The thing about wired earbuds and headphones is that they're already pretty sustainable. A good pair can last you decades, while wireless buds are usually throwaway products. So I think it's pretty cool that they're doing something about that for those that want wireless earbuds.
I think you misunderstood, I want wireless headphones that have the two earbuds connected via a wire so you know, one doesn’t just pop out if your ear and drop on the street.
Ah, indeed I did.
I think JBL and some other brands do carry such earbuds, but maybe it might not be thz kind of wire you'd fancy. There are also cheaper options that have a wire linking the two ear buds, but as I said those are usually cheap and might not be up to your standards.
I have a set of those from Jabra
Bang and Olufsen used to make a set like that, they were pretty snazzy.
They are called "Wireless" headphones when there is a wire connecting them. "True Wireless" means two separate earbuds.
Then “true wireless” is a bad experience, at least from my eyes.
Ears?
Ugh? I used to burn through wired earbuds at a pace of maybe one pair per month. You basically have to sit and not move if you don't want to damage the wire IME
Some of the better ones have removable cables. You'll usually just yank them out or worst case if the cable is damaged you can easily replace it.
How much are you paying for your headphones? Nicer ones that don't break as easily are probably a cost effective option for you.
And still like only $20 for ones with the ability to replace a broken wire
