>They all sound better, on average, than any Bluetooth

No, they don't.

They may sound better than cheap Bluetooth headsets.

But I guarantee they don't sound better than my Nuraphones, or the Sennheiser Momentum 2 Wireless/HD-1s I was using beforehand.

Note that I own both Shure 535s and 846s, as well. The Nuraphone sounds better than either of them.

I use my Nuraphones for business con-calls every day. They sound great on my end and I've been told they sound great on the other end(s) of those calls, as well. Same with the Sennheisers.

I'm not convinced (they may in ideal condition, but it does not appear that the Sennheisers or Nuraphones have a boom - they're just headphones with a microphone, so I'd be skeptical of their performance in a noisy environment or if you're typing on a keyboard or any other distracting audio input; as I said I love my wireless Sennheisers and Plantronics for listening, but there are times I still want 3.5mm option) , but for the sake of the argument, my question remains - how would _your_ experience be worse, if your phone also had a 3.5mm jack?

(and lest we go down the argument of "what, do you still need a parallel port" etc - this is a standard that existed, depending on how you count, anywhere between 50 years and a century, which still performs the function cheaply, reliably and conveniently; whereas that lightning to 3.5mm to charging dongle will, if all goes well, be in the dustbins of history in 5-10 years or less - and we'll see how well the Bluetooth headsets work with audio devices 10 years from now)

I guarantee bluetooth headsets suck, all of them.
