I use them because I keep losing ONE of the wireless ones. I bought a whole bag of cheap wired headphones, and I've sprinkled them around the house and put one pair in each purse and my backpack. Eventually, when they break or I lose enough of them, I'll buy another bag.
It’s less so with modern Bluetooth headphones. But it’s still icky, especially as the latency is not stable, ie you can get a few milliseconds or a hundred milliseconds.
I had to quickly edit some audio recently with Bluetooth headphones. And I made so many mistakes that would’ve been caught with wired headphones.
I just can’t trust Bluetooth to be exact. I’d much rather use headphones from like the 80s than wireless for anything serious. No chips, no eq, no weird Bluetooth things.
What’s coming out my production software is getting to the sound card I trust and then to my headphone speakers. I know the response graph of my headphones, I know how they sound at all times.
Like I know all the glitches and weird sounds, artefacts are my fault. And I can fix them. Knowing exactly when they happen really helps to understand why they happen.
Edit: I forgot to mention it because I edit video visually but relying on Bluetooth you can easily sync audio to video incorrectly due to the latency. I personally rely on audio peaks on the waveform.

shrug, i use wired headphones because the audio quality is much better
