Catch on everything, having to keep the device by me at all times (which I don't always have pockets for), God forbid I forget I have em in and go to move around, get em yanked out of my ears or send the phone flying.

You'd be perfect for an infomercial.

I'd rather wait for them to charge

Godd luck doing that when the battery can no longer hold a charge.

I was very resistant to getting a smartphone. I think my first Android was the blackberry q20. then a Samsung A10? I resisted touchscreens. I wanted physical ports and memory expansion and buttons.

and while I still hate touchscreens, I learned to like Bluetooth headphones. specifically, the Anker a3212.

maybe you would like them, too.

I also previously really liked the besign sh03 headphones, and I'm now lusting after the Sony wi-1000xm2

I don't "dislike" bluetooth headphones. They certainly are more convenient and I used them for things like going to the gym, commuting, vacuuming, etc. The problem is when that's your only option for no good reason. There's absolutely no excuse for omitting the headphone jack. Strange Parts on YT even added it to an iPhone that didn't have it and it works just fine so no, it's not a space problem and it would also not prevent the phone from being water resistant.

I like my Sony WF-1000XM4s but they don't sound as balanced as my Moondrop Aria or AKG K361 and they certainly aren't as durable.

i have not been able to justify any true wireless headphones at all. three loose parts, three batteries, so many failure points. it's like the problem you're explaining on steroids.

For walking (especially in winter) and going to the gym, they're very practical. But yeah, you can't get too attached. My earbuds in particular have a design flaw and Sony's replaced them 4 times already.
