> But after having used Bluetooth headphones for a while, going back to wired headphones was pure hell.

For me going back to wired was amazing. I no longer had to charge my headphone to listen to my music. Want to output to the speaker? Just unplug them physically.

I'm sure the airpod support this much better than the Bluetooth headphone I had on Android, but my biggest pet peeve was shutting them down each time I put them in my pocket, or else any call would go to them.

As you said yourself ... the airpods are better bluetooth headphones than the ones you had.

Charging is mostly a nonissue due to the case having a battery. shutting down is as simple as putting them in the case.

There are downsides (Airpods are expensive and though they can last a few years in the end are a throwaway product), but not having a cable being in the way and pulling out the headphones is also something I'd consider a downside so there's that I guess.

Sure but we were talking about switching from bluetooth headphone to wired one, thus why I added that part even though we were on an Airpod thread.

Which you still need to charge, the issue persist. Their battery life wasn't the issue, they could works multiple days without being charged, which just add to the issue because then it means I could go multiple days without charging then and then forgetting to do it.

That's certainly a nice feature that would alleviate my biggest issue, that's for sure. I knew they would have fixed that or else they wouldn't be as popular, or at least, much more people would complains about that.

Sure but that's a minor downside for me versus the issues I mentioned about wireless headphone. The only times I accidentally pulled down my cable was when I was training on a treadmill, which is also what made me buy bluetooth headphone in the first place. I stopped using them before stopping training...
