I bought a pair if Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro headphones at least 15 years ago. I still use them all the time. Just change the ear pads and headband whenever they get gross and they're just like new again.

    Similar, I bought a pair of Bose earbuds 8 years ago. My dog gnawed on one of the earbuds when he was a puppy. 8 years later they still work and I still use em. Granted, only mobile device I have now with a headphone slot is my steam deck. Used to use them for my phone but they weirdly stopped making phones with headphone jacks.

    I have a pair of SE215s that are basically the same.. I've had them for years.

    I bought a Qudelix 5K and learned how to solder short replacement cables for them.. I just clip it to my shirt or bag or whatever. Since its LDAC you really can't tell the difference from using a wire either. It's a great setup actually.

    Wow I hope my AKG K7XX can last that long. Mine is going about 7-8 years now. Are the pads on the Beyer removable for cleaning?
