One thing you can do is getting something like the UTWS1 from FiiO [1], which is then connected to any IEM that has an MMCX connector. This is not cheap, and is probably not going to give you the best battery life and/or sound quality, but when the battery dies or you get tired of it you still have a perfectly functional set of headphones.

I really want wired old-fashioned headphones to come back


Are they really gone though? Aren’t IEM still available for every budget?
