Bluetooth is amazing, don't get me wrong. But it doesn't always work and it's hard to figure out why something won't connect. Plugging something works every time.
BT LE audio should help in that regard. It also has some cool features like directly sending audio to individual ear buds rather than having to have one bud relay the audio to the other and "auracast" which allows multiple devices to listen to a single source.
not sure why you have that experience, the only issue i've had with bluetooth is not figuring out how to enable pairing mode on some device, which.. that's the device having a shit implementation, it's like putting a headphone jack under what looks like a screw cover.
