    Bluetooth alternatives are far better these days

    Disputable.

    • they are cable-less, thus need to be charged separately
    • they are cable-less, thus it is easier to lose them
    • bluetooth implementation is a potential security vulnerability
    • transmission by radio will always be less energy efficient than transmission by wire

      i’m a musician, have a trained ear and even with mild tinnitus have yet to see any BT audio transmission that matches the fidelity of cables.

      I have two devices, one is my phone, and one only plays music. I only ever use my phone as my phone, and my music device as my music device in my car, and both run over Bluetooth.

      It is a crapshoot as to which role my car will assign to which device. Sometimes I have to put my phone in airplane mode so that the car won’t try to assign it the media player role in Bluetooth settings. I’m not impressed.
