Rade0nfighterFairphone 5 - The Ars Technica Review
ArtificialLinkWith no headphone jack thats gonna be a no for me dawg. How can they promote sustainability and then design a product that is going to be unusable in 5 years max. That’s just the reality of all wireless headphones. The battery will fail to hold charge and they will become useless. Not the truth for wired headphones. Goodwired headphones will last as long as you’re able to take care of them usually

I don’t know how you use your headphones, but in my case I switched to wireless because every single pair of wired headphones I had would break. Usually the cable, earbuds because they were in my pocket, and the overhead ones I’d drive over with my office chair.
Switched to wireless a couple years ago, no issues since then.
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 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.
