Hello, I am looking for a quality and durable headphone with high audio quality on a budget around $200, I want it to last long and be comfortable when I wear it for hours, I primarily listen to music and audio-books and do some casual gaming like story games and Minecraft, I don’t usually carry headphones around but portability would be nice, preferably it’s not from a niche brand since the availability of brands is low in my country does anyone have any recommendations?

    I use the Sony MDR-7506 headphones with the Fosi Audio P3 Tube Preamp which together come to around $200. The headphones on their own are $98 and work very well with sound quality that for me seemed better than the slightly more expensive Audio Technica M40x head phones I had been using for years prior. Combined with the preamp the MDR-7506 headphones really take on a rich sound with the added benefit of adjustable Bass/Treble and bluetooth connectivity. I also really like that the band on the Sony headphones is made of metal, and the hinges (they do fold) are sturdy since I have a big head and have had problems with other ones breaking over time.

      I have a pair of 7506. I desoldered the cable and replaced it with a 3.5mm jack, and picked up a BT receiver from AliExpress. So I can use a cable when I want quality, or BT when I want convenience. They’re pretty much perfect to me.
