    Im a wired headphones person and even I think that battery death is a bullshit reason.

    The jack jack has a finite number of uses, as does the flexibility of the wire, many other components also aren’t indestructible.

      I still have an old Archos Jukebox that runs off weird green Double As and a hard drive. Everything else, including the screen, needed replacing before the aux jack had even an inkling of a problem.

      My wired cheap phones that I used almost daily for online meetings and calls is 11 yo, and still works normally. I doubt a cheap wireless would be close to last that much. I don’t even treat it with obsessive care or anything.
