AppleCare+ does cover the full cost of battery replacement, but only for 2 years. I don't know what threshold they set for replacement, but IIRC it's 80% of max capacity for their laptops.

I don't know how these new headphones perform, but I would doubt that many people would get below 80% in two years (even with increased usage due to COVID).

It might still be worth it to get the warranty though, since it covers accidental damage (with a deductible), and the cost for the warranty is the same as the cost for battery replacement ($80).
