There are reasons though that some of us are resistant, and it's not because we fear change, or are antiquated, or can't "get with the times".
Unfortunately it sounds that way to me. We can take each argument one by one.
A) I'm an audiophile - Unless you have an LG V20 or a phone with comparable specs this argument is well.... strange. First of all the DAC's in most phones (not all) are pretty shitty and most lack the capability/power to even drive studio quality headphones properly. If they drive them at all chances are you'll lose out on some highs, lows, or just volume of any kind in general. Quite literally taking studio quality headphones and plugging them into your phone because your an "audiophile" is like taking a Celeron 400 and fitting it with a 1080 Ti because you "like to game". It's probably the worst argument to make. Furthermore there are MANY studio quality BT headphones (yes even AKG) which have their own DACs. So the argument that there are none is well as I said before... strange.
B) Connectivity Problems - Now this one I'll give you. However, if you are talking about range it makes no sense to say well I don't have a problem using something with a cord which has a finite range for sure vs something that is wireless. A phone that you would have in your pocket anyway isn't more than a meter from your ears and I've never had wireless headphones that close to my phone which would cause me to lose connection. As I said before I have a BT head unit in my car I get into it every day and listen to music to and from work. The only thing that gives me issues would be Youtube which is a problem with Youtube. The actual convenience and benefits of a BT head unit in your car is immeasurable. When I get a call, the radio automatically mutes. When I'm following directions the sound is sent to the rear automatically. When I get out of the car the phone automatically switches and then back to BT when I get back into the car. I'll take an occasional hiccup any day of the week for that level of convenience.
Having said that, while I've seen issues with pairing, it's never been so bad that it required everyone within BT range to turn their phones off. I have a BT speaker at work. It's never happened....EVER.
C) I just don't like wireless - Ok. That's much better than making poor arguments.
