I have a 3.5mm jack in my phone and I haven't used it once for the past two or three years I have used this device. I switched to a pair of tws Bluetooth earbuds in 2019 (around, but definitely pre-covid) and have used the same pair since. Everyone who claims Bluetooth earphones are unrecyclable electric garbage probably have never gotten a proper pair (which doesn't have to be expensive whatsoever) or any at all
I got a mildly expensive pair (100€) and are rock solid since I guess 2018 or 2019. Batteries still last as much as needed, and they never failed me. Battery last days with my usage and in any case, just recharge one while using the other. I use them for phone calls mostly, or movies, and lots of music while I run.
I also have a cheapo pair (30€) which still work from 2015/0216 but I didn't used them much since 2019, so...
I have had a similar experience to you. My earliest pair was bought in 2019 and their battery life is still really good. Perhaps I just don't listen as often or at the same level of volume as others. However, they are still objectively worse for the environment than wired earphones by virtue of the battery - there is no escaping that.
