Ive had my 20€ BT headphones for 8 years now and theyre still working. On the other hand, I ran through around 10 cable headphones in the years before that. The cables broke really fast because I used them daily, even though I stored them in small cases. Seems everyone judges based on their personal experience.

Overears where you can switch the cable might be more sustainable, thats right. Also there are 3.5mm to USB-C adapters for like 1€ so you can still use them without the actual jack, just not while charging.

Buy decent cabled headphones, audio quality is much better than most Bluetooth headphones and they're built like a tank.

Many years ago I went through multiple wired headphones with price ranging from 20€ to 100€ and they all broke within months. Then I bought nice pair of bluetooth headphones and have been using them for about 7 years now. Never going back.
