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?

    Sennheiser HD 6xx. Hands down the best for what you’re looking for aside from portability. Although their build quality is amazing and you can toss them around without worrying you’ll break them under normal use. They’re so comfortable I almost prefer not to take them off.

      and anyone who doesn’t want to do business with drop.com will be well served either buying second hand or with the 560S

      that said, if you go second hand also consider the 650 witch the 6XX is a clone of

          So. Anything I say should be taken as hearsay and unsubstantiated since I can’t cite it other than people I’ve worked with with direct experience working there. Drop had a particularly… Tech-bro-y chudly corporate culture. I seems the company has since been bought by Corsair but the whole thing still leaves a really bad taste in my mouth, however not bad enough that I haven’t still bought things from them when the product was unique and the price was right

            That tracks, tbh. I imagine they’ve enshittified slightly. I don’t think I’ve looked at that site in years, let alone done business with them.
