All the technical mistakes aside, yet another illustration of why I refuse to use wireless peripherals. They're uniformly shoddy at best, dropping connections or having difficulty pairing often. The idea that headphones should need software strikes me as insane.


This is why Apple’s AirPods have been so popular. They really work quite well, compared to any other wireless headphones I’ve used. Easier pairing and better connections.


Also, surprisingly durable. Around April I accidentally left them out of their charger and outside in the pocket of a foldable chair when I went out of town for 1 month. It rained on them multiple times. When I found them I was sure they would be broken.. I charged them up and I still use them daily. No issues.
