              They are expensive. You can get wired earphones for 2 euros that actually work and are reasonably durable. It's not a great loss if they fall in a puddle or if I step on them.
They are a lot more failure prone. Half of those I tried didn't work or only half worked, and those that did work didn't last very long.
They have shitty range. I can use a 10 meters extension cord with wired earphones if I want to.
They require charging. And it's a law of physics that everything that requires charging always run out at the most inconvenient time.
Also THEY ALWAYS GET LOST. Wireless earphones, mouse, controllers... it doesn't matter, if it's not attached with a cable they'll just disappear.

LOL, 10m extension cord. I mean you've already established that you don't give a crap about sound quality with your first point but that's just ridiculous. Not to mention the 10m cord that your dragging around the house.

I don't really care about sound quality when using earphones at home because I only use them when there's a lot of ambient noise so the sound will be bad either way. When doing vacuum cleaning, or the dishes, stuff like that. When I still had a smartphone I used a 1,5m extension cord so it wouldn't pull on the jack each time I move, but since it died I'm using a much longer one plugged to my PC (not actually 10m, that was hyperbole, more like 5m). It's not very convenient I'll admit, but it does the job.

Wait... have you actually lost your mouse? Hilarious if true 😂

Well not actually lost... I just haven't found under which furniture it rolled yet 😅
