I have two sets of headphones, one older set that takes a AA and a new one that charges. I use the older ones constantly since when they die I just grab a NiMH AA out of the charger and pop it in, back in 10 seconds. New one....not so much

The headsets I've seen which take AA batteries were heavy af.

What, no. Audio-technica from about 2016, they are normal weight.

I bought a set for work that comes with 2 rechargeable lithium packs and an external charger so you can just swap as needed.
