Every Bluetooth headphones I've tried have the same problem: they don't always work and they are fiddly. When they do work, I can even suffer the crappy sound quality (Apple refuses to implement aptX). But overall there is just way too much fiddling around (switch them on, switch them off, hold this button for that amount of time, etc) and too many cases when they suddenly stop working (dead battery, radio interference causing drops, etc).

I still remember the mindboggingly crappy Jabra sports Bluetooth headphones I bought, and the sinking feeling when I opened the box and found a hastily thrown in armband for the phone and an additional piece of paper saying that it is recommended to wear the phone strapped to your arm. Upper arm. Right arm, because that's the side where the receiver is. The effective range of these headphones was something like 30cm.

I don't want to fiddle with stuff in my life, I want to use it. I want to connect my headphones and have them work.
