The advantages of having wireless headphones that also have a 3.5mm port on to use as wired are invaluable.
Point one is valid. But the batteries will fail at some point. Also cheaper headphones won't have as good batteries as more expensive models.1.) Lithium ion technology is pretty consistent (And has matured a lot) , and if it’s managed properly through frequent charging and not allows to deplete consistently, you’d be surprised how long it lasts. Heck, I still have phones that will power on from 10 years ago, simply just because I managed the battery efficiently and it was stored in ambient temperatures.
2.) Cords fail on wired? Never had that happen. Again, I think it really depends how you treat your device. I remember when people were saying that the wire on the standard 3.5 mm EarPods (Included with older iPhone models) were prone to fail, and I still have three pair that have no issues with the wire whatsoever. Seriously, I think people don’t take ownership for their actions on how they treat their devices, therefore they emphasize the blame on the manufacturer. Kind of all too common in this world.
I don't think I've seen a pair that don't.The advantages of having wireless headphones that also have a 3.5mm port on to use as wired are invaluable.
I don’t think the AirPods Max have a 3.5mm port. They don’t even have USB-C and still use lightning from what I gather and they are 550 quid!!I don't think I've seen a pair that don't.
To be fair, despite the user name, I'll not be ordering any. For that price I'd want it to be able to make calls independent of the phone and take pictures!I don’t think the AirPods Max have a 3.5mm port. They don’t even have USB-C and still use lightning from what I gather and they are 550 quid!!
Mine have a 3.5mm port and USB-C and were a ninth of the price.
Well, right, all lithium batteries fail. I think anyone has an idea that’s how rechargeable batteries work. But the majority of lithium ion technology is generally the same, it really is all about management with charging frequency.Point one is valid. But the batteries will fail at some point.

True I never had battery last on me no more than 6 years before it needs to be replaced.Batteries fail on wireless.
Cords fail on wired.
I don’t think we can blame Apple for the wash or dog bites! I think this would be beyond mist manufactures normal use.My Bose QC2 are over a decade now.
But I’m on my third pair of AirPods...the first pair suffered a slow and painful battery death after a year + of constant daily use beyond anything I subjected my Bose to. The second pair were chewed by puppies and run through the wash (bad week).

Oh of course. I give them loads of credit, actually. One of the EarPods still mostly works. Really impressive considering the dogs put cracks in the casing before it went through a full cycle.I don’t think we can blame Apple for the wash or dog bites!
