Plugged In.
Bluetooth may have reigned supreme for the past decade, but 2025 is gearing up to be the year of the wired headphone revival. Ditching wireless ear buds is a fashion statement, a bit of analog rebellion, and a good budget option all in one.
But the comeback isn’t purely vibes-based. Wired headphones actually have real perks: no charging, fewer connectivity problems, and often better sound clarity. Plus, you don’t have to worry about your Airpod falling into a subway grate. As far as aesthetics go, fashion and tech continue to merge and wires are the latest accessory being reframed as deliberate choices. So whether you’re chasing retro looks, better sound, or just one less thing to charge, plugging in is suddenly feeling like a good call.
