You can hardly find wired headphones now. When you do they are junk. I want a sturdy headphone where they did not save every penny making the wire near microscopic, cheap joints, etc.
Paying more does not mean it is quality either.
Recording musicians use them for monitoring. Bluetooth has too much latency when you are trying to keep your groove in the pocket.
I’m finding lots of great 10-15 yo used recording gear/tech that was originally $200+, going for cheap, like less than $50, because it doesn’t have Bluetooth, which you don’t want with recording gear anyway.
What’s your budget? over ears or earbuds? if over ears open back or sealed?
Idk, 20, 40, more if needed if it will hold up to use at work. I usually get the sports ones that have the ear loop so you don’t have to constantly put earbuds back in the ear.
Shop where the musicians shop.
Go to where the audiophiles are. There are plenty of headphones and IEMs (earbuds) under $50 (and even $25) that sound fantastic and sound better than $200 dollar options out there. My favs that I actually tried are the MOONDROP Chu 2 $23, Koss KSC75 $20, and the Sennheiser HD 600 (which I got on eBay for like $250). Check out the audiophile subreddit, there are plenty of people who have made ranking lists.
Just see mondrop chu c2 for 20$ destroying 150$ Bluetooth earphones.
