wireless headphones:

turn them on
pair them with your computer
a2dp doesn't work, so turn them off them off and on again
a2dp still doesn't work, so unpair and repair them
after 3 tries, they start working again
watch a video, all the audio is like 500ms delayed
wait until they run out of battery
throw them in the trash

wired headphones:

you plug them in
listen to music/watch a video, audio has no perceivable delay

wow i can see why everyone is using wireless headphones now

@artemist Bluetooth is genuinely the worst protocol. USB PD is less cursed and I am aware of how serious an accusation I am making here.

@gsuberland i've been thinking of making keyboards that use 5g nr or wifi for a while, i'm pretty sure they'd be lower latency and more reliable

5g and wifi aren't ideal for latency either. UWB can be.

Look up the now defunct wireless USB standard.
