I bought a pair of 190 Euro Sennheiser HD-25 II roughly 10 years ago. I had to swap my cable once in these 10 years which costed me 35 Euros (and the fact that after ten years you still can buy that cable speaks for itself).
In the same timeframe my girlfriend went through roundabout 400 Euros of cheapass (or just cheaply manufactured but overpriced) headphones and earplugs, both wired or bluetooth. Some lost, many broken etc.
And I nearly used my headphones everyday, in the subway, when jogging, as a DJ on the stage, for sound recording on film sets standing outside in winter during rain. I stepped on them more often than I am comfortable with.
Wired headphones aren't bad — shitty wired headphones are.
