My soundcore wireless headphones have lasted longer than any pair of wired headphones I've ever had. Going on 4 years now and just as good as the day I bought them. They were only $70 too. Not saying you're wrong but there's reasonably priced quality ones out there if you look

Second to soundcore. I got the soundcore life Q10 and love them several years later.

Do you spend $70 on your wired headphones though? Or are you comparing the durability of cheap crap wired headphones to decent value budget wireless headphones? I have both a pair of Soundcore wireless headphones and a couple of pairs of wired headphones at home that all cost around the same amount and I'm certain I could smash the Soundcore headphones into tiny pieces using the wired ones and the wired ones would still work fine.

I spent $30-40 a few times on some wired headphones. This was around 10 or so years ago so, what 50/55 in today money? Maybe more. They'd last me 8 months to a year instead of the 3 or 4 from the cheap ones but eventually the wire at the buds or the aux plug would wear out from being shoved in my pocket, bag, etc. For everyday use I prefer wireless. I have a nice turntable, amp, and speakers for when I want to listen at home. Headphones are exclusively an "on the go" thing for me and my several years old set of BT headphones do the trick just fine
