Never said that bluetooth buds/earphones should be dismantled, please abandon this "if you have an argument for your thing it means you're against my thing" mindset, it makes you sound dumb and you are not;
Back in the 90's joggers would run with huge-ass cassette walkmans powered by 4x AA batteries strapped on their shorts and hardly anyone popped an hernia or got strangled by the earphones: while we had great achievements in terms of electronics wearability, don't let comfort be your cage.

Yeah I realize my comment came off as argumentative and isn’t really how I meant it, I more so meant I can’t see a way for me to use a wired set without changing how comfortable my run currently is. (Again, I do PREFER wired for home use etc, but on the go I just can’t use anything but my AirPods for comfort). I think it’s also an ease of use thing for me too, as I LOVE that I can go for that run, come home, take a shower WITH THEM, to rinse off, then sit down with my steam deck and they are already connected without me doing a thing. I think I’m just spoiled by the ease of use the more I type about this honestly.

If you find yourself having a good run with them, have at it, don't let anyone yuck your yum.
I just want to be given the possibility of making the choice I think it's best for my use cases

I do think adapters are not a terrible option as people make them out to be, as an Apple user I just would be happy with usbc wired headphones…. Once the eu finally forced Apple to make the iPhone use usb c. It’s literally the only device I have that doesn’t use it. And I hate lightening so much I just use MagSafe to charge in my vehicle and by my bed and that’s it. I refuse to carry another cable.

while they're better than having nothing at all, I don't think they're a good solution: if you connect a dongle every day to your phone you're putting a lot of strain on a USB-C port, making it wear a lot faster than usual. It happened to me with my last cell phone, in a little more than one year it couldn't hold the charging cable properly anymore and I was forced to change it. If you use it extensively like I did, bluetooth earphones might be a better choice
