It's weird; when I watch a YouTube video or play a game on my phone with Bluetooth headphones, I can notice a clear delay between what I'm seeing and hearing. But when I play a game with a Bluetooth controller, I don't notice any kind of input delay.

They are using better technology in the controllers then in headphones. An audio delay is not a dealbreaker, most people can accept it for the convenience of bluetooth. The same is not true for controllers, any noticeable delay (outside of pro players, who will spend hundreds of dollars on a high-end controller anyways so they aren't the target market) would absolutely kill any benefit to them being wireless.

Edit:

Oh, yea...

Been using a wireless pro controller for my switch and its one of the best controllers Ive ever had. Just beat BotW with it and Bluetooth ear buds.

Controller works fine, but the Bluetooth headphones take a couple tries before they fully connect. But hey, its one of the first consoles to provide this. its the way of the future

Wireless gets better as time goes on, I wouldn't even worry about it anymore.

Back in 2008 I felt like I was taking crazy pills because everyone was talking about bluetooth like it was the next great thing, but it was so glitchy it worked 30% of the time. Phones would use bluetooth on the same chip that handled wifi, so you couldnt do both at the same time.

That does make sense; my headphones aren't fancy or expensive

The gratuitous caps lock and quotation marks around "wireless" is giving me big boomer complaining on Facebook vibes. It's like trying to add mocking emphasis to the word, but not understanding the current formatting conventions for communicating that tone. It's kind of weird to see that juxtaposed against a post about video game controllers.

Also ?

I am quite familiar with dad jokes, yes. I would not have suspected that this topic was meant to be one, though.
