He uses some no name wireless ones for working out. I think he got them off Groupon.
He also has the Bose noise canceling ones. And for working at home on his computer he listens to music/talks on the microphone and has Turtle Beach or something like that. Haha DH isn't really into labels if you can't tell. |

Bose or Jabra. Beats are overpriced and trying too hard to be ultracool. |

. Not more than $300 |

Not trying to have him look cool. This was his argument as well. I am the clueless one and not sure which ones to get him though. |

Bose or Jabra, you can find great ones under $250. But there's many models, try to understand first how he'd use them. |

A lot more information is required. Does he want wireless or wired? In what type of environment does he use them? If I am not concerned about background noise, I use Sennheiser HD650. A really good deal is this:
https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-sennheiser-hd6xx which is a slightly-modified version of the HD650. This is a wired headphone. If I want to go wireless or am more worried about background noise, I use V-Moda, either the Crossfade 2 Wireless https://www.v-moda.com/us/en/products/crossfade2-wireless or the Crossfade 2 Wireless Codex Edition: https://www.v-moda.com/us/en/products/crossfade2-wireless-codex (I have both). I also have earbuds, but that's another topic. |

Thank you very much for these. I think wireless. These are great recommendations, I appreciate it. He is going through a pretty tough cancer protocol with daily infusions and a transplant soon. So noise canceling And wireless preferred. I will check out the v Modas. Thank you!! I purchased the beats for him and he laughed and said he wasn’t twenty. I am clueless so this helps tremendously. Thank you! |

I'm sorry to hear about your husband's health issues. Hopefully he'll make a full recovery. The V-Modas are not noise cancelling, but they block more noise than the Sennheisers. They operate both wired or wirelessly. If he wants noise cancelling, the best choice is Bose QuietComfort. |

Great recommendations. I have the hd650 also but i have a dac/amp to drive them. I dont know about the vmoda though but I've heard good things. Headfi has some good recommendations.. My next headphones (pending my wife approval) are the fostex th900mk2 |

I got DH these for Christmas and he's very happy with them. They are not noise canceling, but can be used wired or wireless. I think Aiwa has been trying to make a comeback?
https://www.amazon.com/Aiwa-Bluetooth-Headphones-Playtime-Extreme/dp/B07FFFT8G3 DH is 35 and absolutely did not want Beats because, as I understand it, their focus is on bass and that's not what he's looking for. Also for me, my favorite pair of headphones (which I no longer have) were Vmoda ear buds. The sound was phenomenal. |
