Wireless earbuds are trash and part of the problem, like wireless mouses. Stop putting irremovable batteries in things that don't need batteries, its basically just planned obselecence on shinier more expensive goods. The last thing I want is to spend money on is good quality audio equipment that has a necessary end of life date due to charge cycles. These days you can scarcely find good headphones that arent wireless.
Ok no but a wireless mouse is so much better, rechargeable batteries are the way
Even rechargable batteries have a limit, if you cant swap the battery as a user it's part of the ewaste problem. It's also a lot more power consumption for somthing that stays in a stationary space reletive to the computer or laptop.
Here's a better idea, batteries that you can unscrew from the earbud.
You convince anyone to take away my wireless earbuds and I'll hunt you down.
