      When I got my first bluetooth headphones it felt so weird or even surreal to be able to stand up with them on my head and walk away without any problems.

        It’s like when you hurt your leg and get used to not being able to use it properly anymore. Then it gets better but your head still can’t process it just yet. Freedom.

      I’ve tried using Bluetooth headphones for my computer before, but the delay is always so bad it’s unusable for gaming or anything that requires low audio latency

        That’s why you use wifi (like steelseries arctis 7) headsets. They have no noticable latency when playing shooters or watching videos.

      I don’t trust Bluetooth. I’m watching anime, I cannot risk my sound somehow routing through a wireless speaker instead of my headphones unless I’m watching fuckin Mushishi or ACCA

    I would recommend threading your headphones through a clip. That way, when you get up, instead of pulling at a bad angle on your port, it’ll pull straight out and avoid any damage to the headphones or your port.

    Obviously this heavily depends on how your audio port on your computer is oriented (I have a DAC sitting towards the back of my desk), but if you do have a orientation where it’s possible, it’s a headphone and port saver

      My solution is 2 magnets. One taped on desks corner one to cord. Cord gets lifted from floor and if I get away from computer while leaving headset on, I feel slight snag but magnet gives away first.

      Now I actually own wireless headset but still use this for my charging cord.

      I just have a 10’ extension cord for my headphones so I can watch stuff on my TV from across the room

        I’ve had my fair share of expensive wired headphones, I have no doubt that there are still use cases for wired ones and that some people prefer them. But it’s just so much more convenient to not have the cable there anymore. The amount of times I got stuck on door handles…

        Seeing wired headphones on people has definitely declined drastically in recent years. It’s one of those societal changes that make movies from that era look really dated.

        Besides, I’m sure the really high end of headphones is mostly wired, but just because headphones are wired doesn’t automatically make them superior to any wireless one. There’s shitty ones and decent ones on both sides.
