Meh. Who cares. The earbuds wouldn't be any better if they weren't "bluetooth”. And this way the user doesn't have to worry about charging their headphones.

Win-win if you ask me. This was probably inevitable once Apple removed the headphone jack.

@jonhendry @fraggle I'm imagining the "bluetooth" involved is old stuff with a really lossy audio codec that's good enough for a telco voice call but not good enough for rock'n'roll

@jonhendry ...they would though. The audio lag on wireless headphones is insane.

@jonhendry @fraggle audio over USB is easily lossless and low latency (not familiar with Apple's proprietary spec if there is one). Cheap BT is absolute trash. Where you probably aren't wrong is the DAC quality might be an hugely limiting factor either way.
