Alternatively, if your current phone doesn’t have a headphone jack, do you wish it did?

    I do totally agree with your wireless mentality, i do the same with my mouse, keyboard, xbox controller, etc.

    However, when it comes to headphone audio, i will always prefer wired, mainly for the better audio quality.

    But… i have tried various bluetooth headphones in the past, and while the audio quality is decent enough, but everything else falls apart:

    • Battery won’t even last 3 hours, and the battery meter on the phone is always wrong, (and i really don’t want to keep an eye on the battery of THE device that makes everyday life bearable).

    • The buds themselves are either uncomfortable or fall too easily.

    • I went farther than 3 meters? Too bad, connection lost!

      This is entirely dependant on what kind of headphones you buy though, if you buy nice ones they work just as well as wired

      My over-ear headphones last a day of constant use and have a hot swappable backup battery (they also have a receiver for my PC) and can go anywhere in my flat with them without it cutting out

      Earbuds I’ve got last most of a day and have a charging case that lasts weeks, similar range to the over ear ones

      Both of which are very good sound quality (though the over ear ones are better when using 2.4ghz rather than Bluetooth), the same or better better than wired ones I’ve had before of similar price

      If you’re looking for good wireless buds try jabra elite 65t, those are the ones I’ve been using though they’re a few generations behind at this point

      I’ve also heard the Samsung buds are quite good
