    Wireless means you plug it in occasionally, maybe once a week.

    If you don’t value the convenience of wireless headphones, that’s great for you. For a lot of people, the cable is a real pain in the ass. It gets tangled up when it’s off. It gets caught up on things when it’s on, etc.

      I definitely have to give it to wireless sets, they are really convenient. I’m clumsy and it’s nice not having to be aware of the cable. (The sudden yank out of my ears… Aaaaaaargh.)

      But I’m also forgetful (I don’t always remember to charge it…) and I have a low tolerance for connection problems so I do prefer wired in some scenarios.

      I don’t get some people’s obsession with hating on wireless earbuds and headsets.

      i switched when phones dropped the jack but just recently went USB to 3.5mm. Sadly both are crap.

      Honestly I’m going to look into a media device again.

      Mm & also how about respecting the electronics and (maybe a little bit obsessive-compulsively) wrapping the entire cord up and zipping it into a case… every single time

      (Skill or rather personal policy issue, ya, that one might be on me)

      But don’t even have to put my head against the phone for a quick call when a single earbud is right in my pocket ready to be slipped out and stuck back in, blind ‘n’ fast
