Bluetooth headphones make headphones complicated. Where previously it's literally a wire with speakers on the end, now your headphones now need to run software and they have a battery.
Previously a search for the right headphones was the intersection of few concerns:
* Price
* Sound quality
* Comfort
It was hard enough finding the right intersection of the 3 that fit me. Now I have to also balance the decision with:
* Battery life
* Ease of use (for HEADPHONES!)
* Rechargeability
* Connection quality
Headphones are such a simple idea. For some people the complexities of bluetooth headphones are worth the cost, but I don't want my cell phone to force me to accept that trade off.
