Of course it's not a universal rule. But apples-to-apples, with a wired vs. wireless set of similar construction, cost, and intended use, the wired will outlast the wireless, solely due to the battery (not to mention the other complexities inherent to a wireless set).
- JumpCrisscross 6y ago> apples-to-apples, with a wired vs. wireless set of similar construction, cost, and intended use These aren’t independent variables. Most consumers I know will pay more for wireless headphones. They’re more convenient, and they’re anchored at a higher price point. As such, I’ve watched lots of friends go from buying cheap earbuds monthly to having a pair of AirPods for years. There is a lot of moralising around wired versus wireless. I’m pushing back against that fad.
