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?

        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.
