Are you rocking Bluetooth for music or do you enjoy a more old school setup?

Bluetooth it's 2026

Nothing beats an old school set up

i work in studios where we have the best sound on Earth and much of the playback is Bluetooth now, for recording it is all wired and i think always will have to be for fidelity, and for live sound once the wired setup is done the inputs and comms are mostly radio transmitters, which failed us one time and that was a one-in-a-million fluke

for myself i like AirPods Max when i'm sitting listening to music and AirPods Pro 3 when i'm moving around or out of the house, and our engineers use these a lot for their own stuff, and they can have anything they want. and i like that you can connect with other people and watch or listen to the same things with really high-end sound. these are a huge jump up from the AirPods Pro 2 but i wish they had just called them AirPods Pro 4 because it's confusing with AirPods 4 being out at the same time

also i'm in France right now and the translation thing on them has been amazing

It is? You should have stopped by my apartment in the late 90s.

Old school. About $25,000 tied up in a 7.1 channel audio system for music and home theater. It can synthesize venues like a jazz club, stadium, church, acoustic live setting, various actual famous theaters.

The only thing I use Bluetooth for is music on my phone for running, planes, or in the car, or phone calls on the move outside the car. I have my entire music library ripped to my phone at 256K, about 7,000 songs. The audio in that case comes from a pair of cheap earbuds off Amazon for sports activity or my Etymotic Research in ear canal phones for critical listening.

Thas' rich!

The claim, not the earbuds.

I listen on the speaker sometimes. It's good for when I'm cooking. Or moving a lot. My computer has studio monitors. So even though they sound sweet they only go so loud and there more meant for analyzing music rather than enjoying it.

My old car had a decent setup. I had Rockford fosgate in the back and focal in the front. The only thing really holding it back was my cheap amplifier. Which was a banda 800w

And nothing has so far. But alas, mine blew about two years ago this July. I bought it in July of 1997 and it was so pure and mean. Kenwood receiver, Kenwood, 25 amp equalizer, 2 DCM KX 12" loudspeakers along with Bose, midrange and tweeter which accented beautifully as my stereo allowed for mixing up their power. It was sweet.

Most music i listen to is on YT and i play out on my smart tv and soundbar

[madhatters4]

mostly blue tooth at this point. but i do have a record player and definitely rock it old school analog plenty of times

[ArrowheadSW]

I have both. I prefer Bluetooth for convenience.

[exitseven]

I rarely listen to my old school stereo. I have lots of music on my laptop and use a Bose bluetooth speaker

[LuciusTheOdd]

The fact that I use a record player very consistently should Say a lot.

[najekim]

I just have a JBL stereo bluetooth sitting under my computer monitors that sounds great in the home office. Surround sound in the living room.

Wifi Hifi homey.

[Pterodon]

Old school. Wired sounds better period
