Another route to consider, and may be more economical in the long run, you could get yourself a Bluetooth dongle amp/receiver and plug in whatever headphones you have/want. Here is a basic/solid suggestion: FiiO BTR3K
This may be worth considering for your price point because while wireless headphones have gotten very cheap, they still have to do multiple jobs in one package. They are a headphone, battery, and wireless amp/receiver all in one package. That is convenient, but to make that cheap, you typically have to sacrifice on many of those fronts. However, if you put that same wireless headphone budget to just a wired headphone, you would have vastly improved audio quality because it is just doing one thing - being a headphone.
Similar goes for the FIIO BTR3K. It is doing only two jobs for you. Being a battery and handling all the wireless audio. Less to break, less to go wrong, and more options for you to plug in your favorite headphones without settling for Amazon's cheapest. Treat yo self.
