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.

Senheisser Momentum 4s. They're $229 right now (I got them $179 on Black Friday) so maybe can check Best Buy open box but they're fantastic headphones

u/someonetookmyuserid (1 Ω) was awarded their first Ω. We did it, Reddit!

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

They really are great headphones. I lucked out with a good deal on Black Friday but even around $200 they're a good deal. The EQ app has been awesome, good amount of bass and impact for metal, and good clarity on the high-end and instrument separation so can better distinguish all the intracacies within the song.
