That would make sense if wired wasn't far superior to wireless from a reliability and throughput standpoint

The iPhone's Bluetooth 4 is capable of 24 Mbps. If that's not enough throughput for your music listening, I'm not sure what to tell you.

I work in an office with a lot of 2.4 GHZ wifi going on - bluetooth anything (including keyboard and mouse) doesn't work worth a damned in that environment.

Wireless is a poor substitute for wired in most real-world usecases. Wireless gives you: unpredictable performance, latency, contention for available frequencies, and having to deal with batteries.

I think it's OK for wifi, only because most of the time the bandwidth of wifi is greater than the bandwidth of your ISP. But I think that's a problem with the state of ISPs, not a blessing of wifi.

Were you given early access to Apple's "wireless" AirBuds?

Yes, apparently he saw the keynote before anyone

Explain plz
