I currently have sony zx310 that someone gave me, very durable & the sound is ok as well.
However they are not comfortable at all, after using them for 10mins I want to take them off as it kinda squeezes on your head too much.

Anyone knows some Headphones that are Durable ( I know most of the headphones/earphones are of terrible quality and will only last a very short amount of time) +that are comfortable?

I would prefer not to have that noise cancellation stuff some of them have, don't mind cables,wireless would be ok as well. What's the best stuff you can get up to like 100? I wouldn't mind spending 50 or less as well,not really sure what's out there.

Why durable? Work environment? Unsubstantial user care?

Brah most of the china stuff falls apart from only looking at it...
Headphones has to be the worst for this.

Tbh most of mine have lasted me years.

Can't fault Sennheiser at that price point tbh. But comfort is very subjective.
Sennheiser HD 400S for example.

In my experience you get what you pay for with headphones. On a budget of £50 you are not going to get top quality materials, that are lightweight, comfortable and have good sound quality. I have a set of Sony WH-1000XM3 which weren't cheap but I can wear them for many hours with no issue. If its a hard budget I would come down the Sony range from there till you hit your price point.

I know you said non noise cancelling, but I have a pair of Bose QC35s which have been all around the world with me, and have been utterly abused, including being booted across the floor in Orlando airport security. Dented and scratched but work perfectly.

I wore the earbads out and bought replacements for a tenner, good as new. They are now my 'working around the house' headphones.

Hi,

For the last couple years and for a specific contract, I've been using Sony MDR-ZX770BN over ear, BT wireless & noise cancelling headphones and been very happy with them indeed - from a audio sound quality and performance and comfort view as I'll often wear them 8+ hours.

Durablily is great, not that I mistreat them, but I put them into a work holdall as is, I don't use the cloth bag or any other case etc and they've been absolutely fine. I don't carry anything sharp/dirty/heavy though, just essentials for that day - food/some clothes/small day bag etc.

They were £80 from Currys, much as I wanted the £300+ items, I couldn't justify it for this application.

Seems the WH-CH710N at £100 thats the current equivalent

Cheers, Dennis!
