I am aware that most wireless headphones use built-in batteries nowadays, but strictly speaking, your argument doesn't relate to wireless headphones, but to products with non-replaceable batteries.

The Sennheiser RS180, for example, had rechargeable and replaceable batteries inside. Ironically, mine died a few months ago, but I am still not sure what the cause was.

Sadly the RS 185 was recently discontinued, and it doesn't look like it will be getting a replacement.

I actually bought a couple spare HDR 185 headsets a few weeks ago, which I'm hoping last me for several decades.
