I used to be one of those keyboard fanatics until i realised swipe typing was much faster, so it was an actual improvement overall.
with bluetooth it's not a great comparison since the only improvement is that you don't have to deal with annoying cables anymore but everything else is a step back:
they cost more.
you have to charge them.
the battery will degrade over time to a point where they will be unuseable while headphones from 20 years ago will work just fine.
even if the battery lasts you might run into compatability issues at some point in the future (different bt versions etc).
they drain more battery from your phone.
they have connection issues.
they are awkward to pair to new devices.
you cant share your music with someone sitting next to you.

They'll have to pry the QWERTY keypad and headphone jack[1] from my cold, dead hands...or stop Android security updates.
