And latency!! Anything that needs to be real time is impossible without wired headphones. Even the lowest latency wireless is noticeable.

This is the big one for me, I hate all that lag with bluetooth, signal interference, and constantly wondering which device my headphones have connected to. So much easier for so many reasons, with a wire!

Real time covers a lot of different things, and have a lot of different solutions.

Do you mean real time like games? “Wireless” headsets are perfectly fine and usable. Real time audio? Wireless transmitters and receivers exist and are used (granted with wireless in-ears but IMO that’s mostly so the don’t fall out) at the absolute highest level of audio production and live events.

You definitely can’t just say wireless isn’t used for real time.
