Corporations will, 99% of the time, take things you bought away from you if... 1. They are not making (enough) money on them any more 2. They can and get away with it Simply because they want to clear the stage of all competition for their next offering, including old offerings you may be happy with...
I’m generally doing a lot of movement while wearing headphones, whether it’s walking, working, or cycling, so I’ve found wireless headphones have lasted much longer than my old wired ones as well as being more convenient.
Wired headphones do have a bunch of advantages, but so do wireless, and product lifetime isn’t a great measurement when it’s dependent on use.
edit: A better example would be smartphones, with support for models being dropped within a few years, and them slowly becoming more and more incompatible with new features, regardless of their physical condition.

I’ve found the opposite, but then I wear giganitc studio headphones with a removable jack cable, so if it breaks i can just shove a new cable in.
