Anyone know of a good pair of headphones (Or earbuds if they are comfortable) for a student? I have these corsair ones and they were good for gaming but I have since stepped away from heavy gaming. Also these corsair ones are ripping apart. I was looking at beats and bose ones but they are $200 and if I can avoid that pricetag I certainly will. I would prefer bluetooth ones because my phone doesnt have a headphone jack. 

 

Thanks in advance

I've heard very good things about the Samson SR850 and Grado SR80e. They're both wired headphones, but focus on good audio quality at a reasonable price.

 

If you must have Bluetooth headphones, take a look at the Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT.

Are you open to Bluetooth receivers instead of actual bluetooth earphones?

While I agree the Galaxy Buds+ are on the better side of the True Wireless selection, I personally find them boring to listen too.

I would agree with this sentiment. If you want to spend even less you could get a TIN T2 instead of the Starfield.

I don't have too much experiences with wireless stuff. The wirecutter recommends some Jabra's which are 250.

These Sennheiser's should be a good option as well.  Don't get them for the noise cancellation

I own these and I've liked them.
