I don't mind wireless earbuds for walking around town, but my primary use for earbuds is running and cycling, and I've found wired earbuds more practical here. The wireless earbuds I've tried are heavier, bulkier and more prone to falling out (they're especially bad for running); they don't work with the devices I prefer (like my iPod shuffle); and they don't have enough battery life for longer activities (which can last six hours or more). Meanwhile, a cord is just not much of an inconvenience to me.
