yeah sure not having a wire is nice, but two generations of earbuds from my phones own manufacturer and both pairs i get regularly dogshit audio quality, and half the time one of the buds doesn't even work or produces barely any audio. There is no way to remedy this even after resetting the buds and the bluetooth connection. and you have to shell out 3x as much money for these things. also it's yet another device whose charge you have to keep track of

you really would think bluetooth would be good by now and not routinely a pain in the ass but no

I swear it actually gets worse over time as devices try to cram more complexity into the protocol it craps out for me constantly regardless of device. I could write a thesis on how much shit Bluetooth has caused me over the years and anyone who says to me "it just works" instantly becomes my sworn enemy

My theory is that its at least partly the incredibly polluted nature of the 2.4Ghz band but bluetooth as a protocol has also always been fuckign atrocious
