Do you prefer wired or Bluetooth headsets for better audio clarity?

I'm thinking about buying a new headset, but I'm confused about whether I should go with a wired or Bluetooth model. I mainly care about audio clarity for music, calls, and videos. If you've used both, which one gives you better sound quality and why?

As someone who does transcription, I'd probably choose a wired headset. When you're listening to audio for hours, even small differences in sound clarity can make a big impact. Wired headsets usually provide more consistent audio without worrying about Bluetooth compression, battery life, or connection issues. That said, Bluetooth headsets have come a long way, and they're great for everyday use. But if my job depends on catching every word accurately-especially with poor-quality recordings or multiple speakers-I trust a wired headset a little more. The reliability and clear audio make long transcription sessions much easier.
