Pairing still sucks compared to plugging wired headsets. Especially with a bluetooth device you're not familiar with. "Where the f* is the button" is something I find myself saying way too often.

Being able to get a pair of 5 bucks headphones that don't use batteries is just convenient. Being able to get really fancy noise cancelling headphones for half the price is convenient. Being able to use the same headphones across all my devices (my new desktop computer has bluetooth, my old one didn't. When I was looking at motherboards, a lot of them didn't) is convenient. Being able to not have to worry about battery life is VERY convenient. Not having to worry about my phone's battery life is also convenient (though newer bluetooth uses very little, its still non-zero).

Interference is still an issue. Where I live there's so many 2.4ghz devices around, they barely work (ironically in the middle of manhattan I have less issues, mind you)

Much as I love the TT-BA08 dongle, having double-click power be both "initiate pairing" and "initiate phone call" depending on (largely) invisible context is a bloody pain in the arse.
