Personally I would wait till the wheels fall off. Consider it like this: if your existing headphones work fine, would you pay the price of the new headphones purely to not have to use the cable again. To me that seems like a waste of money, but it is your money and who I am I to tell you how to spend it? If you were thinking of upgrading them anyway, regardless of the cable situation, then I would maybe consider it. It seems a lot of money when you can just unplug the micro usb and swap the cable to usb c, which takes maybe 5 seconds? Only if you are charging on the go, with other usb c devices then maybe it makes sense.
Can't say for sure, but my theory is that people sorta accept that Putin is a hated person. Most people in Western countries - or rather people not in Russia - hate the guy, therefore people don't necessarily feel the need to elaborate on their dislike of him. Whereas people like Trump, after all, he got voted in so clearly some people must like the guy. Therefore people push back harder against him to convice others to do the same.
I guess there is such thing as stupid questions.
