I have never had that issue with a jackplug. Stuttering connection and one more thing with batteries that you need to manage. Also, most of the wireless headphones that I’ve tried have much smaller cups than the wired variety. I haven’t found a pair of wireless in-ears that are as comfortable as my preferred IEMs. In general, they might be okay for movies but not for music with an overemphasis on bass that I hate. The few options that don’t sound bad are wildly overpriced.
Sounds like most countries in western Europe. Germany being the worst.
You’re not crazy. I feel that even when the tech is slightly better the trade offs make the overall deal worse.
More RAM but its soldered in on laptops. More storage on phones but no micro sd slot. No headphone jacks, the overall obsession with inferior wireless audio. Streaming services suck for anything that is not a live event and I think eventually more people will realize that. Especially as they keep hiking prices. Clearnet internet has been destroyed. The gaming industry is a joke nowadays. Charging full price to play betas.
I haven’t purchased any cheap wireless headphones, certainly not that cheap but the wireless headphones that cost $300 sound significantly worse than a pair of wired headphones that cost half that much, sometimes even less. Same for the earbuds that sound bad and aren’t as comfortable.
