After the frustration recently of having that one earbud having to be at an angle to work, I just ripped them apart out of frustration. I'm never going back to corded.

I have a few headphones with this type of wire. Idk why they have them . Umm they don't fit in my phone's headphone jack unfortunately . Id have to buy this small amp thing that cost around a grand to connect them to my phone.

Not very portable for sure and i'm pretty sure they'll break outside from high humidity or maybe wind carrying dust (they do have dust cover but idk if they can handle lot of wind) . The cable is also like 10 ft long so it can easily snag on a bunch of things outside.

Wireless headphones are way more portable yeah. Don't have to worry about the wind. Don't have to worry about cable tangling. Can work on phones without jacks. So many good things about them compared to wired headphones

Yes.
Maybe because it's a cheap Bluetooth headset, but the 0.1 second delay is annoying for gaming and movies.

Yes. When I've used bluetooth earbuds in the past I'd get skipping and distortion. Not all the time but frequently enough to be irritating. That doesn't happen with wired.

The only time I'd use wired is if I need two-way audio. I've never had issues (other than running out of battery if I forget to charge them) with Bluetooth ones, not even with cheap ones, when they're being used solely to listen. On the other hand, the quality becomes downright awful in both directions if listening and recording at the same time.

I recall hearing that a newer Bluetooth version was meant to be fixing this issue but I don't think this has happened yet?

How are bluetooth earbuds still so trash

If the delay wasn't bad enough, mine randomly get desynched. Like the left ear will start lagging behind the right ear. It's awful and the only way to fix it is to completely disconnect the earbuds and reconnect them.

I have some still but I've been using these wireless headphones I got from Best Buy. They are really comfortable and have a very long battery life. Certainly the best wireless headphones I've ever owned. Those wired headphones are generally for if I bust out the portable cd player or I have a tiny radio too.

I have wired and bluetooth headphones, and I always use the wired. Bluetooth drop out and delay way too easily, not to mention charging and the tendency to fall out of my ears for no reason.

I don't use headphones often (not counting gaming with a headset). But when I do, I'm at work and I use my wireless ear buds. So much more convenient. It's usually not a problem on my phone, but I do hate the delay they have like if I wanted to use them on the bedroom TV while my partner slept.

My phone doesn't have an earphone jack, so I just straight up haven't been listening to music on my phone at all since I got it earlier this year.

Prior to that, 100% earphones. I've never even used Bluetooth or wireless headphones once.

I'm the opposite. I can find the wire annoying, but the charging never bothers me since these Galaxy Buds2 Pro have a decent battery life. And I have a wireless charging pad, so when not in use, I just rest them on the pad. They're always charged for me. I don't even see the pad as a thing to do, but more of a "this is my buds' resting place."

I use a dedicated mp3 player rather than my phone when I'm jogging. It's small and lightweight and I don't have to worry about breaking it like I would my phone.

There's a newer model out now (D3) that's even better.

Can't recommend them highly enough if you want a dedicated music player. The battery life is ridiculously good too (40+ hours).

they're a tad pricier than I expected but since they do work as amps and have an actual quality DAC too it's still pretty reasonable.
