AirPods don't “just work”

I hope it's an open protocol that operates on WiFi spectrum. Every implementation of Bluetooth is horrible, and you start to wonder if the Bluetooth spec itself is the issue..

Fwiw, Bluetooth does operate on the same spectrum as WiFi. But I agree about the Bluetooth spec.

I hope you mean the 5 or 6GHz range. Bluetooth already runs at 2.4GHz, but that frequency band is cluttered as all heck.

An open protocol would be excellent though.

Yeah sure, I really don't know much about wireless spectrum. It just needs to be something that existing hardware supports.
