I'm Looking for a pair of wireless headphones for casual listening.

These will mostly be used to watch Youtube videos, music, anime and taking calls.

Main Features im looking for are Battery Life, Audio Quality and Mic Quality.

I'll also use this to take calls. I'm okay with either open or closed back.

Budget is <USD$70

I live in Malaysia so availability can be hit or miss

Some brands that i know are TaoTronics, Edifier, Sony, Mpow.

PC: Ryzen 5 2600, 16GB 3200mhz RAM (8GBx2), Gigabyte B550M DS3H, GTX 1050 2GB, 650W Semi-Modular PSU80+ Gold

Phone: Poco F3 8GB + 256GB

Audio: Samson SR850s

Sound Card: SoundBlaster Play 4 USB sound card

IEM: planning to get the KBEAR KS2s
Please be patient with me, I'm fatally dumb and its honestly a miracle I've made it this far

Anker soundcore life Q20. Hands down amazing value. $60 and have exceptional ANC as well that doesn't make your ears hurt. Call quality is pretty damn good for the price as well. Crisp highs, full mids, and deep bass. 40H playback, and they come with a detachable aux as well.

Interesting I was hunting for headphones and those Anker Q20s kept coming up seems like they're worth it.

 

Alright so now I'm going to buy that if I can.

In my region it's $62.5 and ships from Anker Indonesia. So pretty good except for the micro usb. That I really do not like.

 

If I can't buy that I might just get the Sony CH510 which are dirt cheap at $38 and have almost the same battery life. 35 hours Vs 40.

it's also Type C

 

The only problem is it doesn't have a 3.5mm jack, so if the battery dies so do your headphones. Which is annoying considering jack-less phones have proven that audio over type c is possible. They are also on-ear which I don't know how it would fit. I would have to try it out a store first. Since they're Sony's maybe I can find this in store even.

 

The last resort would be the middle ground.

A Samson SR850 + Fiio uBTR.

The SR850 are semi open and have excellent sound for its price ($20) and the uBTR ($30) can be used for other pairs of headphones or earphones that I have. I kinda really like this idea the best. It's DIY and versatile as well.
