  You can repair a broken cable fairly easily.

  When you buy wireless headphones you know upfront that they will die within a few years and you will not be able to replace the tiny glued in, oddly shaped batteries they come with.

  I like the convenience of BT at times, but I really miss having headphone jacks and hate having to bring adaptors with me.

  and Apple’s:

  Jack being simple technology, it’s also very easy to get it repaired by the nearby tech enthusiast armed with a soldering iron.

    To add to that, many IEMs (and many other headphones too probably) come with removable cables.
