Wireless ear buds.
I was pretty adamant that I was absolutely never going to get any, preferring wired and really looking for a phone that still had the jack. Then when new phone time came, I ended up having to choose between a micro sd card slot and the headphone jack. I tried for a bit with a USB-C to headphone adapter but ended up seeing some ear buds on sale and giving them a shot.
They last way longer than I expected, and the carrying case as the charger means I hardly need to worry about keeping another device charged. The freedom of not having the cord is really nice, especially when going for a bike ride or jog. I upgraded to a pair with a little over-the-ear hook and use them probably 10hrs a day every day they are great
I'm the opposite. I have to have music, and Bluetooth just sucks on Android. I've used Bose, air pods, Samsung beans, generic, etc, on multiple versions of Android, and they just suck so hard. lag all the time, can turn my head to the right without connection stuttering. I've tested pockets, hoodies, with and without my watch, naked, nothing works. Bluetooth just blows.
recently got a pair of jvc explosivs that I had a decade ago and couldn't be happier. and I used my Bose headset with the cable too.
Samsung S9 for anyone wondering. have gone through multiple Samsung phones, an LG, tablets, etc.
have wiped. removed belt buckle, changed pockets. it does work better in back right pocket, but that's my wallet pocket. I'm just so confused why it sucks to badly.
I haven't noticed Bluetooth being that bad on either pixel I've had, 3a and now 6.
I certainly get lag in my pixels but no disconnects.
Bluetooth has a general lag of several milliseconds, tens of milliseconds probably, for me. But it's close enough to not bug me when watching videos. And I never have cutouts, not unless I walk very far away. Just tonight at work I was using my pixel buds, left my phone on the desk, walked to the bathroom probably 40 or 50 feet away and through at least 3 walls, didn't miss a beat 🤷♂️
My old BT headphones back in the day couldn't go 20 feet across the room line of sight.
BT has definitely gotten way better in recent years.
yeah, no dcs, but man it stutters bad. can't turn my head or walk
