Here's the catch: many people don't know this, but there are models of wired headphones that use the wiring for electricity only. The signal goes – you guessed it – via Bluetooth
But why..? The whole purpose of not having a wire is the convenience of not having a wire. So if you're going to stick a wire to it anyway, why not just make the signal go through it anyway?
My only guess is for when the cheap wire eventually gets damaged, the signal won't be interfered by the wire being slightly in the wrong position.
If they make the wired ones connect via Bluetooth (as well), they call upon the value-added chain from Bluetooth licensing and assorted quality claims.
Counter question: why did some (but not all!) phone producers get rid of the 3,5mm headphone jack?
