I just a brand new pair of headphones for my birthday and it's my first wireless headphones I've owned. I have to say I'm not the biggest fan as they keep beeping when plugged into my computer. Even when I use the wire for them, they still have to be turned on and they use batteries. It's really odd and I simply prefer Wired headphones.
Wired or Wireless Headphones??

I prefer wired headphones because they usually cost less money, and I do not need to use batteries.

I have always used wired as I greatly dislike closed-back headphones for both comfort and sound, and that pretty much removes all the wireless ones. My current set is the Sennheiser PC37X and I can't say I know a wireless headset that would even compete with it directly.
I think that's why I consider my Bose my favorite because they can function both wired and wireless. For the convenience I think overall I prefer wireless, assuming I remember to charge completely. Nothing more annoying than being an hour into a long run and my headphones die.

Wired for me, I don't want all those signals beaming into my head.

I am concerned with exploding batteries in more cheaply made wireless headphones. I seen news stories of people getting burned from wireless headphones.
The wireless audio signals being close to my head is also a concern.

Hopefully, a company makes a very safe battery, so you don't risk injuring your heart.
Tbh it’s sad that people legit believe this. People believing Bluetooth and WiFi causing cancer or whatever don’t know how radio signals actually work.
There’s a massive difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation.

I wouldn't call it sad, true there is nothing concret out there, but there is enough studies and evidence to show there are some affected one way or another out there.
Tbh there really isn’t anything, outside of conflicting information, or it’s a situation where the lab rats were exposed to an abnormally large amount of non-ionizing radiation that nobody will ever experience. So it’s like “technically” true, but nobody who cites them actually read the article and just the title.
It’s like you can die from drinking too much water, and people just see the headline, and either didn’t read it, or ignored the “18 gallons in one day” part and tell you to lay off of water. I made up the 18 gallon part, but it is still a stupidly high amount of water you have to drink.
So with something like Bluetooth headphones, to get cancer from from non-ionizing radiation, you would have to be next to a ridiculously high amount of devices to get cancer.
Or it’s from those same bullshit clickbait sites that anti-vaxxers get their information from.
You would think that if this stuff actually caused cancer and such, these sites would actually tell you that cancer rates have gone up. The ones that tell you nothing will happen have sources showing that cancer rates didn’t change after these became commonplace.
I’ve also been trained on radio communications, so you learn a lot on the differences between the two. It’s all people being gullible and not actually reading articles.

Wired. Easier to keep track of and it's worth untangling the cords and if you can pay there are ones where the cords don't tangle. Got some Beats a few Christmas ago. The only thing is they cancel sound from people talking to you so make sure you're alone. Bluetooth is good too, but it can sometimes be a hassle connecting them to something and changing the volume.
