Looking for bluetooth headphones

Hey,

 

Recently I bought a pair of Senheiser Hd1s off of amazon during the prime day sale. I have been using them since then and already had to send to be changed because of various issues. Now, the new pair has another set of issues, mainly with it having trouble keeping a "clean" signal with my Pixel 2 in my pocket. One of the selling points for me was that it claimed to be able to play audio from multiple sources. It can, just not at the same time, which is what I am looking for.

 

I have been searching but cannot find anything, as I don't know much about audio.

Here are what I would be looking for:

  • Audio from multiple devices at once; i.e., Youtube on my PC, music from my phone and whatever else from my laptop, all at once no switching. 
    • While this is the most important for me I am willing to let it go if switching from one device to another is done by me without turning the headphones off or entering bluetooth setting via a switch or something.
  • Doesn't look cheap, I don't really want plasticky headphones
  • Will last for a while (3-10 years)
  • Not "too" expensive, in the 400-600$ range. Willing to splurge a bit more if it's justifiable. If it's cheaper, great.
  • Decent battery life, I'd like at least 10-12 hours, as I listen to music all day.
  • Bonus Internet points if I can order it from amazon.ca

Thanks to whomever has suggestions.

Bose QC35 headphones are a blast. I've had them for a few years and I am super happy with them. Superb sound, noise reduction, and great battery life, I charge mine barely once every few days with intensive use. It is able to connect to multiple sources but will play sound from the first device emitting a signal (if the signal stops and another device emits a signal, then it'll switch automatically), but they have an app (Bose Connect) that allows for manual switching. Great headphones, although a tad expensive.

I like hanging out and conversing about tech and stuff, commuting from forums to discord every so often.
