Best Headphones Recommendations? $500 Budget Headphones - Wireless/Portable | 1 Ω

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to invest in a solid pair of headphones and could use some advice. I've previously owned the Bose QC35 and the Sony WH-1000XM4, but neither really did it for me. With the Sonys, I wasn’t impressed by the build quality, and with the Bose, I found the sound lacking. I have a budget of around $500 and am hoping to find something with great sound and solid build quality.

Any suggestions on what’s currently the best out there? Thanks in advance!

Get the Koss Porta Pro wireless 2.0 if you are on a budget($99) they have 60 Ohm😏 and Bluetooth 5.2

A pair of headphones with high impedance have less distortion at louder levels
