This toggle is annoying because what was once 1 press to turn on BT is now 2. It gets me every day.

I thought some of these things initially, but then I noticed I wasn't constantly accidentally getting the cord hooked on things and yanking them out of my ears all the time. That bit has been super nice. Plus I have a pair that sounds absolutely fantastic...no issues with sound quality. Maybe I'm just a klutz, but freeing yourself of wires is super nice.

Note that if you only use headphones in a stationary position, a wire isn't very obtrusive. But if I'm doing something like laundry, the dishes, cleaning up, getting some exercise, or even just being seated at my computer (where I would always forget I had wired headphones on and I would yank them off when I stood up), going wireless has been great.

HOWEVER, one of the biggest downsides to wireless headphones has been gaming. The latency makes them unusable for that purpose imo. We just aren't there yet in terms of that tech.
