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?

If you're willing to hit up Ebay for "new in box" options, you can get some pretty good stuff under $180. For wireless:

Fairbuds XL: Made by the Fairphone folks, who have a very good reputation for repairability and longevity.

Sonos Ace: Stainless steel pivots, replaceable earpads, huge battery, no glitchy touch controls. Mine have treated me well so far. Absurd you can find them this cheap, considering the original MSRP.

    If OP lives outside of England or the European Union, Fairbuds might not be worth it because the company won't send replacement parts overseas. Which is a shame, because if I were ever to upgrade to Bluetooth, it would be the Fairbuds XL.
