I know that we of feeble ears can only guess but no where is it said that the quality is in bursts. It is always (and seldom)said just that they prefer the wired. I would think that if it was the power down it would only occur then. This is a lot like the flac vs wav with some people. I really think it's more likely to be input levels to be this noticeable.
