Everyone makes the argument of worrying about charging it, but the cable is still there… Like, when it’s low you plug it in and play as if it was wired. I play casually and plug mine in once every other week (HyperX).
For me it’s great because I hate the wire getting in the way but not everyone is bothered by that so to each their own.
I make the argument that its unnecessary to put a battery in a thing that will move within one square meter for the rest of its lifetime... I just don't see the positive of a wireless anything on a pc that is wired. A laptop might be a different story, but a tower PC is literally just standing in at place and you can lay the cable nice so it's not making problems.
I guess for me I also move my tower a lot, several times a year between states, so wireless technology really makes that less painful.
Hm in this case...
I just can remotely access mine when i have to go somewhere else for a while.
Cool
Yeah its pretty convinient not having to truck around a tower pc.
Cables take a lot of space. And this space can be used for better purposes.
I clip my cables to the back of my monitor. Like USB cables for instance. Makes it out of sight normally and easy to access when I need it.
I have a lot of stuff at the back of the monitor, no place for cables.
Even though I use a desktop I still don’t think I could ever swap back to wired headphones. I frequently get up for a variety of reasons and keeping my music playing or continuing to chat with my friends is great. I briefly had to use a wired headset again and I nearly pulled the cable out a few times from getting up.
I thought that too, but now I have a wireless mouse, keyboard, and ear buds and it's amazing. You never have to worry about the slight tension from a cord, or what the cord will bump into. Complete freedom. The battery on my Logitech keyboard lasts about 3 months before it needs to be recharged.
Some headphones don't let you use them while charging
You can use them wired and then charge overnight.
My Sony headphones can't be used while charging
