I keep buying these JBL headphones, the 50~70$ ones, and they last like 9 months usually. Otherwise i really like them, I feel like I don't need all the fancy features that are in the real expensive ones, like the noise canceling and whatnot, but If I found somthing that would last multiple years, id probably be willing to pay alot more than just 50$, because it really adds up.

    any recommendations for durable headphones?

    1. I own a pair of brown Beats headphones. I can’t recall the exact price, but they are of excellent quality, very comfortable, and durable.

      I use Google Pixel ear buds. I’ve had two pair and each lasted me three years before the quality really started to deteriorate. They retail for $130 so definitely cheaper over the long run

    3. I’ve had a pair of Sony MDR 7506 since like 2006… I have had to replace the cord once and the ear pads a couple times.

      Bose sound quality is unparalleled and I’ve had my headphones for over 5 years. I wear them and my AirPod pros constantly. They have Bose headphones at Costco but might not be on holiday sale anymore 🤷‍♀️

    5. I’ve have three pairs of Bose headphones/ear buds, each of which has lasted a long time: bought the regular headphones in 2000, noise cancelling in 2009, and ear buds in 2017.
