I genuinely thought the wired vs wireless earphone debate was over, and wireless won by a landslide.
All the phones I have ever owned have audio jacks, but I use them rarely, and prefer the convenience of putting my phone down to walk around and do tasks, than having it strapped to my side like I'm a tourist on a bad audio guide.
I can't be the only one who after holding out for so long, now relents that, yes, wireless headphones are convenient for a vast majority of use cases.
I've been wearing the same Sony plugs for 6 years now. Latency and quality is fine over short distances, and over long distances (something wired can't do...) the LC3 codec does a fantastic job keeping the signal and quality
I feel like you and I inhabit different universes
Oh no doubt, and this is definitely an audiophile's phone. I just hope the benefit of the slight gains in quality outweigh the (imo) massive hassle of having the phone tethered to body.
My buds are sony wf-1000x3, been using them for years. Charge them once a day, use them pretty much all the time, no issues.
