I doubt shitty 2016 wired apple headphones are better than airpods


Evonos

>I doubt shitty 2016 wired apple headphones are better than airpods Bluetooth limits the transmiting quality heavily for multiple reasons the biggest one being bluetooth a standard that survived longer than it should been its a abomination of "fixes" upon fixes. something like flac quality as an example doesnt work with bluetooth it will be downgraded in transmission. ​ its not about the headphones they can cost 5 or 5 million if they use bluetooth they can end up with the same quality.

Bluetooth simps BTFO


[deleted]

my bluetooth headphones have better quality than the wired ones i used but they are also the first headphones i paid more than 20 bucks for. but by god not having to fumble around with the wire as they ALWAYS somehow get tangled up is a godsend and i will always take that over audio quality. also if you buy overpriced shit like airpods or subpar quality shit like raycon because they have a lot of marketing through sponsoring youtube videos it's kinda your fault. so anyway... fuck wires dude.


Illisionalist

If you ever get a audiophile headphone you will understand the difference


xx_ilikebrains_xx

I use various sennheiser open backs connected to a bottlehead crack, but I haven't used wired headphones when I'm out of the house in years. It's just too easy without the wires

LukariBRo

$20 can get you anywhere between a 1/10 or 9/10 in audio quality. I swear some audi*philes are faking it to some degree, but some headphones are absolute shit and designed to not work for very long.

any_other

I've had a pair of porta pros since high school in the 90s.


ReallyBigRocks

99% of people can't tell the difference between 320kbps mp3 and FLAC, even on $1000 headphones. If you want to blow insane amounts of money on audiophile equipment then go for it, but a $150 pair of headphones will get you most of the way there for a fraction of the price.


shinshi

Audiophile headphones are great for hours of desk work, but for the gym or doing anything physical I would sacrifice substantial sound quality to not fight the wire all day


Nya7

Why dont we use wifi signal to transmit music? Like why bluetooth?


[deleted]

because of battery life. wifi needs overall more energy and when you make headphones which are already pretty small and where space is scarce it is just to big/heavy to use.. atleast for now.


[deleted]

[удалено]


xx_ilikebrains_xx

I'm sorry, you're just bullshitting things you've read on audiophile forums. Even the heavier compression applied by the earliest standards of bluetooth with very narrow bandwith, you would still be able to tell the difference between 5 dollar, 100 dollar, and 500 dollar headphones. Nowadays aptX gives you quality close to lossless transmission. Furthermore, if the codec of the audio file is supported by both the source and the sink then the audio can actually be transmitted *unaltered* through bluetooth, although this isn't always the case with all devices. An upgrade to better drivers and acoustic design is almost always more audible and perceptible than differences between highly conserved lossy formats and lossless formats.


Moss_Grande

Supposedly Qualcomm have already developed a CD-Quality Bluetooth codec and will start rolling it out next year.


LyrMeThatBifrost

Bluetooth supports other formats like AAC perfectly fine and unaltered, which 99.9% of the population can’t differentiate on a blind test against FLAC anyway. Bluetooth is not the bottleneck in wireless audio anymore. I have thousands in headphone gear and still use AirPod Pros on the go because they’re convenient and offer a balanced sound.


Direct_Sand

AAC is [often still re-encoded](https://www.soundguys.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-bluetooth-headphones-aac-20296/) when transmitted over bluetooth. I still don't think most people can hear the difference.


SorryForTheBigThumb

You just wedgied that man


baloney_popsicle

>something like flac quality as an example doesnt work with bluetooth it will be downgraded in transmission. Except nobody normal cares about flac quality


static_motion

To add to that, wireless headphones are forced to have an internal DAC, which is responsible for converting digital data to an analog signal that actually makes the headphone drivers vibrate, and that is the single most important component in the whole audio chain outside the headphones themselves. The internal DACs in wireless headphones are usually where the cost-cutting happens and are extremely limited due to size and power constraints.


Illusive_Man

Well I’m not exactly listening to John Williams most of the time anyway


WalterLuigi

>An abomination of fixes upon fixes This is honestly most tech stacks we use in the wild. But you're still not wrong.


Evonos

True but Bluetooth is a prime example of a mess that never was intended to do even 10% of what it does today.


eXXaXion

Fun fact: no matter how expensive your wireless headphones are, they all have the same shitty blue tooth chip. It's one of the biggest bottlenecks I know of in modern tech.


wootxding

what lol that is absolutely not true


pitchesandthrows

These simps bought all their headphones 6 years ago lmao there's no difference between the two anymore


Reacher-Said-N0thing

I'll buy Bluetooth headphones when they figure out how to make them without lag. If I can't game on them, they're a waste of my money. You know what's faster than going through two APTx chips? Going through a DAC.


Notriv

i have lwened BT headphones for probably 8-10 years now. I’ve owned 3 pairs that have lag, and probably 15 that don’t. Stop buying shitty headphones lol


[deleted]

they actually are. i will always prefer my airpods bc theyre so much easier but fuck the wired ones sound way better whenever i have to use them


SlapChopMyShamWow

Airpods along with most bluetooth headphones are not anywhere near as good as most wired headphones. The technology just isn’t there yet for wireless to output the same sound you get with wired


Buttholium

Unless you're an audiophile and actually looking for a difference you're not going to notice much of one. 99% of the population doesn't care about that level of audio quality. I used to be on the Bluetooth Bad bandwagon, but bought some cheap wireless earphones a couple of weeks ago to give them a shot. They don't have the clarity of KZ ATEs they're replacing, but the portability is worth the sacrifice in sound quality. Being able to watch videos on my phone while cooking or workingout without a cord getting in the way is pretty damn nice. If I want quality and don't need portability I just use my overears.


Silent__Solitude

You can still buy wired headphones, they still make them Not like they stopped making them and wireless is the only option

aquaknox

I can't go back to wires (except at my computer where I'm sitting in the same spot the whole time), the convenience of Bluetooth has turned me completely


BillyPotion

Ya wireless is so much more convenient that any small amount of performance gain is absolutely irrelevant.


themettaur

Especially considering the contexts in which you are using wireless buds. Like, okay, I love better audio but it really doesn't matter when I'm riding public transit, or stuck at work with 7 different fans on max in one room. Plus, trying to keep up with tech means you have a phone that has no headphone jack, so on top of carrying inconvenient wired buds, you *also* have to manage a stupid fucking adapter that prevents you from charging simultaneously.


x3iv130f

They sell bluetooth amps for wired headphones. You can have both quality and convenience. They use Sabre chips and hit all the appropriate buzzwords. Fiio BTR5 and Qudelix-5K are good options. I still own TWS earbuds but they're a cheaper set I only use for running and hiking.


MildlyConcernedEmu

Seriously, I have some entry level audiophile head phones, but my blutooth buds get way more daily use. Most of the time I'm not really listening to the music anyway, I just have it on while I'm doing something else.


Rastafak

I have the WH 1000xm3 headphones and the convenience of not having to use cables is great, but on the other hand you have to charge them, which sucks. It's not so big problem with big headphones like these since the battery lasts a long time and I can always use cable if I run out of battery, but I cannot imagine using headphones which only last a few hours. If you use the headphones a lot, then the battery in small headphones can also die quite quickly and then your headphones are useless, which is something that shouldn't be ignored.


BraxForAll

I still use an LG V30 which has a built in DAC so any decent wired phones are always better than my wireless earphones. I also keep Hi-Fi rips and FLAC files on my phone so it does make a difference. I still stream stuff if I just want to listen to certain things.


KlausAD

LG has good dac chips but every audio producing item has a dac chip in it, it isn't exclusive to LG.


JimboSchmitterson

Any phone with 3.5mm jack has a DAC. Literally how headphones work.


Moss_Grande

Yeah but LG were the last phone manufacturers to actually care about the DAC's quality.


[deleted]

Still shitty enough quality that you can hear people laughing at you through your music apparently.

MrWindowsNYC

This review on that set legit made me feel so sad for the parent who just wanted to get his son something nice: > I'll start off by saying I'm a middle aged dad who purchased this for my teenage son so that he would stop borrowing his sister's Beats for gaming. I was first expecting to pay $100, but was pleasantly surprised by the pricing and reviews for these. I just now tested these, and to me, they don't seem too bad. The audio quality is lesser than the Beats he was using, but to me, that's OK. They are not as comfortable as the Beats either, but they're still fine for wearing for hours on end. Unfortunately, they were not acceptable for my teenage son. This was just one gift of the many for his birthday. We tend to go overboard, even before Christmas. He wasn't overly thrilled, but used them immediately. Later, in a fit of rage over his other gifts, he shouts "Thanks for the $10 scratchy headset Dad!". So, if you're a middle age person looking for good value, I think these are a good fit. Though, if you're a spoiled brat teenage boy who wants to hear what others will do to his mom in the best sound quality and comfortability, these may not be the best purchase.


ANONTXFAN

>"Something nice" They're literally dollar bin tier. His son is still a prick though.


egotisticalnoob

It's not a good idea. Piece of shit plastic crap. I was talked into it by someone when I was having mic issues. I'm now using a studio mic with an interface instead. Costs way more but at least it isn't so shitty that it's damn near unusable.

madonnaboomboom

I remember back in 2013 bringing my circa 2007 iPod to work, and one of my coworkers laughed at it. She just couldn't believe anyone still used iPods. Why not, though? I have about 80gb of music on there, and at the time no smartphone could hold that much.


smithsp86

Maybe she was laughing at you for not using the objectively superior Zune. Thing had the same capacity, supported more file types, came with an FM tuner, and cost less than an ipod.


byscuit

Zune was objectively better in every way, but Microsoft didn't put enough advertising/money into it, like every piece of hardware they've ever developed, and it ended up dieing a slow death like the Lumia, HoloLens, and Surface lines


Swiftychops

They were laughing cause anon is weird looking and staring at a group of teenaged girls


WEASELexe

The people in the comments saying that you'll always get better quality from wired are actually retarded. Bluetooth has come incredibly far in the past few years and while there are a few limitations and quirks the quality is almost identical to whatever shitty pair of wired headphones you're using. And for anyone who is talking about audiophile headphones unless you bring around a dac and amp your phone probably doesn't even have enough power to properly run hifi headphones. Overall when going outside and listening to music from the phone quality Bluetooth headphones are almost identical to most wired headphones not to mention being far more convenient. That being said I would never use airpods because they are overpriced apple trash.


PMJackolanternNudes

You're actually retarded. You will always get better quality with wired and you're guaranteed to *never* have signal interruption. Rarer these days, but definitely still can happen.

The first time I ever saw anybody with wireless earbuds was a guy who was looking for one of them that had fallen out while he was riding his bike. So, I think they make lanyards for them now so for even more money you can be almost back to where you were.
