What are the best headphones with a great price-to-performance ratio?
If you’re looking for quality v price, I would be investigating wired headphones. - Grado SR60 (open back) - Sennheiser HD280 (closed back) Those are gonna be your best bet for sound quality and price. If you are looking for wireless and ANC, your choices under $100 are gonna be notably worse, audio quality-wise. Thats just the nature of that price point. The Anker headphones are fine for the price. A couple other good options: - JBL tune 670nc - Sony WH-CH270n

Headphones for sensitive friend
1. 99% of integrated mics are trash - go for dedicated one, like nlue snowball. 2. He may want to checkout open back headphones like panqsonic shp9500/9600, or sennhaiser hd560s - they let sorrounding sound in. 3. If he wants closeback - sony mdr 7506, sennhaiser hd280pro, or beyerdynamic dt770 are great options. If you want more reccomendations checkout r/headphoneadvice 4. I cant name one bt headphone thats built decenlty, sony xm4s are lifestyle product.

Looking for some Nice Headphones
Philips shp9500 or 9600 are probably the best for directional sounds open backed pretty comfy but you cannot replace the pads or headstrap when they eventually get nasty or start falling apart. Sennheiser Hd280 pros, Audio technica ath-m40x. These are both closed headphones so the directional sound isn't the best but the cables, pads, and headstrap are all replaceable and customizable they have a very durable design.

What’s one item you bought that way outperformed its price?
Yes! I've had the same pair of Sennheiser HD380 Pro for about 15 years now. Replaced the cushions twice in that time and always keep them in the case when not in use. They simply will not die. I'm convinced they'll outlive me.

I do love my Senn. HD 280 PRO's. A sound engineer friend suggested them and they're fantastic. The leather (or whatever material lines the foam cushioning) has peeled off the earbuds and is starting to peel off of the head band, but I don't mind the aesthetics and can get new foam surrounds for the ear pieces. And they were at or under $100? They're currently $99.95.

Best over the ear headphones for less than $150?
I got my Sennheiser 380 HDs for $99 on Amazon (by using camelcamelcamel.com) and absolutely love them! All the parts are replaceable, new velour pads can be had for $10, same with a shorter/longer straight cable. They are kinda pricey right now, so if you are looking to buy a pair immediately, the 280 HD Pros also get a ton of love and can be had for much cheaper.

I love my Sennheiser HD 280's. They're the best at blocking sound that isn't what you're listening to and have fantastic audio quality for the cost as well.
