      A decent set of headphones will have an effectively all-day battery, and most people probably aren’t listening to their headphones for 8+ hours a day.

      I’ve had my headphones for about 7 years now and they still last for several hours on a single charge, and they support fast charging. If they’re at 0%, I can plug them in for 10 minutes and they’ll have about 2 hours worth of charge. I charge them maybe once a week with casual use.

      They usually charge themselves in their case (small pods) or have big batteries (over ear). I use my pods probably 8 hours a day, and just need to charge the case once or twice a week.

        The battery will wear our within a few years and become unusable. My Bluetooth headphones now last about 30 minutes.

          I got my headphones over 6 years ago, the battery last as long as it always has. And I use them a few hours every day.

          I’m sure that’s true, but I’ve never managed to keep a pair of earpods for more than a couple of years. I always end up losing them, generally while travelling.

          Got the AirPods Pro 1st Gen in 2019, still going strong. Usually have to recharge every 1,5-2 days and I use them pretty every day for commute from home to work and back (in total about 1,5H).
