Noise cancelling isn't incompatible with wires...

And both wired and wireless have their own convenience problems. But the wireless ones are more frustrating in my experience.



What's inconvenient about wireless ones with ANC versus wired ones with ANC?


Pairing problems, occasional dropouts, and the biggest one, delay.


Never had any of those. Define delay, maybe I have it.

Bluetooth usually introduces some pretty big delays to sound. Sometimes video players can synchronize themselves, but controls will have a weird lag even for audio-only applications and hopefully you don't want to do anything interactive.

And speaking of interactive, your typical bluetooth device will drop to horrendous quality if you switch into headset mode.
