BIFL over ear headphones? (lemmy.world)

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'm 2 months late and you probably already bought something. But in case anyone else with a similar request to OP is looking through these comments, I recommend Souncore life q30s.

They have good audio quality for the price (approx $60-80), and can connect with both Bluetooth and replaceable headphone jack wire. So if the Bluetooth components or batteries break, you can still use them as wired headphones.

The only con I found is that they skimped out on the mic quality to make the audio quality higher and maintain that price point.

I'd also vouch for soundcore, I enjoy their wireless earbuds and speakers.
