> But bluetooth is the worst technology to ever grace our airways, dongles fucking suck, and it's been a constant source of annoyance since I got it.
Can you expand on your issues with it? It has been very reliable for me.

It's absolutely insane trying to get exactly the one I want connected to my earphones. Basically, I have to make sure two of them have bluetooth off, so the third one reliably connects. Otherwise, sometimes left earphone will connect to one device, and right to other.
This is a deficiency of the protocol that there is no sane way to do this.
I have: personal MacBook, work MacBook, personal iPad, personal iPhone, and an old personal iPhone I use as a lower-distraction music player. I also often connect to my Fire TV stick to listen to TV without disturbing others in the house.
With my AirPods, this is all pretty seamless these days. I never have to turn Bluetooth off on them.
