You are right. But for >99% of users Bluetooth is a perfectly sufficient connection format for headphones.

I work in IT and pairing bluetooth is sometimes so finnicky i give up for a few days. I can accept that I'm not that great at IT but I don't think 99% of people don't have these problems.

And it's not a thing you do one time, most of these gadgets need re-pairing every sone time for whatever reason.

Oh I'll agree that sometimes Bluetooth pairing can be finicky.

But the person I replied to was talking about how Bluetooth is not good enough for audiophile quality headphones. But most people don't care and can't even notice the difference.
