Audio quality wasn't even on my radar since I'm not an audiophile, but them being at parity doesn't sway the argument one way or the other. Good technology typically outpaces the thing it replaces in all aspects. In this case, BT is effectively neutral or worse in many cases which is why I don't feel like it should replace the old method (headphone jack removal) but rather coexist alongside of it. I feel like we're going backwards wheh dongles enter the picture. It gives me flashbacks to the very early days of mainstream cellphones/smartphones and all the proprietary connectors that came with it.
