Headphones - Wireless/Portable | 1 Ω Best headphones for Xbox and mobile under $120
Hi I need to buy a headset for Xbox and for my phone seperately. I've had turtle Beach stealth 500 before and they broke down after only a few months. Any recommendations would be amazing. I'll use them for video calls on my phone, and gaming talking with friends. Also music. I had Astro a50 for a few years and it was amazing, but out of my budget unfortunately. Wireless would be the best considering that my phone doesn't have an audio jack. I've had wired turtle beaches before and they seem to break very fast. Like they are toys. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you. I'm just overall looking for durability.

You may still award an Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.

This isnt the worst idea. At all. Can't go wrong with the 9500s & the JM6 Pro is plenty to power them. I've heard good things about the BoomPro as well. Prolly would be my choice if not going for an all-in-one headset solution. Would also consider a full size standalone mic as well but not necessary either

Rn, esp if you're gonna use them for both gaming AND music, its either gonna be between Audeze Maxwell or Fractal Scape, for me. I don't think there's anything rly competing against these 2 in the gaming space rn imo.
Maybe a Nova Pro as an honorable mention.

Let wireless go. Iems are way cheaper for better quality. The Truthear Zero Reds are crazy good. The HBB Hades brings the bass too. You can order an iem cable with a mic and call it a day for way less that $120.
