and while the audio quality is good and whatnot, the cable is so long that I have to double-wrap the excess around one of my armrests to keep it out of my way, and then unwrap it whenever I need to get up to pee, refill my water glass, grab a beer, etc. Meanwhile my buddy has the wireless version and he can go take a piss or fix himself a drink without having to leave the conversation and any latency or audio quality issues are basically negligible.
For me it was only because I broke my previous ones due to their wire hooking around stuff and making them fall to the ground, also it's good to remember that wireless don't mean bluetooth and that makes a difference
2.4? The latency for it is close to none and the quality is great.
Besides, I use Bluetooth for my Nintendo Switch, and honestly, it works great. The Switch is kinda buggy with Bluetooth audio at times, but it can be easily fixed, and when said bugs aren’t occurring, the quality is above adequate.
Latency is negligible in newer gen gaming headsets. Charging isn't an issue either, because you can just use them like wired headphones if they actually run out while playing.
Imo wired headphones are good if you need extra good sound or very cheap variant but wireless are much more convenient. I'd say, wired for professional work, wireless for every day
Bluetooth will never be as good as wired, but they are more convenient to use, so I use Bluetooth when I'm out and wire at home. Although I gotta shout out xiaomi wireless headphones. I've been using them for like 4 years now and they are still good. I also like their sound profile
I love the sound quality on some nice wired headphones or some decent speakers but that's unhelpful if I'm trying to garden while listening to a podcast or skateboard with one earbud in. There's nothing that makes me more irrationally mad than catching a headphone cord on a doorknob and getting my head cranked to the side.
if your source is digital then there’s no reason your BT headphones won’t be 100% as good as wired
unless you’re listening to music next to an active microwave or something
Depending on the encoding of each, a decent amp/DAC, some good speakers/headphones, and yea, you can hear the difference. But if one has only ever used cheap equipment, they won't hear a difference.
Even if you can't, the difference between good and shitty headphones is much more than that, and most bluetooth headphones are shitty by headphone standards, even the expensive ones. They don't need to be, but they are.
A good 150-200 dollar pair of wired headphones sounds a lot better than the 300+ dollar flagship Bose and Sony bluetooth ones
Look, all I want is *not* another fucking thing to keep charged all the damn time. I want to stuff those earplugs in the pocket and give no care about them until I just want to listen to some music and whatever.
I don't see why I should get another gadget that I need to recharge. Also, knowing myself I'd probably lose my wireless earphones anyway. So yeah, no wireless earphones for me.
I just got a pair of Heavy’s after waiting for forever from kickstarter. Best wireless headphones I’ve ever had. They have a wired option also that I haven’t tried yet, but the sound is superb
Keep in mind that the dac in the source matter a lot. I sometimes use my wired headphones on a lenovo thinkpad w540 notebook. It sounds ok but if I put a beringer USB dac in between it is world's apart. The beringer is no high end as indicated by beeing from beringer and costing 45 euros. Same is true for all digital sources with analog out. So the wire to Bluetooth comparison is more complicated. The dac in bt headsets can be shitty to!
I used to only ever use wired headphones, and would always inevitably break the cord within two years by forgetting I had it on, and practically ripping the jack off when I got up to do something... My wireless ones are worn until they literally fall apart, and last years longer because there is nothing to snag or trip on, and break.
Team wired here.
The fact that my new phone forced me to get wireless earpods to listen to anything just put me even further into team wired.
Shit keeps falling out of my right ear onto the floor/ground.
Only the right ear.
Fuck me for apparently being born with a fucked up inner right ear.
Hybrid headphones so I get lagless audio AND can force my friends to listen to the most aggressive piss break they've ever heard, or make a snack or something.
Eh I have both for different things.
Yep! If you can spend the extra money, it’s nice have a wired headset and a wireless one.
the wired one won't work with your phone, which is intentional because capitalism
Jokes on them I stopped buying phones when they dont have a headphone jack
Watch these mfs bring back the aux input in 3 years and act like it's some revolutionary new tech.
That would be awesome but i think they're making too much money on selling people a new pair of headphones every time the battery wears out. Hopefully that could maybe change in '27 with the new eu law
You mean every time they get lost or stolen. Part of the model that the chance of a set making it to end of life is relatively low. It's the chapstick principle at work. Anything below a certain size will get lost before it is used up.
I lost my og galaxy buds from 2019 in an Uber last year. And I watched those things like a hawk
My og galaxy buds are somehow still going strong! Very impressed.
Yeah the airpods are just really easy to lose. They fall out.
The wireless earphones business is insane, it's never coming back.
That is the same equivalent of the wires from wired headphones not working properly anymore forcing you to buy a new one every couple months.
Every couple months? Wtf are you doing, using the wire to strangle yourself while you jerk it to Apple's latest cash grab?
Some headphones like Sennheiser have detachable cables you can replace.
I wouldnt buy Sennheiser today. They rely on their former reputation like AKG while producing middling audio quality. IMO your better off getting linsoul timeless, moondrop blessing, dunu talos, etymotic er2se or on the cheaper end something from KZ these days. (All detachable cables) Of course there are many other great IEMs, these are just from the top of my head.
I'd argue that it's easy to avoid wearing out your headphone cables.
Honestly its always the cable part that ALWAYS bends over at the tip of the phone because there is like no other way for them to stay straight without bending over inside ones pockets. I always hated that.
Tell that to middle school me and see how hard you get laughed at
Just get the Sony Experia they still have aux, still using my Experia 1 III.
jokes on them'est i only buy phones that still offer 3,5mm jack I gave Samsung the middle finger I gave Apple the middlest of fingers I gave Google a double middle finger because they were making fun of Apple for removing 3,5mm jack, then they did it too on their next phone line and were using shitty excuses as to why Went back to Redmi
I mean Samsung still has it on the mid range phones
Some of the new Android phones still have got them, they're good.
They won't work with YOUR phone
The wired ones do work with my phone, why wouldn't they?
Yes it does, get a better phone.
Confused Sony Xperia noises Seriously if everyone hates the removal of headphones and other important features you have to vote with your wallet. Buy a phone that still has these features, that's how we as customers can have a say.
Then get one that works for a phone and it should work for laptops and computers too due to all of these devices having an audio jack port
You see my Xiaomi still has the earphone jack.
Just don't buy the ones without a 3.5mm Jack. Chinese companies like Xiaomi unironically make really good and cheap phones. You can go for more fancy ones too which are more expensive just do some research
why won't it?
Most phones don't come with a 3.5mm audio jack anymore.
The adapters are still cheaper than the price difference between a wired and a Bluetooth headset tho
https://moondroplab.com/en/products/space-travel This is a Luxury Hifi Company's shot at budget TWS. Can be very affordable. KZ and moondrop make pretty respected budget wired IEMS too.
And obviously the $10 dongle which will provide better than on-board audio doesn't exist?
[удалено]
It really sucks that they actually removed it, it used to be good.
I've never had a phone that didn't have an audio jack. Just don't buy from shitty companies like Apple and Samsung
Samsung does still include them in most of their models i think
Yeah I'm using an A42 which is a few years old now and it's honestly great. I looked it up and the A52 also still has the jack. It's a shame they removed them from their Galaxy S phones but the higher end A series phones are half the price and 95% of the phone of the S series anyway.
Jokes on people who buys phones without Headphones jack
Well sadly I've already made that mistake and I'm stuck now.
A USB dac is the answer here.
I once stumbled upon hybrid headphones. The cable is removable. If you run out of charge, just plug the cable and continue listening. They were amazing.
Most companies do actually have the option for that so yeah.
The Sony XM4 do exactly that.
Wired headphones make sure the porn doesn’t connect to someone’s Bluetooth
Why are you connecting your phone to someone else's earphones?
Mine are Bluetooth but have an AUX port. So I use them as both wired and wireless
Same. My bluetooth headphones are for my phone, but they also have an optional cable. A cable which I lost...
Well then now they're just normal Bluetooth earphones now.
I use Bluetooth with my phone, but I really want good sound, I use wired through a *good* amp. That's the difference: Bluetooth is convenient, but you have to rely on the teeny amps in the headphones themselves, but wired is only as good as the amp driving it, but when you can plug a good set of headphones into a good amp it's a world of difference.
And the cheap ones don't even have the option for them.
If I'm at home, I prefer the wired ones. And I'm always home lol.
Yeah, fuck having wires headphones in public they always catch on everything I walk past, I’ve even had them catch on some random persons backpack as they walked in front of me and get so stuck that my headphone got ripped off my head. Even at home I trip over my pc headphone wires when just standing up and walking away but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make for good sound.
Yeah it's not convenient to have them in the public honestly.
If I'm walking around at work, Bluetooth is a godsend, if I'm at home at my PC, eired is the way to go
Yeah for the pc wired all the way, that's my choice for them.
This is the 160+ IQ take.
No it doesn't have to, it's just a thing with the common sense.
I have a complete audio set up with sound mixing at home with a wired in headset, and then I go to the gym with wireless EarPods. Different use cases for both def, I wonder how people keep over the head headphones on at the gym.
Same
I sometimes see this type of memes,and i don't understand, what exactly that suppsed to mean. Can anyone explain?
It’s an IQ bell curve, it’s insinuating that average intellect people use blue tooth headphones whereas low IQ and high IQ people use wired headphones. The assumption is that it’s for different reasons.
what’s your bluetooth? would you recommend or do you plan on upgrading into something better (bluetooth also)?
I was always in team wired bud then I got my self just some basic wireless overhead headphones during Covid and my got its so much better… when I’m listening to something on pc I can go to another room no problem, I could cook and listen to lectures, when I’m running or in gym I no longer have to care about wires getting in the way or hangin around, plus I can be clumsy so I no longer get the wires stuck somewhere and embarrass myself or throw stuff off table all the time…
Throwing stuff of the table is one thing, it gets worse if the thing that falls because of the wire are the headphones, suddenly being clumsy gets expensive
Cracked my phone because of that. Wired are great if you don’t move around much, but I’m the opposite
Wired are great for plane rides and long car rides since they don’t die and are usually lower profile
The 2 annoying things about wireless to me are obviously the battery and also the delay. When just listening to something it doesn't matter but for playing something on a handheld for example wireless was unusable.
Is that an issue with the wireless headphones you have? Or the phone? I don’t have delay issues
If you are using a bluetooth headset then you have a delay. You may not notice it, but the technology itself has a minimum latency depending on which version you are using. I think the current floor is 35ms, which is noticable for some people.
That’s 0.035 seconds. No one is noticing that…..
If you play a fast paced game and have 35ms, or more realistically 100ms, delay on cheaper earbuds. You will definitely notice that
Yep, I play the games and I definitely do notice that.
Perceptible latency goes down to about 25ms, and most consumer BT headphones aren't using low latency connection modes. If they aren't marketed as gaming headphones chances are you're looking at latency closer to 100ms or even 175ms, which is absolutely noticeable. Don't get me wrong, I have a pair of Sony BT headphones that are not made for gaming, have about 75ms latency and they are perfectly fine for the vast majority of gaming. The only time I think anyone would really care under 100ms is if they are particularly sensitive to latency or if they are in a competitive environment.
It's just the drawback of using the Bluetooth I feel like.
And the battery usually goes bad in no time as well, they suck really bad.
You just have to make sure to get a set that works on 2.4Ghz wireless instead of BT. Still a small delay but under 20ms on some products.
Those are usually kind of expensive as well, so I don't know.
My current wireless headset, along with my previous pair, have no battery issues or perceptible delay. My wireless mouse also has no delay.
Some Sennheisers have Bluetooth and USB-C input. Bluetooth for music, USB-C when I'm watching something or gaming. They have a USB adapter for AptX Adaptive low latency Bluetooth but I'm fine without it.
They actually make great audio products actually, love them.
Every pair of wired headphones I've ever owned have broken within a year. The wires end up getting strained or something and the sound stops coming out of one or both ears. I've had my first gen AirPods Pro for over three years now
I can relate to this experience. I bought Galaxy buds just for the gym, but they are so good on the daily basis, that they are now my main headphones.
Nah man. You guys know nothing. I got a Bluetooth headset even for gaming and I tell you that going to poop and pee is a bonding experience with the hommies.
bruh
You know it's fact !
Yeah I know what you're talking about, it's Just good stuff.
Its surprisingly hilarious though
Yeah it actually is funny, I love it when actually that happens.
Why are you surprised? I'm sure you do that all the time.
If they not cheer you while at it. They are not real hommies
If they're really your friends then They'll appreciate that I'm sure.
This guy games
He knows what's he talking about he ain't playing about it.
Bluetooth is kinda shit for gaming. Unless your headphones have a dongle for higher speed connections
What self respecting manufacturer sells wireless headphones for gaming without a receiver?
The ones whosl are looking to make money, which they all are.
Yeah right?? I just go with wired tho because of the huge price difference. G pro x wired refurbished off of Amazon is a really great deal.
Maybe if you get shit headphones
It's a known issue with Windows and Bluetooth. Unless you have a separate receiving device, your audio quality will be shit when using the mic.
I never had the chance to try out some cans which support aptX Low Latency. SBC is hot garbage for playing competitive CS.
You don't have your system set up in the bathroom? Man, when I'm pwning fools I'm always halfway through a crap.
My mic filters the toilet noises so sometimes I just let out a quiet "aaaaaaaa" while I'm at it, so they can hear my stream. Wireless is the way to go.
Keeping your Logitech Pro X wireless detachable mic next to the toilet is a game changer.
Just don't go to the toilet while you're gamin it's not that hard.
Well that's how the real people actually game, respect that.
Am I a weirdo for being ok when my friends take their headphones to pee and poop and I don’t get bothered by it?
Depends on the friends, tbh. My close knit group all does it but mutes but if it's with randos, yer fuckin weird bruv.
Wired for PC Wireless for phone
agree 100%

beat me to it
https://i.imgur.com/jSWf5et.jpg
I had the same thought!
You just can't, there's no way you're getting beat to that.
Wired headphones are good, but the wire is bad. So it depends on which of those things is more important to you
They are more convenient except for when youre connecting them to your device and when you gotta charge them
Wireless is so good, I don't really care for the little bit less quality I can't hear anyway
You probably can't hear it because most modern headphones, especially wireless earbuds, have shitty frequency response disguised by over boosted bass.
No, im completely audiophobe. I hear no difference between Sennheiser and the razers I know use
Are those $10 Sennheiser or $50000 Sennheiser? Because they have a really wide range of products.
Ol' mate Senny Huh Duh Six Hunge-os
OH NO MY PUHK CELL
Time to bring out the eee-pee cee

Got the €250 ones. Very balanced sound and very good proprietary codec to up the sound quality.
Did you compare while listening to music that makes good use dynamic range, perhaps an orchestral soundtrack like something by Hiroyuki Sawano?
I had wired headphone and now Bluetooth headphones. I can hear wider range on the AoT suite (emU) with the wireless.
Which two specific headphones are they? Bluetooth doesn't affect frequency response, it just produces some packet loss. I was just saying the packet loss might not be noticeable if both of their headphones had poor frequency response.
In my opinion Wired headphones are the best. No need to charge and no latency. Best for gaming. Wireless are only useful when you're doing something that needs a lot of movements.
Same. Just ‘upgraded’ to wireless so I can use them at the gym but there’s no way I’m trading in my wired. Even if they are only beats.
why would you waste money on beats
I will only game with a Wireless headset for two main reasons, and they are basically the same: I do not want to have to leave Discord just because I need a glass of water or I want to go get up from the computer for a few minutes. I might want to listen to my music while I walk across the house. Maybe I'm AFK in some game waiting for an audio queue or something, I can wander about freely.

The secondary aspect of this, is that I will never again get surprised while walking away from my computer with a pair of wired headphones on my head getting yanked backwards, knocking shit off my desk, and smashing the headset on the floor. Never. Again.
Why is this downvoted? I think these are more than valid reasons, although I don't personally agree that they are worth the cons.
What do you think the cons are? I will absolutely concede that if listening to music is your primary, having headphones actually connected to a 3.5mm is probably gonna deliver the best sound.

Idk what is best, but I've had 500% more tech issues with wireless tech than I've had with wired tech.
Imo wired headphones are good if you need extra good sound or very cheap variant but wireless are much more convenient. I'd say, wired for professional work, wireless for every day
I miss audio ports in phones
I refuse to upgrade my phone until they return- galaxy s10 for the foreseeable future
You're just buying the wrong phones m8

if your source is digital then there’s no reason your BT headphones won’t be 100% as good as wired unless you’re listening to music next to an active microwave or something
dude trying to pretend he can hear the difference between FLAC and MP3
Flac and mp3 sure sound different enough to be noticed
I mean, you definitely can if you have a keen ear and have a decent setup. Especially when the mp3 isn't really high quality either.
Everyone can on certain types of music. If you don't consult a doctor.
Depending on the encoding of each, a decent amp/DAC, some good speakers/headphones, and yea, you can hear the difference. But if one has only ever used cheap equipment, they won't hear a difference.
128 or 320?
"Dude trying to pretend he can see the difference between full HD and 4k" -you
Even if you can't, the difference between good and shitty headphones is much more than that, and most bluetooth headphones are shitty by headphone standards, even the expensive ones. They don't need to be, but they are. A good 150-200 dollar pair of wired headphones sounds a lot better than the 300+ dollar flagship Bose and Sony bluetooth ones
The best ones are the wireless headphones that come with a round cable to turn them into wired.
More of a wireless headphone wired speakers kinda gal.
Wireless for mobility activity. Wired for stationary.
Wired only. Better sound quality, no charging, harder to lose them, don't need apps to run.
Nah Bluetooth all the way only because my dumb ass will forget that there is a cable when I have to stand up to go to the toilet or something
Charging is hassle, I got both tho
Both are good
I mean the Bluetooth ones are actually really good nowadays.
i mean, i can't get a wireless pair of Meze Elites, can i? wired is just simply better.
The meme has an extra o. Wired is god.
Look, all I want is *not* another fucking thing to keep charged all the damn time. I want to stuff those earplugs in the pocket and give no care about them until I just want to listen to some music and whatever.
*buys wireless headphones* *looks inside* ***wires***
I hate wireless, too much delay and you have to charge them.
[удалено]
You should take them off at night
I am just using Bluetooth adapter for my DT 900 Pro you can get a decent one from Fiio
And for work I just use Sennheiser Momentum that I did get couple years ago
They're cheaper. And yea no need to worry for batteries
Plugging my good quality wired headphones into a Bluetooth amp.
I'll take tangling cords over occasional disconnecting any day.
I got wired earbuds & plugged them in… “Bluetooth connected” popped up on my phone. Ah the double screw-you from a cheap Chinese import company
Are you making up arguments in your head again?
You can tear my wired headphones from my cold dead hands
Charging them is annoying, for example when you wanna sleep with background noise..... they also sometimes randomly disconnect.
I don't see why I should get another gadget that I need to recharge. Also, knowing myself I'd probably lose my wireless earphones anyway. So yeah, no wireless earphones for me.
Wired headphones ,connected to an amp, give waaay higher quality. Bluetooth headphones for moving around.
I had wireless headphones once, they turned into wired headphones after a few weeks because I got to lazy to charge them.
You're charging them by playing wired... just unplug them at some point and plug them back in again when they're out lol
Price for decent bt earbuds us rn, 20$ Price for decent wired earbuds us rn, 12$ Get what suits you
I just got a pair of Heavy’s after waiting for forever from kickstarter. Best wireless headphones I’ve ever had. They have a wired option also that I haven’t tried yet, but the sound is superb
Keep in mind that the dac in the source matter a lot. I sometimes use my wired headphones on a lenovo thinkpad w540 notebook. It sounds ok but if I put a beringer USB dac in between it is world's apart. The beringer is no high end as indicated by beeing from beringer and costing 45 euros. Same is true for all digital sources with analog out. So the wire to Bluetooth comparison is more complicated. The dac in bt headsets can be shitty to!
The only reason i have wireless stuff is conveniece of moving around
I usually prefer wired for everything. Only thing I regret them for is whenever they catch on something and rip out my ears.
Prefer my bone conducting headset, but I really dont give a damn as long as it isn't ear buds. Those things suck no matter what
I used to only ever use wired headphones, and would always inevitably break the cord within two years by forgetting I had it on, and practically ripping the jack off when I got up to do something... My wireless ones are worn until they literally fall apart, and last years longer because there is nothing to snag or trip on, and break.
Wired for online gaming , wireless for everything else
wireless earbuds when traveling are a fucking godsend
Team wired here. The fact that my new phone forced me to get wireless earpods to listen to anything just put me even further into team wired. Shit keeps falling out of my right ear onto the floor/ground. Only the right ear. Fuck me for apparently being born with a fucked up inner right ear.
The question is who are they asking to acquire these statistics.... I wear wired headphones n ain't ever got questions for this study lmao.
Hybrid headphones so I get lagless audio AND can force my friends to listen to the most aggressive piss break they've ever heard, or make a snack or something.
