That's why I prefer wired headphones and my Pebble smartwatch. Wired headphones always work! Okay, yeah, my watch does need to be plugged in just like any other smartwatch, but only every few days. It's a shame the company went bankrupt and was bought out by Fitbit, which was later bought out by Google.
I disagree with wired headphones always working. I bought a pair of wireless earbuds just over a year ago. They still work great and I use them daily. In the same time multiple people I know have gone through multiple pairs of wired headphones. Additionally with more phones removing the headphone jack a lot of people have to use adapters for their headphones and cannot charge while listening to music.
By "always work" I was referring to them not needing to be charged. I don't know how many times I've pulled out a pair of wireless headphones that I haven't used in a while, only to discover that they're dead. With wired headphones, you plug them in and they work. That's it. No fuss, no muss. Plus, if you're using them with your phone and your laptop, you don't have to worry that your headphones might still be connected to your other device.
