Because I already own good quality headphones with a jack cable and buying a new pair that I can only connect to my phone feels needlessly wasteful.
I'm also a musician and I like being able to listen to stuff on my phone with IEMs when practicing to protect my hearing. No Bluetooth headphones provide adequate hearing protection AFAIK.
I don't know if this helps you at all & I don't know what gear you're using, but Shure has a bluetooth receiver for their line of in ear monitors that plugs directly into the buds. It's called 'true wireless'. I have an old discontinued RMCE-BT2 model that works great and fidelity is indistinguishable from wired, to my ears, at least as far as connecting it to a phone goes. The new model is expensive unfortunately, so I don't know that it really solves your problem, but it's convenient & I can recommend it if it's within your budget and compatible with your gear.
Ive used other bluetooth attachments for other iems like TRN and KZ with my iems
Use it wired on my laptop and wireless outside
