Anything that has a wall plug carries crazy levels of background hum to any audio equipment I plug into it. I&amp;#x27;m sure there is something I could buy to fix that (I can&amp;#x27;t fix the electrics though as I&amp;#x27;m renting).&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, instead of doing loads of research and buying new equipment, I can just connect my headphones or speakers by Bluetooth and the noise is gone.&lt;p&gt;Now I have to deal with the annoyances of Bluetooth which are not zero either. But it&amp;#x27;s a great tradeoff for me.</text></comment>
