Last night EQDSO broke yet another set of earphones and today I will
mostly be putting them back together again. (I keep a small stock of
replacement bits for this purpose.) But you helped me put it into
perspective. If the worst thing I have to complain about is repetitive
headphone destruction then I am a pretty lucky chap.

Get some 1920s headphones and no-one'll ever break them again.

Where will you get a crystal set to use them with?

I don't ever plan to make a crystal set, simple as they are. They're crap.
Nor will I use them on an old valve set, they're high Z & have exposed terminals sticking out.
Nor do I plan to use them with a modern radio, they're marishly uncomfortable.
The wire is exposed & uncordgripped, so not entirely robust either. But after trying them once she'll never use them again, unless she's super-weird.
