I'll stay wired for the foreseeable future. Headphones I have to charge just seem like an extra inconvenience to me.
When you use them for work, not being tied to your computer is really nice.
You should try some. I've got the Sony XM4s, the battery lasts for an eternity and I never want to faff about with wires again!
But the latency for music games is the issue, since that's typically when I'm reaching for headphones.
Good wireless headphones come with a cable, so you can have your cake and eat it too with zero latency and zero battery consumption when you need that.
It's pretty rare that I'll plug in that cable to be honest. Mind you, mine have lower latency than most brands.
Exactly. Wireless headphones all have an expiration date, they are all future e-waste. A good pair of weird headphones Will last a lifetime if taken care of
Sony XM series have wired mode. Although the noice cancel feature still needs battery
I use my XM4’s wired with my PC every day because I don’t like Bluetooth latency but love these headphones. The flexibility of wireless when I need it occasionally is great though! (Like today I’ll use them on a flight later)
