Bluetooth headphones have become affordable.

A few years ago, when Bluetooth headphones where starting to be pushed to consumers on smartphones was starting to be pushed on consumers by omitting the 3.5mm jack connector on some models, my problem was pricing.

At time, finding a decent pair of Bluetooth headphone under $25 USD was almost impossible. Now, you can find some well under that price point easily, since the tech has become common place not only in smartphones, but also in other consumer electronic devices like smart TVs, most smartphones, and laptops. That has helped to bring down prices of devices with Bluetooth connection, and the price point of a decent pair of Bluetooth headphones will only come down with time.

While the audio quality of most Bluetooth headphones will not be what an audiophile wants, it will be more than good enough for casual use. I use wireless headphones on the go with my smartphone, and at work with my laptop when I need to focus, and they work quite nicely. So much so, that I won't go back to wired headphones on my smartphone, and have headphones that use the 3.5mm jack just in case the battery dies on my headphones.

As time goes by, and Bluetooth become more ubiquitous I only expect the tech to become more affordable and better for audio.

Its quite amazing that in my lifetime Bluetooth headphone have become something that only businessman would have, with a bad audio quality reputation, to something with a decent audio quality that more people could afford.
