Travel is another reason. I use my bluetooth noise cancelling Sony headphones but being able to just plug in with zero battery use feels like magic.

13 hour flight, airports, etc... fewer dongles, fewer things to charge, etc.

There is very little more frustrating to me than getting 9 hours into a 13 hour flight, and having the batteries in my noise canceller run flat. Airliners are _loud_...

(I have an inexpensive set of cabled noise cancelling earphones that run off a single AAA battery, which always gets packed in my carryon...)

That's a weird example since the model you mentioned still uses battery when you plug it in via cable. Otherwise noise canceling wouldn't work.
