While I somewhat agree and I use cheap wired earbuds as well, this consumables part annoys me a lot as well. These just don't last even a year for me and are unrepairable. There has to be a better way.

A happy middle ground is buying a pair of IEMs and a Bluetooth dac/amp.

For $50 each you get earphones that should last you a lifetime and have above average audio quality. With the benefit of IEMs being you can replace the cable as needed.
