Wired Earbuds or Headphones? Most wired earbuds are crap, so it makes sense to use Bluetooth.
Wired Headphones should not break. I don’t want to argue with your experiences, but I have never seen headphones break. I used a pair for seven years, and only stopped using it wasn’t worth it to buy new pads (the headphones cost $20, pads $10).
I’ve had plenty of cables on wired headphones die, and if the headphones don’t have removable cables, that’s it for them (unless you can solder on new cables, but you could also argue that you can replace the battery of wireless headphones). I’ve had the cable of my Sennheisers break like 3 times so far and I’ve only had the headphones for a couple of years, luckily they can be replaced easily
I’ve gone through many pairs of headphones too, I’ve worked from home for years and had a long-distance relationship in a time before smartphones (and before cheap wireless headphones) so Skype+headphones was the solution. Both driving over them with an office chair and accidentally pulling them were real dangers and caused real damage.
Now I just don’t use them anymore, since I have meetings on a company laptop, and the relationship is much closer.
