Audio quality and affordability. Dankpods (youtuber) does a good rundown on the wired vs. wireless debate for headphones, but the TL;DW is that wired headphones have no latency, don’t need to be repaired as often (no batteries), generally speaking have higher quality (no need for Bluetooth processing to murder the audio, and no additional hardware needed besides the basics), and cost far less for the same performance, aside from studio-quality gear.
The main advantage of wireless headphones is portability and convenience, but you lose all of the advantages above, also paying more for replacements and potentially more often (if you lose them).
Granted, you can bypass a lot of the issues with a USB-C to AUX adapter, but that means you’re relying on the phone handling the conversion well (not always guaranteed), and it’s another point of faliure that can be broken (alongside putting extra strain on the USB-C port).
Plus, options aren’t a bad thing, ya know? You can cover it up with a piece of putty if you hate having options that much.
If you happen to forget your headphones, you can borrow a cheap one from anyone, everyone has a few cheap ones at home they don’t care about. If this is not possible, you can buy very cheap ones in almost any shop. This saved me a few times from boring hour long train rides. I have a Sony BTW, so I have a small phone, 4 days battery life, a headphone jack, a SD card slot, no screen camera notch and front facing speakers. Unfortunately no one wants those feature so Sony mobile is dying.
I do, but last I checked they were too expensive.
The 10 series is cheap, but extremely shitty in the spec department. Plus almost no custom ROM support, stupidly high resale value.
What phone do you have?
I’ve seen sony phones, but I don’t trust sony either.
I like options. I love my portapros. But they gather dust on the shelf because I’m a perennial cord-tripper and I will gladly sacrifice a lot of stuff to avoid all the footguns that wired headphones give me.
I still use them with my Gameboy advance sp clone thing that plays emulators. They’re really good for that.
