Try Bose QuietComfort 25 if you dont want to go with sony again.

Thanks for the suggestion, just looking to see what else is out there that I might like for daily drivers.

Do you mind if they have a cable?

Really and truly no, but unfortunately my pixel 2 doesn't have a headphone jack but I did see a Bluetooth adapter for said headphones.

Sigh and I do love me a good pair of wired ones lol I was contemplating buying a mp3 player and sticking my 128gb mem card in it and calling it a day. I'd charge my phone less that way too

Lol that’s true. 

I don’t have a new enough phone that I need a lot of dongles (iPhone SE's got a headphone jack) but with all my other tech, I’ve gotta use a stupid dongle.

My daily drivers are Corsair HS60s, little big and bulky and they do get hot after while but they were cheap, and they’ve got awesome sound for the price.

Well I only got a new phone cause the screen on my lg v10 was finally kicking the bucket and my friend had just gotten a bunch of pixel 2XL's and he gave me one.After about 3 weeks of using the dongle for music I just said fuck it and went over to using the sony's as my daily drivers but since they're broken they don't seal as good so it doesn't sound as good on the right side.
