Yeah. Bluetooth sucks. It has sucked for as long as it has existed, and I don’t see that changing any time soon, if ever. I’m sorry to say it, but welcome to the future of wireless audio.
Clear startup opportunity? Seriously. More of us would jump on board if it were not Bluetooth.
Soundquality no that clear as wires. Glitchy, and even brand new ones dimply don't last long enough. Also, the wires function as a parachute sometimes, saving me screen repairs.
The new macbook pro has phantom power, so it can drive my sennheisers.
The last product I worked on was a piano learning app where the user’s mobile device generated the sound of the piano, and we had to explain to users that unfortunately they couldn’t use their AirPods/other wireless headphones with the app due to this lag. IIRC it was around 200ms for AirPods, and all the way up to 500ms for other brands, though I may be misremembering.
I have never really gotten used to wireless buds, and still find myself reaching for wires half the time: - Wireless buds don’t connect 100% reliably; sometimes I get one and not the other, or neither. Sometimes they will randomly disconnect during use. - Sometimes the sound glitches out randomly, which is so irritating that I don’t care how good the sound supposedly is the rest of the time. - Gestures and voice are…
Been using 2nd gen AirPods since they came out. Never had any connection reliability issues at all. They switch between my phone and iPad all the time as well. No glitches at all here other than one time I was walking past a large diesel generator. As for gestures, I don’t use them. I usually use Siri, my watch or phone as a control surface. As for snug that depends on the person at the end of the day. I don’t have p…

You don't have to accept wires to not have buds. There are 4 options: 1. Wireless buds 2. Wireless non-buds (some sort of wrap-around design to keep them on) 3. Wired buds 4. Wired non-buds I go with (2) personally, but mainly because Apple stopped me using wires. My main problem with bluetooth is that the headphones aren't loud enough (yeah you have to watch the line between loud and damaging but headphones are my o…
Airpod battery dies within minutes after 2 years of use. Never again will I buy them. Soundquality no that clear as wires. Glitchy, and even brand new ones dimply don't last long enough.

What's wrong with anecdotes
Especially in response to another anecdote
I've never had a harddrive fail, but I still take backups and assume others saying they've had problems are telling the truth.
Not sure if it's just me but I got my Airpods last March and I've been using it fairly regularly for the work calls. I got an ear infection in August that was pretty severe and after consulting with an ENT specialist, I was told to not wear these for long use or constantly since it prevents the ears from naturally clearing out (which normally happens when one chews and has nothing blocking the ear canal). So now I us…

I had those too. AirPods are incredible and will change your mind about wireless headphones
I have the AirPod Pro and they reliably try to fall out multiple times in an hour.

I may be audiophile. But when I put a music on I want to get fully absorbed and hear every little detail while I don't worry about battery life. Sounds weird I know
