Looking for DURABLE noise-cancelling wireless over-ear headphones will last longer than 2 years
I’ve had a pair of xm3’s since 2019 and use them almost every day when working. I have replaced the ear pads twice. First replacement I got the standard ones and they lasted a year then I got the gel ones and they have lasted over 2 years now. I also have a pair of xm6 that I use at home. They are amazing headphones and I recommend them.

Saturday morning I drove to my buddy’s house to get my XM3s back after leaving them 2 months ago. Saturday night my gf gifted me a pair of XM6s. This line is my go to recommendation.

Sony XMs. I have a pair of XM3 that I have had since 2018 or 2019 that are still going and I use these for flights and everyday use.

Sony WH-1000XM6 or Bose Quietcomfort Ultra Gen 2
Not directly relevant to the XM6... but I am still using a pair of XM3 daily that I purchased more than six years ago. Battery still good. Pads still good. Quite happy with Sony on these.

Need new Over ear headphones
The sony wh-1000xm4 is the best. I have had the xm3’s for 6 years of daily use and they’re going strong, only recently needed to replace the ear pads which were $10 and took 5 minutes. The xm4’s added a few features that make it worth upgrading. The xm5’s have a redesigned shape and don’t collapse down as small making them slightly worse for travel.

I need noise cancelling head phones that are big enough that they competely cover the average adult woman's ears
I bought the 1000xm3 in 2018 before spending 9mo in Afghanistan. I've since used them for countless yard mows, plumbing installs, gym seshs etc. I love em and also have a much cheaper pair of wf-c500 earbuds(non noise cancelling) that are also in perfect condition after at least 2 years. Sony makes good stuff.

Wireless Headphones That Will Survive Uni
Sony WH-1000XM series I have the XM3s that have lasted for seven years. Some of the plastic cracked, but an easy fix with some gorilla tape.

Best noise canceling headphones?
Same, and I take mine to the gym REGULARLY. XM3s that I bought in 2021, the battery still lasts long and they sound fantastic. I did end up buying the Sennheiser M4s, but mostly because the sale was good. You can also replace the earpads on the Sony's/Bose's so it's a good (cheap) way to breathe new life into your old headphones.

Best noise canceling headphones?
Best? No more than 250? Hard to fit both of those criteria at the same time , but maybe you can find some Sony XM3 or XM4 on sale. They’re both great, but the newer xm5 have better NC imo.
