      But what’s the problem with having an analog component?

      Also, your last claim is weird, because the headphones will ultimately require an analog signal, so, it just changes the place where the conversion is made, either in the user device, or in a digital circuit inside the headphones, and the cable diatance is small enough for adding interference. Your better sound experience is probably due to manufacturers making better sound actuators, not due to the digital data transmission. Try some really cheap bt headphones, and you will see what bad quality is.

      I see myself wanting to listen to music in situations where the data signal is bad more often than I want to use my phone underwater or something.

      It doesn’t make it at all harder to waterproof the devices. Sony has been making them for a decade now (IP57 in 2013 on the Xperia Z), Samsung didn’t have any issues with the S10 line either. This is just a lie manufacturers tell you to sell bluetooth crap.

      get radio.garden or another app

      This requires an expensive (in my country) data plan and cell tower service.

      Digital headphones have better sound quality than analog headphones, too.

      There’s no such thing as digital headphones.
