That is like Apple AirPods, those are very heavy and extended wear gets you tired.

And most over-ear headphones are already pretty fixable. Most brands provide spare parts for like 20 years.

Please, point me to the bluetooth/wireless noise-cancelling over-ear headphones that are pretty fixable at a level comparable to that of the Fairbuds here?

Note, it must meat ALL the criteria I listed. Missing anything makes answer worthless. e.g. If it offers everything except for bluetooth or noise-cancelling means it's worthless in this context, and cannot be considered.

AirPods Max are actually pretty repairable and the battery can be replaced.
Bose has repair service. It isn't self-service, so it depends if your goal is throwing less shit away, or being able to service your own devices.
‘Repair service’ often just means they’ll throw it away for you and ship you a new one.
I think it depends a lot on the product. Their aviation headsets and other non-consumer audio equipment gets repaired for sure
I'm familiar with Bose's repair service. This is not the same as Fairbuds, and does not meet the minimum requirements stipulated.
If you're going to be picky, you have to be specific.

Do you mean self-serviceable rather than just serviceable?

I meant wired headphones.

Then maybe Fairbuds should charge 600$ to sweeten the deal.
