    I also have to use it for work. I don’t know if it’s Adobe, or Windows 11, or a toxic combination of both, but not a single day goes by where I can just create without things randomly breaking. Illustrator stops letting me drag with the direct selection tool. Premiere switches to hotkeys as I’m typing text. InDesign…actually InDesign has been behaving.

    But literally all the other Adobe apps will break AS I’M USING THEM - like, an action I’ve literally just done suddenly doesn’t work or glitches out. A couple weeks ago Premiere and Photoshop would literally crash on open. The day before they were both fine.

    I have Gimp, Inkscape, and KdenLive installed just in case.

    No wrong way to take it - my complaints do sound like ye olden days of BT.

    I have a pair of Shockz bone conductors and a MiniRig 4, both of which I enjoy quite a bit. I have also run into all of these issues in the past year. My post was mostly meant to counter the statement that Bluetooth is so far ahead of old tech. Sure it’s great, but like any tech, it has fail points

    I have a bunch of different wired headphones (an embarrassing number of them) and they just don’t fail. I’ve never had a headphone jack fail on me. The sound is great - no batteries, no connection time, no latency, no compression, literally plug & play. There just isn’t much that can go wrong with them, so for me, BT is a convenience (when I don’t feel like having a cord) but not necessarily an improvement

    The key being: for me. Everyone else, if you love BT, keep enjoying it

    Reception cuts out of I turn wrong. Headphone batteries are usually flat when I decide I want to listen to something or take a call. Phone wants to pair with every other BT device except the headphones (save for the time it somehow forgets them and I have to dive into the menu and re-pair). Old phone’s BT is starting to get flaky. So much latency no matter what. Sound quality still not there yet.

    I do like not having a cord, but literally everything else about bt headphones is a step backwards against simplicity & longevity. I have minidisc equipment from the early oughts that still sounds fantastic on the PortaPros I also got at that time.

    Also you kids get off my lawn, apparently
