I use wireless headphones most of every day. I used to buy IEMs with detachable cables so I could replace them when they inevitably broke. I don’t feel I was being careless at all. I don’t break anything else in my life. But my cables broke every 6 months or so.

I absolutely don’t miss wired headphones. The idea that wireless headphones aren’t superior is insane to me. I think the one thing is battery degradation, but honestly, buying a new pair every 5 years is well worth the convenience of no cables in my mind. Especially headphones that switch well between devices are a big QoL upgrade.

I do wish all wireless headphones had a little jack for wired playback though, for one reason: instrument playback. Latency is absolutely unacceptable there; and it’s a shame I can’t plug my AirPods in. But I’m not surprised or angry at their omission; but on over-ear phones, it’s inexcusable.
