    I love not having to worry about charging my headphones. I had wireless for years but I went back to wired.

      I don’t find this being an issue when I have to charge it maybe once a month. Not talking about IEMs of course.

        My issue was needing them when they didn’t have a charge or had low charge, and not being able to charge them while using them.

          I ended up getting one that could still be used when plugged in via usb (micro heh), just like wireless mice.

          But either way, the sound quality, no matter how hard it tries, is crap compared to a good analogue headset.
