> bluetooth is CHEAP
I think you're overstating this. With a normal headphone jack, if I find myself heading out for a hike or vacation or whatever and discover that I left my earbuds at home, I can pick up a tolerable pair at any drugstore for $10. For the time being at least, I'd have to go to a specialty electronics shop (probably in that city an hour back) and pay $30 to get a comparable bluetooth set.

Oh certainly. I was referring to initial purchases of reasonable quality headphones vs bluetooth headphones. It's not as big of a gap as it used to be.
