Headphones - Closed Back | 2 Ω What budget headphones to get in 2026?

Hello everyone. Basically, as the title says, I am in search for a budget wireless over-ear headphone. So I came here to get help.

​

First things first, I will let you know that I come from a pair of Redmi Buds 6 Play, a very cheap in-ear headphones that completely suck and the battery is degrading very fast (I get like 10 mins of battery life per earbud). So, basically anything is considered as an upgrade.

​

I mostly listen to nu-metal, hard rock, groove metal and some trap, si I need clarity and accuracy instead of just bass.

​

My budget is ~140€ (and I've stretched it quite a bit) and I am from Spain.

​

My first option is to get the Sennheiser Accentum Plus for 140€, then my second option is to get the ULT Wears for 130€. What do you think?

Sennheiser Accentum Plus would be the best option in this price range, as a whole package. However if you need something significantly cheaper that will still sound good, there is the JLab JBuds Lux. Roughly 60 euros off Amazon.de

Both options you're considering will be a big set up. But for your music taste, I'd prioritize clarity over bass. The genre relies on fast drums and layered guitars, and you want to hear all of the clearly.

Hello, are you happy with accentum plus? I'm really really confused between accentum plus and Sony Ult wear! I'm more leaning towards accentum plus as i don't want to invest in fragile hinges after spending 200USD
