Must be nice to either accept the objectively worse sound quality of wireless headphones, or be wealthy enough to afford a product that sounds almost as good as the wired version does for ten times the price and just not care about it getting stolen.
I care a moderate amount about audio quality, but my bigger gripes with Bluetooth generally involve the latency and inconvenience of switching devices (even with multipoint).
IDK about you, but in the environments where I'd use headphones with my phone are not environments where I'm capable of noticing the audio difference between bluetooth and wired.
Ten times is an extreme exaggeration unless you're really at the bottom end of earbuds. Decent quality bluetooth headphones aren't that much more expensive.
If I cared that much about audio quality, I wouldn't be listening to music on my phone anyway.
I'm not sure which product you're referring to that's ten times the price. You can get quality monitors for around $200. I don't know of any Bluetooth headphones that are going to match that quality at any price, but you can get close enough for the majority of purposes in the same price range. The biggest issue will be the Bluetooth audio codec and the wireless link itself (signal strength and latency), not the sound reproduction quality.
My phone plays flac. What's poor quality about that?
The DAC between the file and the 3.5mm jack.
If you going to complain about that, never listen to a CD or any other digital format. Let me guess, only vinyl is pure?
I'm not the one complaining about it, hence the "if" in my previous comment.
Or maybe just go buy a $5 adapter so you can use your wired headphones
Are you personally using a $5 adapter? They are junk.
