Don’t get me wrong. Apple removing audio jack was the biggest facepalm in smartphone history. And you can thank it for not being able to make an upgrade without sacrificing audio jack (and SD card too :/). But USB-C is getting standardized everywhere now (laptops, smartphones, etc.). What makes USB-C earphones not worth the switch?

      Bluetooth complication over a wired headset:

      1. Battery charge levels
      2. Radio interference
      3. Bluetooth time sharing with other devices
      4. Bluetooth devices getting stolen by another device while in use (ever had two phones paired to one headset?)
      5. Bluetooth microphone audio quality levels are not great

      1. A delay between the time you turn it on and the time it connects. Sometimes they will not connect and you need to go to settings.
      2. When using headset with more than 1 device, it will connect to the wrong one. And the number of slots is limited.
      3. Anecdotal,but in a big airport if i kept my phone lower than chest-height, audio was choppy because of interference.
