nope, actually never used it. i've had and will continue having Bluetooth headphones
Once you get decent Bluetooth headphones itβs a game changer, especially since consoles are starting to support them
Are they? I thought the BT lag made them not fit for gaming. That's the reason why Sony's Pulse 3D headset for PS5 uses wifi. I haven't tested any of this, I'm just repeating what I read.
There are low latency codecs available
I havenβt had any issue with latency on phone, multiple laptops, or switch.
This is the stated reason why Microsoft uses their proprietary wireless standard for Xbox controllers (which have Bluetooth, but not for the Xbox console itself) and headsets - but I haven't had latency issues using bluetooth headphones on my PC.
Now, I know that in a lot of cases, Bluetooth doesn't have the bandwidth necessary to do high quality bidrectional audio - so it can't receive and send audio (microphone) without falling back to a very low quality profile, which results in cruddy audio. Not sure if this is an issue that has been fixed though. If not, I can't imagine anyone would want to game and participate in voice chat using that as it sounds horrible.

I connect my bose nc700 with an audio cable to my controler and it works fine. I thought PS5 doesnt support other BT headsets, but i guess i should check.
Same here. I have a charger at home and work. If I travel, I bring a charger. I'm a responsible adult who knows when to charge Bluetooth headphones. I personally don't have a need for a 3.5mm jack.
Buuuut, I'll fight for fucking ever to keep them on phones. I should not be the only demographic on phone construction.
I use both.
Bluetooth can be convenient but also can be the opposite. On long travel days I don't want to have to worry about battery life, and I always inevitably run into issues with cutting in and out, which I find extremely annoying
How long do you travel? I have In Ears and Over Ears with BT and both have battery time over 20hours. And i can also charge them in their cases.
