Yes, the cheap ones have that problem. Decent quality makes all the difference. I have had mine for years with no problems.
The Bluetooth ones with a detachable cable are the best of both worlds tbh
Cheap is fine. I don't use wired headphones as much, but I'd rather they break than whatever they're connected to. I'd have a bunch of devices with ruined ports if my headphones had been stronger. Best option would be if they just disconnected from the port, but that's less likely if the cable is orthogonal to the jack when I'm about to break it.
Back in the day, I thought Apple revolutionized with magnetic charging cables, but I never really saw that get widespread mass usage.
