My wired headphones dont have this issue, likely sound far better, require no batteries, and are user serviceable.
Guys, we peaked in 2012 (potentially earlier) as a race technologically, stop trying to create new grifts for billionaires.
You can hardly find wired headphones now. When you do they are junk. I want a sturdy headphone where they did not save every penny making the wire near microscopic, cheap joints, etc.
Paying more does not mean it is quality either.
Recording musicians use them for monitoring. Bluetooth has too much latency when you are trying to keep your groove in the pocket.
I'm finding lots of great 10-15 yo used recording gear/tech that was originally $200+, going for cheap, like less than $50, because it doesn't have Bluetooth, which you don't want with recording gear anyway.
