But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don't do this not because they can't but because they don't want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.

My sony ones survive more than a week.

that isn't the typical experience though, and letting your batteries drain completely is bad for them. also if you don't have some sort of routine, a lot of people (myself included) end up forgetting to charge them and end up with no working headphones until they can charge them again, which is pretty annoying.

Yes, I get it. I would still use wired headphones, but I got bluetooth ones as a gift. And to add to your critisism, batteries die and you have to replace them around every 10 years.

I haven't had wired headphones last me more than a year. One bad snag on a cable any they're done. 10 years is a long time.

Well i didn't mean the headphones, I meant the batteries.
