Given that you pair headphones once per device, but listen to them all the time, perhaps sound quality should be your #1 consideration?

@dnanian Except that in practice something always goes wrong with Bluetooth so I have to pair and unpair rather frequently.
Dave Nanian ‏@dnanian Sep 8

@mjtsai I’ve honestly never had to do that, over many years. Not once (except if I somehow cleared all pairings).
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai Sep 8

@dnanian Lucky you I guess? Across multiple phones and headsets (different brands) I probably do it every few weeks.
Dave Nanian ‏@dnanian Sep 8

@mjtsai Wow. Are you sure power cycling won’t “fix” it? Apple’s BT stack isn’t great.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai Sep 8

@dnanian Powercycling the headset doesn’t always. Not sure about the phone; it’s faster to re-pair than to reboot.
Dave Nanian ‏@dnanian Sep 8

@mjtsai Yeah, but the question is “where is the problem” - the stack/phone or the pairing. I think it’s the former - pairing is OK.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai Sep 8

@dnanian Could be. In that case, let me rephrase as “reliability” rather than “pairing“ being the #1 consideration.

@mjtsai If the stack is broken, it’ll be broken for AirPods too. Yes, fixing stack would be good. But error is not inherent to BT pairing.
