The pods in the kids’ ears did it for me, lmao. Hoooly.
Here’s the thing: either you deal with wires, or you deal with batteries.
I don’t like wires, but by god i can’t stand batteries. You gotta charge them, they can run out, they degrade over time, they make the device more expensive, they’re more complicated, also wireless transmittion (wifi/bluetooth) is less reliable compared to the simplicity and immediacy of you plug something in and it’s almost impossible for it not to work. All of my shit is wired.
Though i admit wires vs batteries is circumstancial. I don’t get wireless mice or keyboards, but i do get wireless headsets, you can go anywhere around the house, and when you’re outside it doesn’t snag on anything.

Amigo, what about the unbearable suffering of “the wires only work in this specific position”
It feels like such a solution in search of a problem, why would I need wireless earbuds for possibly the single device I own that, if I’m using it, will never be more than wire-length away from my ears, it’s literally either in my hand or in my pocket
you cant even get that far away from it before the bluetooth loses connection
I love a wireless mouse, since I realised it lasts much longer than a cheap wired mouse in my hands: because the cable eventually frays at the mouse end. (I do a lot of travelling.)
A cheap-ish wireless mouse with a single AA battery is easier to use, less hassle, and cheaper in the long run.
I haven’t yet found a cheap wireless keyboard I like (except the tiny one I got for my Pi years ago, which is great for its use but not for normal everyday typing), and I don’t have enough use case to try an expensive one over just using my laptop keyboard.
Wireless headsets… I’d like to like one, but the battery issue, plus the price, plus the lag… I still use wired earphones for now.
Wireless keyboards can be nice for switching between devices more easily. It’s a pretty niche use for me though.
I used to think airpods were lame and dumb but now I love them.
Last month I bought a pair of padded headphones, analogue headphone jack with 2 sizes so it works for my interface too, with detachable cable. No bluetooth, no wifi, no special driver package, no LEDs: just headphones for only $18 while on sale.
Thank you, airpods. You’ve somehow made regular quality goods much more affordable by simply being the bigger gimmick.
The real folks you gotta be scared of are those with no headphones just out there raw dogging reality
I don’t support physical violence in most cases but people who use speakerphone or listen to music out loud in public spaces should be flogged.
Zoomer moment
Imagine syncing some pussy ass headphones up to your boombox to avoid using the speakers
