    I used to dislike wireless earbuds until I tried them. They really are much more convenient, especially while riding a bike.

      I switched to wireless during the covid pandemic. Otherwise it was really painful to put on and off the mask each time I entered public transport. And I agree, it’s super convenient in many other situations as well.

          I have both wireless and wired. The wireless ones sound fine although if I switch from one to the other the wired are a noticeable improvement. The real issue I have with them is that there’s a noticeable delay that makes watching every video like a dubbed movie. Secondary to that I have never been able to get ones that fit perfectly so I’m constantly having to poke them back in especially if I’m eating or something and my jaw is moving around and there’s just a lot of general bluetooth issues that are annoying. I have a much easier time with the wired ones just working.

          For the places I need portable headphones for,I really don’t care that much about sound quality. And it is by no means terrible.

          It can’t match proper headphones. But I listen to podcasts and books, so the audio quality is not that important.

          The sony wf series sound honestly amazing. Not very repairable though. That counts for every brand though.

      It’s not like it was a mutually exclusive option. I have an S9 and I swamp between wireless and wired audio all the time depending on the setting. These newer phones have only one option. Bluetooth does not work well everywhere. Frankly forcing more things into the same radio frequency just makes it worse.
