All good wired headphones and earbuds (“IEMs”) have replaceable cables. And the ones that don’t are super cheap.

I once had a wire break in the cable that goes from the left can to the right can (not the external cable).

You can get that in wireless headphones too though? Most of those have a similarly shaped cable that goes across the headphones; there’s not a separate Bluetooth receiver on each side.
