I get that bit. It can be irritating. But so is having an extra item to charge. And the battery life gets constantly shorter. Lithium cells have limited life spans, they last maybe a couple of years and what do you do then? I can accept having to change phone every few years. Modern phones are somewhat disposable. But having to change headphones would be a real drag. They are something I put in my body! It took many years to finally settle on a pair I could be comfortable with which wouldn't fall out. And I'm not picky about sound quality. People who care about that must have it even worse. Sound signature is very personal. For better or worse, I buy headphones for life. I would love to buy more things for life, but phones are obviously impossible. But imagine having to change your wallet or something. You probably bought jackets or trousers based upon that shape. Maybe the comparison is a stretch, the point remains that I really don't want to buy new headphones. Ever.
