I use beyerdynamic dt770 pro, since 2015. My first pair was 250ohm and served me until 2020, I accisentally bumped the wall while wearing them and that resulted in irrecoverable mechanical damage (though they sell individual components so I probably would be able to fix them). After destroying first pair I got second, same model only this time 32ohm so they are a bit easier when plugged to my phone.
I've been pretty happy with various Sennheiser Momentum headphones over the past few years (some wireless, some not).
It's the kind of thing I get on amazon resale / warehouse. I think $1-200 is about right for some decent headphones, good enough, $3-500 to me is nuts for something that will inevitably live a pretty hard life and get lost / broken after a year or two.
I’d suggest getting a separate mic and headphone set because you reduce the likelihood of having to compromise on either when packaged together.
I think the Audio Technica ATH-M50x and ATR-2100 should be a a solid start and fit within your budget. I used to own both and have upgraded a few times since.
i like sony WH-XM1000 series. I have 3, but it works great. turn off NR is easy, it even comes with a cord to use when it runs out of power. if you like audiophile quality - 300 is not going to cut it.
I used Edifier WH950NB and I really like it. I used them every day for at least 3 to 4 hours for almost 2 years now, and they are like brand new.
Very comfortable, good sound quality (not an expert by any means) and the battery duration is good considering that I used them always with noise cancelling on.
It sounds good on calls and without ANC environment sounds are ok to keep a conversation.
PD: I realize this looks a little bit like an ad. It is not, I just like the product.
