I’m looking for some BIFL over ear (wireless Bluetooth, since I’m always breaking the wires by accident) headphones.

I haven’t had much luck with the earbud things. They’re always falling out unless I put them in real well. I want something you can just put in and forget about. Something good for working in the field, running, etc.

It’s annoying to have a pair of headphones you really like, only for them to break around the two year mark. Seems like nothing lasts these days.

I’d be willing to pay up to $200, but do tend to buy most things used.

Thanks.

    My Bose QC35s have lasted 7 years so far, and don’t show any sign of problems. I use them heavily, wearing them 5+ hours a day typically.

    I replace the earcups once every year for about $15, that’s it.

      Seconding the Bose QC35s. They may be a bit bulkier, heavier, and pricier than what OP is looking for, but the active noise-cancellation is a sweet relief on noisy trains and planes.

      I’ve had my pair for about 3 years, they still work great. I wear them for three+ hours every day, and have replaced the ear cups once so far.
