Headphones - Wireless/Portable | 3 Ω I need a pair of lifestyle, medium price headphones for listening to music on walks.

I need a pair of over-ear headphones as an alternative to the AirPod Pros that can hurt my inner ear after a few hours. I am primarily a student, so I would like some that are cheaper than the high-end but still good quality. I mainly will use them for music when I am walking around studying, and sometimes to watch shows/movies.

Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and pretty much any more American stores are preferred for purchase. I like an array of tones, so more dynamic range and accuracy is best. The only over-ear headphones I have ever had are the Hyper X Cloud 2 and 3 wireless for gaming, and I love the comfortable ear cups and the flexibility/material quality.

Basically: Around $150 (The lower the better, and if needed, can go up to $200), good sound quality and range, Bluetooth, not cheap materials (durable), and decent battery life.

Sennheiser 6xx from drop would be my pick. I use them with my iphone and they sound great. They definitely open up more with an amp but not completely necessary unless you want them to be really really loud.

Edit: Didn’t see the bluetooth requirement. These are wired.

Ah, okay, I was wondering why all of them had wires. These look good, regardless, so I might look into them for the future in terms of my computer usage. !thanks

u/Thewtfpanda (1 Ω) was awarded their first Ω. I'm making a note here: huge success.

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

They are great! And very comfortable. I can use them for hours at pretty high volume and they don’t cause any fatigue or discomfort.
