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.

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.
