I’m looking for some BIFL over ear (wireless Bluetooth, since I’m always breaking the wires by accident) headphones.

I haven’t had much luck with the earbud things. They’re always falling out unless I put them in real well. I want something you can just put in and forget about. Something good for working in the field, running, etc.

It’s annoying to have a pair of headphones you really like, only for them to break around the two year mark. Seems like nothing lasts these days.

I’d be willing to pay up to $200, but do tend to buy most things used.

Thanks.

    I have the 660s, but you can find the 6xx’s new or used in your price range. The body is plastic, but it holds up really well. I have dropped mine about a dozen times on a hardwood floor and they look brand new. These are not pocketable though. Someone might have a better recommendation for that need/want. The 500 range does not have a detachable cable to my knowledge, but otherwise are nice headphones as well.

    As an alternative to the 1000xm3’s, you can check out the Bose 700’s. I gave my pair to my other kid and she has been using hers for a long time without issues. Battery is always going to be the limiting factor for BT headphones.
