I’ve got TWS for commuting as well (because of the ANC), but I almost never use them at home.

In general, there are advantages to wired headphones, even ignoring their professional use: low latency, compatibility with all kinds of devices, and especially sustainability. TWS last maybe 5 years in the best cases before the battery dies (and often cannot be swapped) or software support runs out. A good pair of over ears can last decades.

dude, no battery is going to last 5 years, specially not the ones that TWS use. if anything after the first years they will start to lose their capacity to hold energy, and by year 2, they might as well only charge a 3/4 to 2/4 of the original charge capacity, and it's all downhill from there. problem is that also these batteries are too light a too underpowered to last enough time between recharges before It becomes annoying, and as soon as you start to lose half of you battery life, the TWS themselves will be more of an annoyance than a useful pair of wireless earbuds lol
