One sort-of semi solution is to use a bluetooth dongle with wired headphones. Usually still not easily replaceable batteries, but at least when the thing dies or becomes outdated due to codecs changing, you’re not wasting as much money and material as you are when you need to replace a whole headset.
There are a lot of decent dongles nowadays. When last I checked I think the Qudelix-5K was the one to beat.
I love mine, and the battery management on the qudelix is phenomenal. Built in 80% mode, doesn’t pull from battery while plugged in. And it looks like it could be opened with a screwdriver though I haven’t tried.

The qudelix is stupidly powerful for how tiny it is, especially if you run it with balanced cables.
