Wired headphones can be BIFL if you're willing to disassemble them to clean them every few years. Replace the ear cups, maybe the cable.
Wireless headphones absolutely are not. The rechargeable battery deteriorates. And even if you do replace it, the circuit boards in them are cheap and fail after a few years.
