i broke my current headphones and i'm afraid i won't be able to use it, i've been using Shure SRH-440 for a very long time (+5 years) but i fell off these headphones and i broke them in a way the headband is probably not possible for a repair, replacing it costs 2/3 of the headphones price so i want to get something new, with bluetooth+jack (because apparently i broke my headphones because of a wire catched on my chair), good controls so i can change songs when i walk with them, possibility to connect to my phone and pc at the same time, studio-alike sound quality, a closed headphone build and these ones seems to be good

my friend has ATH-M50x which is a very old model (almost the same one but without bluetooth) and i remember the quality was good, but i don't know if i should go for it. opinions?

i have these, very good. long battery life charges fast but you're pretty clearly paying a huge markup for them being wireless but if you're ok with that then these are quite good. i do only use them for my tv though so i'm not sure how they are outside but i've had no issues with the controls or anything, and it has no issues being paired up to multiple devices at once

I have a very old model (ATH-M20x) and sound quality is really good considering how cheap they are. Had them for a few years at this point and still going strong. Only issue is the earpads, I replaced them with some memory foam ones and they're great, no idea if this is still an issue with newer models but look into if you need replacement pads.

i'd check if people are having an easy time connecting them to windows via BT. windows BT in my experience is a total crapshoot between diff pc's and devices.
