Looking for Headphones
A few years back I bought the JBL Tune 770NC, which were pretty good for the $100 price range, however the first pair I had broke within 6 months but I was able to get a replacement pair that only lasted a year ish and I was not able to get another pair. School has just started and I'm extremely annoyed and antsy without noise canceling headphones bc I don't want to listen to college students weird conversations or even be talked to. So I want a pair of long lasting headphones, currently no price range, but I would prefer stuff on the more affordable side.
Requirements for headphones:
- over ear
-noise cancellation
-comfortable to wear for a few hours at a time and/or lightweight
- can connect to all sorts of devices
-affordable for a college student who makes minimum wage
-long lasting
-wireless, with the wire to connect to my non Bluetooth devices
- long battery life as well
general price range is $100-$200 however if something is TRULY worth it I'm willing to shovel out more money
I've seen good and bad reviews for the SONY WH-1000XM5 and the same for Bose quiet comfort. If you're going to recommend either one, please give me your experience with them!! I have a pair of beats studio that are specifically for my home use and they work decently, so should I just get another pair of those???
