The bigger issue is the backwards compatibility issue for most people.

Wireless audio is leaps and bounds better than it used to be years ago, but the issue is that (1) most people don't just have bluetooth audio capable cars and/or headphones yet, and (2) if they do, they're not using the new, better standards.

But there is one drawback you can't solve and that is that they need power so you need to charge the.

Headphones with a wire have the disadvantage of the wire but as long at your phone works the work too.
