Why are you comparing in-ear earbuds to over-ear headphones?

why would I want a replaceable battery? My airpods have been working fine for 6 years now. Isn't THAT better for the environment?

What % of people replace a battery over the lifespan of an item? Does the increased complexity and size of the unit make up for the slightly longer lifespan? What makes it "better" for the environment, exactly when it all ends up in a landfill after 5 years anyway?

Those are some weird looking in ear earphones
