    I don’t think this is a cash grab but I too am of the mindset that wired > wireless headphones.

    Wireless headphones almost always are obsolete within 5-10 years tops for a variety of reasons. A good pair of wired headphones can last decades and I can already feel the angry eyes of people reading this about to say “WHAT CABLE LASTS DECADES?!” and my answer is… very few! But I’d feel much better about replacing a cable on my headphones than I would replacing lithium batteries on wireless headphones or worse, replacing the headphones every 5-10 years.
